Built a Skew Planar and Cloverleaf Antenna for my 900Mhz FPV Setup
I was flying in an industrial are the other day with my FPV setup and even when the picture was clear it would go all rainbow colored which was very distracting, additionally my range seemed to be shortened quite a bit.

I have wanted to get into multicopter building and flying for a few years now but this year I finally took the dive and got into it pretty quickly. I did a lot of reading and shopping for which flight controller to purchase and while I would like to experiment with the open source software […]
