Very cool, I've got it set up on my Computer and it's pretty good fun to fly


I've been tinkering with antenna's of late. I've been quite happy with my Immersion RC Duo and two 8 turn helicals. I just wanted to get them up a bit higher in the air. I noticed the picture just beginning to break up a bit if I went really low to the ground say below about 3 or 4 feet high and at a distance greater than about 80 yards away. Hopefully some extra height on the ground station antennas will be the cure. As Kizza's suggestion I managed to get a couple of speaker stands from Ebay and used some PVC pressure pipe to extend them upward even further. The 3D printer has been going non stop for days making all the brackets and more than a few spare moments have been directed to CADing up the various Solid models.

Here's a few pics of the progress so far

   
   
   
   
   
   



The other thing that I did was get an Oracle Video diversity box

here's link http://www.readymaderc.com/store/index.p...oduct_info&cPath=11_26&products_id=83

What it does is allow you compare the video out from two VRX's and divert the best signal at any moment to the screen or goggles.

Idealy you could use two ImmersionRC Duo's and use the oricle to pick the best fropm those and you'd have pretty good 4 way diversity and if you wanted you could gang even more together and make 6 or even 8 way diversity systems.

At the moment I have it set up to give 3way diversity with the two 8 coil helicals on the Duo and an 18 coil helical on a single channel skyzone VRX and I'm using the Oracle to choose between the them.

I am super keen to test it out this weekend!!
