FPV Testing: Flying some different antennas through the woods
129A simple premise. We fly through a wooded area using different antennas and diversity configurations to see what performs, and what doesn't.
What did you think of the results - please let me know. This really only tests one aspect of the antennas - the gain, so I'm keen to try flying in different environments to see how things may change again.
Thanks to all the guys that were kind enough to supply me with some bits to use in my testing (no affiliate links here, just regular ones)
