Flite Test - FPV Antennas - FLITE TIP

[gewizz2]

pay pal took 300$ out my bank account. wow dont trust PP with your bank.

[FritzBakon]

Where can I buy these antennas?

[tomtom4867]

do we know if there is a link to make those circular polarized 'patch' type antennas?

thanks

[ColSharprazor]

What a nerd looking guest

[dailyrcupdateSponsor]

He has an accent

[cod4madass]

could you use a splitter on the patch antenna's? if you could, would it be possible to make a 4 antenna rig the covers the whole 360 ?

[LilPutter]

Josh was like. . . Uhmmm, Huhh?  RMAO @ Josh

[ox141jf]

hi could you get adam to do a vid on how to make the clover and 4 leaf tx and rx antenna???

i know there is online tut but they are all text and photos

[Migueldeservantes]

Hey David, Do you think that you can take the time and post a short video of what are the correct sizes for the Polarized antenna! at 5.8 GHz ?? I have only 5.8 and 2.4 GHz, and the antennas that you sited are on different frequencies than the most popular! thanks!

[fred7555]

Great video, but I wish you guys would turn down the background music a little. My A D D can't keep up!

[FlyHighRC386]

if i have a right hand Polarization antenna on my plane do i need a right hand polarization on my receiver or a left hand one???? PLEASE HELP LOL

[FlyHighRC386]

if i have a right hand Polarization antenna on my plane do i need a right hand polarization on my receiver or a left hand one???? PLEASE HELP LOL

[shebotnov]

haha josh looks clueless :DD

[sshukri0]

Does anyone know the link to the thread on RC-Groups they spoke of? More specifically how to make your own circular polarized antennas for 900MHz.

Thanks in advance,

sshukri0

[psygn0sis]

BTW: Never.... EVER...... EVER..... Believe anything from a person trying to sell you something!

[Ekasx2]

Is anywhere plans for 2.4ghz pin-wheel?

[GeepeeEs]

Hi there, Can you please post the link for the modded 900mhz antenna mod? please, i tried to pull out the rubber part of the one i have right now and i think i broke it, i thought this antennas are like 2.4ghz ones, u can ditch the plastic part. so please post the link, i am using the antenna that came with 1500mw 900mhz hobbyking fpv kit.

[MrFraglerocker]

hahaha,little josh"s face seems to say what are these guys talking about,lol

[CNChobbycutting]

This is EXACTLY why I went with Davids Design, and the kk board. This guy is a tricopter Icon.

If your making his plans on his site ( I call it the Windestal Tri) , and want a cnc cut body email me here on youtube, and have it cnc cut to spec.

saves you time and its designed by the best!!

[klerkan]

Exactly!!!

[manuelbeltranmeza]

Muy interesante.

[gittarpikk]

Thanks guys for the mention of IBCRAZY on rcgroups...he IS a really nice guy who has done a lot of hard work bringing up the bar on FPV antennas...His threads are worth their weight in gold....Spend time there...read them all...they are well worth your time if you want to get into this FPV phenomenon.

[richardbenko1]

Thanks guys !

Yes I know not many people have knowledge about "how this suffs is working"-

most people they know only how to switch on and off - and thats all....

So that's why there is a big thanks for videos like this !!!

I know this is really just a "surface" but better than nothing...

we need more fpv videos !!!!

Thanks again...

[mmerry2]

Great tips! Can you supply a link to the HK Bixler glider you mention at the end of your video?

[flitetest]

@mmerry2 Absolutely! There is a Link to The Bixler Plane in the description!

[rcflyboynj]

@flitetest So what is the best frequency to use here in the US? I could fly R/C with 72mhz or 2.4 ghz, so I am pondering between 900 mhz or 2.4 ghz for the AV link.

[shbib]

2:47 "normal things don't fly" - love it :-)

[knudball]

Great video.

[zombienumber13]

great video guys, i'll have to incorperate these ideas into my fpv build

[robinno78]

How do you make a cloverleaf antenna?

[OY8716]

I like this video!

But do you have a link to where I can learn how to build the antennas myself?

[MrFlench]

Thanks for the info .

[liambowers666]

Thankyou so much! This has helped me a lot! Keep up the good work guys and please more FPV!

