flying RTL-SDR RPi

[Alex Fraser]

I've seen that mod on the web somewhere. Probably for proof of concept 
I'll try the stock antenna and stay close.  The Pi 0 2w seems like it 
might be worth buying if I can find a place that has it in stock!  I 
stared work on a mounting plate to attach with the little rubber 
vibration dampers, also I'm working on a way to get power off the main 
battery. For the power tap I'll browse through the Phantom forums to 
make sure I don't spike the main board (Houston we have a problem...).
