"Thanks Dusan,  Have or on ordered almost most of the kit you suggested. Thanks very much to DIY drones etc.

"Tridge,  would any of these aerials make an easy and useful upgrade to the stock units?  I need to ship the filter to Aus anyway, might as well stock up the parcel!

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"

"Hi Brian,  a couple of quick comments:
a) the elastic band does not need a hole. You can pull it through the wing slot. It is a little annoying but far less than when your plane falls out of the sky!  Eventually after the plane has seen better days,…"
