    I think it'll work ok. The video quality could be better but it's good enough for now.
    Tomorrow I'll start transferring the gear to the 450.

    The gear is all moved over to the quad now and ready for the first flight with it. All I need is a little fair weather and some open space.
    I wasn't able to get the tilt for the camera to work. Fatshark wouldn't play nice with Futaba, at least for now. Don't know what the issue is for sure but I've given up on using it for the time being.

    Did you get a chance to fly your 450 this weekend?

    No, the weather's been crappy. The coming week is supposed to be nice so I'll give it a go soon.

    After a couple of glitches this morning I finally got a flight in this evening. Not much to look at, "baby steps and boring" but it was a step forward. I need more space until I've built up a little stick time.

    I know this video is from your DVR, but is it exactly what you saw while flying?

    The reason I asked is because I would have thought that there would be fewer dropouts for the distance you were flying.

    It's similar but not as bad as it was on the truck. Whenever it gets behind something, it will start dropping frames. You notice the patio roof was blocking my line of sight when it was doing most of it. That is the down side of the 5.8 system.

    What antennas are you using on both ends?

    I have the ImmersionRC Fat Shark antenna (cloverleaf) on both.
    What happened to our nice weather? :(

    Are those the model that have the antenna "wings" inside a plastic housing?

    Don't know about the weather. It's crummy down here also. Just when we thought it was going to be nice a while.

    Those look pretty nice inside. It looks like the wire has a flat profile, almost like they were stamped from sheet copper.
    I like when these style antennas have a cover because I would be afraid I'd bend the leafs and throw the whole thing out of whack.
