Notes on Receiver Selection
One critical parameter to keep to a minimum in a race quad setup is latency. Latency from what the
camera sees to the display device, and also from the control stick to the flight controller.
For minimum latency, with reasonable range, the Spektrum™ radios and satellite receivers are a great
choice. Another good (and quite common) choice is the FrSky Taranis radio with a matched S-Bus
receiver (X4R for example).
For longer-range FPV, the EzUHF system is a good choice. Due to the close proximity of the electronics
and Video Transmitter on a mini-quad, and the lack of a suitable ground-plane, a diversity receiver, with
dipole antennas is highly recommended.
Note: An update to all existing EzUHF systems will be available early Dec. 2015, which will enable an S-Bus
output, as opposed to the more traditional PPM. This will greatly reduce latency.
