Hi all, don't beat me, just sittin around, pondering the universe so to speak.
1. I think just about any video TX or RX comes with a "dipole" antenna, which everybody says are worthless. I know I have a whole fist full. So then why are most all our radios either have a "dipole" or no exposed antenna at all ???
2. When this multirotor craze started for me, most everything was powered by 3 cell packs. My first, an AR Drone, 2 Phantoms, then really got into with a "Flip" from witespyquad, (which I still love) and all through the 250's, FPV, goggles, monitors, etc. etc. "However" most FPV cameras now-a-days are 12 volt, and some will ***** when the voltage drops below 12. Soooo, I'm thinking I should have been investing in 4 cell packs all this time. 4 cell through a regulator providing a stable 12 volts would be much better than a "step-up" regulator, in my opinion. And now that my thumbs are a little more nimble than when I started, 4 cells are a lot more fun!
