Great idea for a handy little tool... One thing though. Your offset V antenna that you showed. You simply soldered the ground to what was in effect, a ground on a sleeved dipole. To make a true offset V antenna you would need to ditch the sleeved (ground) portion and use only the 120 degree offset part..... Or am I wrong?
Thank you very much for releasing the STL (though I bought mine from you, as my 3D printer is out of comission). What are the advantages and disadvantages of the offset V antenna - other than getting snagged on things, of course!
Greg, that is so generous of you - thank you so much! One question, though, I have always understood the calculation worked out to 12.92mm - your tool makes an element which is significantly less than that. Is that on purpose or am I screwing up on my 3D printer scale?
Did you find the answer to this question? I have the same question. I printed this guide out and it's much shorter than what calculations show for 5.8ghz.
Haha that's awesome. I love messing around making antennas. Anyone watching, check out Andrew McNeil a channel. He makes all kinds for FPV etc. Great stuff MenaceRC!

Thanks Menace for this amazing little tool😎👍
Got the tool now and a bandicoot... I only fly with omni antennas now... Nice one Greg 😉
That's a great tool :) thanks for sharing!

Your a star making this works well on me whoop
I take it you could use a linear like this soldered to an SMA connector as a little omni paired with a Bandicoot on a diversity module?

@@lincolnwilcox did you make the antenna on 11.7mm? how did it work on that lenght?
Thanks for this! Can you use the same tool to produce an RP-SMA for goggles too? Or am I better off just taking an old WiFi router antenna off?!
Awesome! Referred by painless360!
Awesome vid thanks very much 👌
How do you influence dBi on linear antennas like this?
Or do linear antennas like thisone just all have a similar dBi rating?
Great tool :)
Would it be possible to make a 2.4 ghz version for fixing antennas on RXs?
Hi Antti, were already working on some 2.4ghz, so will make sure we make another tool for the RXs antenna's
@@MenaceRC Badly wishing to have instructions on how to build a 2.4ghz one; just the lengths would be fine, I can measure myself..
Whats the offset V antenna purpose?
What kind of vector analyzer did you use in this video ?
Simply awesome ;)
Thank you!
Thanks or this! Great :)
Hm... Bandicoot? Tell me more, please.
I noticed that too!
Its a new antenna that works really well at receiving linear antenna's I will put some info up about it soon
