Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Another 30Km flight

[David Conger]

Wow, 30Km, that's awesome!
Which autopilot was it? I wonder if the Tiny13 would be less affected by the 3W 
RF Tx in the aircraft. 
I may get one of those video tx as my 500mW 900mHz one from Range Video is 
awful. Only maybe .1Km range before static.
