I hope the weather's good this weekend, because today my Fatshark Predators arrived! I've never had much luck with ebay, but I'm pretty happy with this buy - $247.50 including postage for new, unused Predators. Receiving the box, it was obviously bought as an RTF and the camera and tx removed.
I'm going to source a 5.8Ghz tx for it, but I've got an unused 900Mhz system to do some 'testing' with. My pan and tilt camera mount is together, so I just need to attach the camera and servos and stick the lot on the ply canopy for the Bixler. I've tested the goggles in the lounge room, and am pretty impressed with the picture in pretty dodgy light with the 520TVL Pal Sony camera though the 900 system. I measured the active part of the dipole antenna, and it seems to be closest to a 1/4 wave of 910Mhz. I put my phone right next to it and called, and surprisingly didn't get any interference.
