Doug Burkett commented on Hugues's blog post HOW TO - Xuav Talon build (part 3) : internal bay components planning & installation
"Your position of the second antenna of your receiver are you sure the radiation pattern during a bank is going to improve your reception?  A normal dipole type would be better if it was also 90 degrees to line of flight wouldn't it?"
