You can even install the 5.8 cloverleaf inside towards the rear.

Using the 808 #16 keychain camera which has live video output for FPV. Works pretty good, and very light.

it's interesting to see on the first video that the motors are slightly out of sync

Here's a nice FPV cruise over Red Rocks.

Same as if you put video antenna pointed down.

Batteries and blocking things make transmission not good

It's not negative or positive but rather collectors that can be above blocking stuff

Main antenna for UHF should be pointed down and clear and free of all stuff

Secondary is collector put that facing up

hmm im pretty sure on the Dragonlink site it sates the neg to be pointing down. The pos has to be held up right with sometime like a straw/tube. (which it is, jsut cant see it i guess)?
the neg on the "bottom" can be free, but for long range its recommended to have it straight out.
i dont want to get off topic, but its been mentioned sereral times on the DL thread
Here the link ot the DL site.

Thx!

I decided to let my Son Nick, who is 13, make a flight completly under goggles with me spotting for the take off and landing. I tried to fly his EasyStar for some formation flying but the wind was pushing that little bird all around while the Penguin was fairly steady. Nick did a fantastic job.

Sorry for the goofy music. I had a great Stones song with the first upload but YouTube didn't like it.

FPV flight under goggles from takeoff to landing. Flown with DragonLink by Nick (13). (3 min 58 sec)

Where can I buy these "see-through" props that squeeze you between branches that you shouldn't be able to squeeze through? Without hitting anything.

Nice flying.
