●

Try to achieve as much separation of the VTx and R/C receiver as possible to lower the RF noise floor

and EMI interference.

●

Do not buy the cheapest equipment unless it is proven to work reliably (e.g. parts falling off, multitudes

of bug fix firmware updates, community hacks and mods are a good indicator of poor quality and

something you do NOT want to buy for a safe system). Do due diligence and some research before

sending your aircraft skyward.
