In the rush to find a quad, check for damage and declare "All good, let's fly", don't be an idiot like me and miss small details like "hey where's that funny shaped thing that used to stick out of the back"

So my VTX was not only powered on for a good few minutes while I found my quad, but I then went for a fly with it as well. I'm surprised it works at all - just how well it does work I'll figure out later - as I say, happily it doesn't need multiple km of range, just a few 100m. But if it's bad, at least eh prices of VTX's aren't so bad to stomach any more.

Thanks to Rod and Jinx for their excellent finding skills of locating what is essentially a black stick in a massive field of long grass in failing like. Great work lads.
