"Please drop the 1w vTx. Especially since you are going 433 for control. You don't want to desensitize the receiver or pubnish the other electronics with that much power. You want range worked out on the ground - not in the air. What kind of ranges…"

"This was ALMOST a great thread. The reality however, is that it makes nothing more than a smudge campaign. If it was really about safety - or HIL then it would be each contestant posting 1 of their real flights, and then posting their simulated…"
