Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I have had many RCs throughout my life, aircraft and cars. I am excited to build an FPV UAV. I have purchased a Hobby King Sky Eye. It's in the mail now. I realized that none of the hobby-level video xmit systems utilize FHSS. I found your site while looking for that. THANK YOU FOR A GREAT SITE!

"Thank you so much Joshua! I still have to look into features and services for each provider but you have forged me ahead! I'll keep y'all posted.

"Thank you Bill and Steven!

"Thank you Steven. But I guess my plain sight is lacking.
I have read the MP Wiki and indeed went back to it at your inspiration.
