thank you Sir, you should make pepper box next for the 1.3 ;D. even im planning to make cl and spw for 1.3 once i reach bangalore.

Its on the cards, both pepper box and Gatling Antenna. I will make them as and when I reach the required range of flying for those antennas. I need to make models which can out reach those antennas before that.  :)

Apart from the RF cable used, everything else on the antenna are scrap, recovered materials.

Even Chinese Chops sticks came real handy  ;D

That's also a 900Mhz Band FPV Receiver old version from Rangevideo.

Nothing fancy it has additional provision to monitor all four channels of 900 Mhz, switching in a loop in a fixed interval of time set, like a security Cam monitor.

Some day I will dump that and go for all band latest receivers covering 900, 1200, 1300 and additional freq in Mhz band with saw filter.  :)

I have lot of questions :D

You have mentioned something about eagle eyes. i was reading about it yesterday and its used for telemetry/OSD (am i correct)

i am going to use MegaPilot NG on MWC AIO Pro v2.0 with 433Mhz Telemetry radio and MinimOSD so would i need that eagle eyes?

Eagle Eyes is an antenna tracker and diversity to be used only with Eagle tree OSD. If you are using a 433 Telemetry then you can get telemetry directly at the PC and track directly on any Compatible GCS GUI Software with full telemetry.

I am planning to use mission planner on my tablet or a laptop.

So in that case i would be not require those eagle eye thing right?

I am not sure if Mission Planner is compatible with Multiwii. Multiwii has its own GUI Software. Yes you will not require Eagle eyes ( Cannot be used) with either of the setup.  

Eagle tree and Eagle eye setup uses the video signal to superimpose the Telemetry data on the same, which is separated at the Eagle eye apart from doing other features like video Diversity, antenna tracking, recording of telemetry and interface for PC GCS.

Mission Planner is not compatible with MWC but it is compatible with MegaPirateNG which we can load in MWC AIO controller.
