    What's your favorite RX antenna?

    I'm using a quarter wave lambda antenna on my 900Mhz TX and the junky stock dipole antenna on the RX. I'm looking into different types of antennas for receivers, so I figured I'd ask: What's your favorite type? Looking for good signal strength, directional antennas are okay too. I fly mostly in...

    Antennas and aerials

    Thought it might be good to put all the antenna and aerial questions in one spot. There's a lot of information out there and it can be hard to find. So here is my question: Is bigger better? ie could you put say the antenna from the cb in your 4x4 on your transmitter and expect better results...

    Cloverleaf Antenna size

    Hi all :) As my first thread in the forum (probably in the wrong place too...and there is probably already an answer to my question), I want to ask about Cloverleaf Antenna's. Now I understand why to use Cloverleafs, clockwise and anti-clockwise builds, but I want to really ask about size...

    Helical or Skew Planar?

    Hi Which one is better, the 5,8GHz helical or the skew planar antenna? I have a cloverleaf on my quad and a skew planar on my goggles. Is it worth building a helical ground station and then connecting it to my goggles. Which one have the best range and/or picture?

    Circular polarized antennas - left or right hand?

    Hi guys, I am just getting into FPV, and recently got my FPV equipment. It came with the stock antennas which is of no use at all, so I have decided to make my own circular polarized antennas, but I have a question. I have made the Clover Leaf Antenna for the TX which is a left hand antenna...

    Cloverleaf Antenna Jig - With CAD Files

    Cloverleaf antennas are hard to build! So yesterday I drew up a design for a jig. Today I cut it out of 1/8" plywood on my new laser cutter and built two antennas. It worked perfectly!! I thought some others might want the vector files...

    Antenna height?

    Hello All, I am setting up a ground station for FPV. Doing reseach and found some guys have low to the ground antennas. And others high. I am making my system around 5.8MHz. Do each frequency have a different optimal height that the antennas work better. Or one height better for long distance...
