TPU and Antennas

Posted by John Cotterill on

Many if not most of you have now seen the youtube video by painless 360, if not, go have a quick look then come back here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JZJ9X4eYvA What Painless360 asserts in this video is that TPU shifts the frequency of your video output akin to picking up R5 on F4. However, his assertion is false and the interpretation that it is of a significant impact or that it justifies a stop in use of TPU as an antenna mount is also false.What the data is really showing is a shift in the tune of the antenna.

Vale Nemesis

Posted by John Cotterill on

There comes a time when you have to look at a frame and determine that ultimately it's never going to be a success. That time has come for the Nemesis. When I designed the nemesis, it was off the back of a successful rub-out of Franken frames and the nemesis made a whole lot of sense, it used the existing parts I already had and a new pod design.
