Output the hud display to a fpv glasses

Is there a way to output the hud display to a Fatshark FPV display? If so how would one go about doing this. It would be great to use the HUD display rather than a separate OSD.Continue

Jittery Servos

I have a Zephyr II that I am unable to fly due to the servos jittering. I have read several articles about moving the down link transmitter, but it would be difficult to do as I have cut the transmitter into the wing. Another suggestion was to use an opto coupler, however I haven't been able to get one from the Diy store or anywhere else. Does anyone know where that I could purchase one? If not is there another fix?See More

"I attached log file of my Zephyr flying with the parameters given in my above post. Nav pitch and energy parameters may be lowered a bit. I tried several cruise speeds among which 15 m/s fitted best for autopilot. However at FBW it flies with slower…"

"Flew my ZII with default parameters. On automode it flew a bit fast for my taste. Reducing the throttle to 35% for automode made it more reasonable for the test area."

"Thank you for your reply. I am building a Zephyr II. I just wanted a good place to start when I flew it the first time. Tell me about how yours flies. Thanks again, Clyde Fussell"

"First file is for my homebuild Zephyr's (153 cm wing, 2200 g TOW) parameters. Second file is my new plane's parameters. New plane is similar to Zephyr but flys slower (180 cm wing, 2200 g TOW)."

"You should have an adapter with the laptop. eg s-video to rca. Just plug the goggles into the adapter and setup multiple displays in windows."

"I have a laptop that supports tv out. So what procedure would I use to get the HUD only display to the second display, or Fatshark as the case may be? Thanks for your prompt response."
