How's that DIY Cloverleaf work?  5.8?

I bought most of the equipment used, but the cloverleaf is originally from ReadymadeRC, I think. It is 5.8gHz, I have done only one day of flying so far, and have gone a few hundred meters with it, without problems. A bit of video flicker when going directly over the base station, as expected.

I'm planning on building one from the plans posted by the guy who made yours... Glad to hear it works.  Are you running one on your receiver side too?

There is a matching 4-element antenna that I'm running on the receiver side. I'm using a diversity setup where one side is the circular-polarized antenna, and the other side is a directional linear one.
