Using a (DIY) parabolic reflector behind a cloverleaf antenna will increase the cloverleaf antenna's distance.

I saw a video on Youtube (still looking for it; I'll post it when I find it) that shows viewers how to builld a parabo

Hi all - I'm hoping some experienced eyes can help me diagnose the root cause of unscripted spiral flying that eventually led to a crash while on a simple mission in auto flight mode.
This is the 4th mission this quad has flown, and the ~25th flight.

At the moment I'm flying a f550 with NAZAv2 & GPS. Thinking of switching to APM instead as there have been quite a few odd crashes on all DJI fc platforms recently. I assume I just need the 2.6 with GPS and possibly the power module? Tha

Just looking for a bit of confirmation - every take off is fraught with problems, with wild pitching one way or the other (it's mostly to the left, it should be noted). I often need to put in a bit of stick to get it in the air.
