I've recently upgraded the antenna's on my Typhoon H (Yuneec External Antenna Kit for Typhoon H, & Pro Upgrade Kit) (and ST16: ITELITE DBS Upgrade for Yuneec Typhoon H, Tornado H920L, ST16, ST24 Radio) and after the first few flights, I noticed that there was still some slight 'glitching' with the video, even at close distances of less than 50m. Nothing really bad, but I am fussy about this stuff.
After some thought, I decided to go back to the H and dismantle it again so I could get a look at the wiring. My idea was to put some copper shielding between the battery and the antenna cables, and to also re-route the antenna wire on the right side (facing the front of the H). This is also the same side as the radio module and this is where I think that people are having some issues when the landing gear is raised or dropped.
Finished product now has the copper shield in place which should negate any possible RF issues between the battery and the antenna wires and I have now re-routed the antenna wire on the right side (same side as the radio module) so that it is as far away as possible to the landing gear mechanism.
I plan to head out over the next few days and test this to see if there are any noticeable differences.
Hope this may help other members out there in some way.
Pics attached to hopefully show what I am talking about.
Bottom cover removed to show the existing array. Note the radio module on the left of the image, which is the right hand side when upright and facing forward.
With the bottom cover removed, you can see that the left side antenna wire goes across the base of the battery tray.
Copper shield attached.
Inside the battery tray, showing the shield.