[greenrolaids]

I liked this video alot..

and when my mom came into my room... she thought i was watching porn because i was fully erect..

[windytech]

Keep the awesome vids coming guys!

[Shawnee845]

Hey Guys

So you will have to do your video transmitter-review one more time with different antenna.

[vkumar95aviator]

One suggestion guys, you might wanna use simple sketches or simple animations to illustrate whatever you are trying to explain because like me, there quite a bunch of young aeromodellers out there and they may not have studied electrical yet so they might not be able to visualize and grasp what you are trying to explain.... the visual illustrations would help a lot. Thumbs up if you agree.

[bicyclemonkey]

Where did you guys get that awesome workbench in the background?

[MrJohn1966elliott]

What about Model Airplane's antenna ? I don't understand, I'm deaf model airplane.

What he say ?  I don't know about this. Which one is best performance for FPV antenna ?

[yiancar]

josh plz stop through " all and all" at about the same time in every vid :)

[lewandlo]

Ok now that we got the polarization thingy out of the way .Which is the cheapest and which has the best reception? heheheh Oh Josh you got that? Your face was twisted more than that little butterfly antenna. I`m sure you understood all what he said. HEheheh

[prydin]

Josh rolling his eyes when David and the other Josh nerds out is priceless! You're the best show on the web! Keep it up!

[bladelba]

David, I noticed that weird looking antenna on your tricopter long time ago. So that was experiment to test circular polarization! Great! And in this video those circular polarized receiver antennas are great! Does it requires any special equipment to build those antennas?

[dadde87]

@bladelba Nope not really. There quite easy to build and only require some wire, sheet metal, and know how. Guide coming soon

/David - RCExplorer

[LeGaminfly]

nice flite tip!

[magicmike1122]

Would have been cool if you guys did a comparison between the antennas.

[antsp1]

For these types of videos you really need an animator.

[CAGreve1231]

I see my Vee, Skew-planar wheel and helical made the cut. Now you need some flight footage... and an SWR bridge.

[urnzwayzmoove]

I like how you give previews of the next episode!

[easycretor]

Thanks for the video on antenna keep it up

[gigabytex64]

Hey poor josh looks so lost dave and bixler (hope i spelt his last name right) you guys need to make iteasier for noobs as its a complex issue.

[freemarlochip]

These antennas are also good to increase range on your Wi-Fi to steal it from your neighbours

[erikdravn]

Great video as always!

[tonykortas]

hehe I love the look on Josh's face. He's like wtf! stop already!

[lolergramCCCP]

What materials can you use for the antenna?

[dadde87]

@lolergramCCCP 0.8mm copper coated MIG welding wire is what I use. It holds it's shape really good and is easy to work with.

/David - RCExplorer

[vanepico]

RC explorer guy! yay! I take it info on making the antennas is on his website?

[chochmah]

Very good Video! From the informationcontent one of your best, imho

[marx19891]

I like the next episode feature in the end,good informative episode with clear instructions.

[420choky]

i had clear picture 5 miles 3500 ft up with 2.4 immerson .. duo 2400 .. 24 dbi hyper gain dish antenna and 14 dbi patch antenna .. this just confused the heck out of me

[RIPcombat]

Good stuff very nice easy to understand. I would like to see more videos like this

[daveyedgar]

Great vid! so how 'bout vids on how to make them or at least where to buy them

[rcsupercarz]

so you would want a 4 leaf clover antena and the circular polerized antena? also cant wait to see the bixler plane!

[dadde87]

@rcsupercarz The Cloverleaf antenna is circular polarized. You can you two of them for a omnidirectional setup or you can use the helical on the receiver to have a directional setup.

[rcsupercarz]

@dadde87 still confused

[realtvnow]

Awesome Tutorial Guys!!!!!!!

Glad you gave credit to Alex a.k.a. Ibcrazy:)

Suggestion: maybe put FPV somewhere in the video title:)

[flitetest]

@realtvnow Thank you very much for the suggestion! We added FPV in the Title! We are always open to suggestions.

[realtvnow]

@flitetest Thanks you guys:)

[godofarchitecture]

Great episode! Also very cool that you mentioned that they are IBCrazys antenna designs.

[TheKrazydreams]

more fpv
