Does this look ok for antenna placement? Is it too close to the VTX/OSD/Antenna?

Not had chance to test fly yet but range test on micro power mode seemed great. Think the VTX is going to be limit for distance but is this generally "ok"?

Personally it looks a bit close but if your micro mode range test checks with the vtx powered up then ti should be ok.

Yeah ,bit close for me too.
You could try to fit your VTX on wing ?

I like to keep everything in this pod sort of style to make it easier to swap around but maybe i will have a rethink and re jig .

It's not the UHF stuff Im talking about. It's the camera/OSD/Vtx

ok so leave the pod intact and move your rx and antenna away if you can

Cheers. I will have a rethink tonight.thought about trailing edge but that's right next to the motor risking electrical interference and the antenna getting mashed by the prop.
