Well, for me the 5v system is beneficial since not only can one power source operate both the camera I already have (CX-161 CCD) and the BlackwidowAV system I just ordered, but 5v means more options. Standard rx pack will power the system. 2 cell Li-Poly pack with a 5v regulator will power the system and weigh very little.
I can stick the one system on various planes from slope glider, 2 meter glider, park flyer and even on something wild like my Uproar.
The 200mw system I just bought is also very tiny and I have great hopes for it. I am also dying to see how the 2.4ghz stuff works with either the GPP antenna or possibly the factory patch antenna he sells. If I can do a snap roll and hold the signal, I will be In Like Flint.

You make a good point. Note to self: Keep antennas straight and change aluminum gear to non-metal gear. I didn't think of that. Definately need my plane to be my antennas friend. Can you tell me why the 5 volt system is beneficial?
