"Hi Tridge. I have purchased the 900mhz 3DR telemetry kit.  Are you recommending that you add the filter to the telemetry aerial set up on the plane? (ground side as well?) or to the FPV kit? Thanks"

"I'm working on something related; stay tuned. In the meantime, try adding a loiter_turn with 2-8 turns and your target altitude a couple of waypoints before your landing."
