FPV issue

Ok so I have the range video 1.3G fpv system. I started off putting it in a wild hawk (easystar clone) with 2.4G radio gear. It crashed when I added the fpv gear and powered it up. I thought the vid tx and the plane rx were too close so I built a new plane based onTims boombox. This gave me more than 15" of separation between tx and rxPlane flew great till I added the vid tx and again short range issues and it crashed. I got the 1.3G system since it's supposed to work with 2.4G radios. Anyone have any suggestions?Jon

  • Firstly always do range checks with and without the video tx switched on, a good system will show little difference.

    I would also switch the R/C rx, which are you using? can you switch to 72mhz maybe?

    How powerful is the video TX?

    The video TX could be introducing noise many ways, twisting all cables, adding chokes & having neat organised cabling always helps.

    I could possibly be more help if I could see some pics :)
