Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Protocol for the downlink

[Gareth Roberts]

We used to do a lot of FPV flying - you still need a battery, the 
receiver, aerial and if you want to record you need something like an 
Archos anyway. 
The video link is going to go way before the datalink anyway if your 
setup is anything like ours :).  What we do now is mirror the screen to 
the s-video port of the laptop and then plug video-goggles in - maybe 
this would be better for you?  This way you get all the recording stuff, 
and others can also watch on the laptop screen.
If you do still decide to go the aircraft route though, good luck!
