Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I usually fly RC helis, but multirotors are a good complementarity for stable flight, cameras, missions, etc.

Hi All, Any experience, advice for robust video link that will be used through buildings / concrete?Repeater? 900MHz?, etc. It doesn't need to be high def at all...  Analig would be fine. Regards  pturcotte

But S900 has been on my table for a week at…"
