Yagi Antenna Finished

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 […]

Yagi Antenna for Lost Model Tracking

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.
