    Mikrokopter Power cable routing & affect on Nav board

    It's a shame he never repeated the test with the cables twisted together? But its scarey to think that there is no way of escaping the magnetic influence of electricity...I don't know if placing a metal sheild over the FC board & everything below; just leaving the navi & gps outside the metal...
