Have our FPV prayers been answered ?

Well may be not full but Hugo goes some way towards that goal

Some members will know Hugo off rcg who between him and alex AKA IBcrazy have brought antennas to the forefront of everyone's attention no longer leaving us scratching our heads .
 These guy's didn't re-invent the wheel they just made it simple and easy to understand and then ADDED a sprinkle of imagination 

Check out the link above i'm sure you will find some new and intresting designs

So Dave what do ya know about the fan and windmill? Im interested, are these better than the clove & skew?

[jiberjaber]

Yes - I am interested in these too.  They seem to be more angular than the CL and SKP so perhaps a little easier to build. ?

I dont recall seeing them else where on the net other than a few FPV retail sites.

There's a few variations on antenna on RCG... check out the Turbine for example LOL




Turbing destructions here, apparently the frequency is dependant not just on the dimensions but the wire dia too.

They are not the same BUT work the same is a quote i shall nick from markus 

When you have two of the best guys around on RCG singing nothing but high praise to Hugo on his version of the antenna's then you know your onto a winner

If as i suspect his work is anything like markus123456 then these things will be every bit as good as they look as the gear i got off markus was top notch but it's nice to see just how the pro's do it and how their  stuff is so neat and well made
 Watch this space as they say as i have just put an order in with Hugo and will post up the pics as soon as they arrive
