Jason, finished building a Cross Hair FPV Ground station and the idea was to test its performance as compared to the Helical. This video was videoed on the same day as the 3k flight I did with the Bixler, so once again no OSD video due to SD Card not working in my Sandisk DVR. Our expectation were pretty high but unfortunately it didn't come close to the Helical. At one point around the 8klm mark, it became apparent that Jason's Helical which was on our Ground Station was doing way better and he ended up swapping over to the Helical.
Understand this doesn't prove the Helical is a better antenna or anything like that. Its just sharing our findings on this one flight and sharing what we learn.
