I’ve been experimenting with some page layout and updated the Fire Denyer information page – HERE. Information or Clutter I find it a challenge to balance between readable/informative and cluttered/confusing. Too much information and the page looks complex and off-putting. Too little information and it doesn’t do justice to the […]
I’ve finished the testing of the yagi and it has worked out well. I started off with the elements just stuck onto the boom at the calculated positions and it worked reasonably well; more directional but the gain was noticeably down compared with another antenna. So I set up the […]
I’ve been working on a new tracking antenna design that can be shipped in a disassembled form and easily reassembled. It can be supplied as a set of elements that simply screw onto a wooden boom of about 20×20 mm by 800 mm long. I’ve done some preliminary testing and […]
I have built a mount for the recently rewired FPV receivers. It’s made out of pine, glued, screwed and painted. It mounts directly to the quick release on the small tripod. See this post for details of the RC305 receiver mods.
A brief description of a small 2.4G fpv system I built about 3 years ago. It uses Airwave modules and runs off 12V or a 3-cell LiPo. The transmitter will operate from a 2-cell Lipo.
So far so good. There are still some links to fix and some tidying up to do but it’s getting there. I’ll work through the pages and do a general clean up. The switch to Suffusion was not too difficult. I had the test site with basically the same changes, […]
I’m changing the site theme from Elbee-Elgee to Suffusion and I’ll do it with the site running. I expect it will take me 30 minutes to get most of the settings changed over and then I’ll fine tune it over the coming week. If anything major goes wrong I’ll have […]
Introduction I use two RC305 receivers connected to a diversity controller in my FPV ground station. This was connected using a cable of about 1.5 meters with 4 RCA connectors and a few DC power connectors. After a while the RCA connector become loose and I don’t trust them. So […]
