Don't you lose GPS signal by obstructing the antenna directly in front of the battery?

Awesome idea. Just wondering how long the paper will last. Maybe 20 uses?

No time at all. I let it fly a mile out during the first flight.

Maybe you lack video decoder/codecs on your computer. Can you upload it to Dropbox?
