Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Use magnetometer or not for an, airplane?

Hi.
It will fly with 0.5W at 2.35Ghz (the antenna is tuned there) and if it 
proves to be suitable for the job
then i will mount two high F/B ratio directional antennas at the wing 
tips each covering 180 degrees, driven with 5 to 25W @ 2.35 ghz 
(variable power) and switched according to the aircraft orientation  
with a RF switch.
I decided to go this route because with tis antenna arrangement rf 
spillover to the fuselage will be minimal and there will be no blind spots.
I hope the airplane will survive it's first auto2 flight so i can report 
back something :-)
