It is possible that the additional processing power of the OP OSD will allow a multi headed version of the software to offer the RTH function as discussed in this thread:

Of course this is only conjecture at this point

I know that Nick_A has done exactly this for his FPV stuff. He uses a magnet and fuel tube combo for vibration isolation. It's pretty slick and it flies just fine with it.
Yeap i use them with no ill effect on the CopterControl that i can discern.
I like this over velcro for a couple of reasons, it always returns to the same position/orientation every time, in a hard collision the camera vTx and CL antenna are ejected and the power connector pops off easily (This has been tested quite extensively...), and it is very easy to transition between LOS and FPV.
It may not be the solution for everyone but it fit the frame and my needs better than velcro and i really liked the results, i would take some photos but i am out of country currently.

There are a few threads like that, planes, heli and Multis; all RC aircraft need serious respect. The easy thing that James does when messing with new code etc is throw a towel over his machines, not everyone is going to remove props especially once they are balanced however, a bath towel takes seconds to put over the multirotor and could save some nasty injuries.
ridiculously simple, I will be adding a bath towel to the tool box

Well, I guess what I need/want to know is, the 59.965 length ends, 1/4 the wavelength, is the goal to have them TOUCH at the ends, at a 105 degree radius? Or is the goal to have a perfect tangent arc, and have them spaced apart? Below is an image of both, maintaining a 105 degree angle.
I just want to make sure I make them right... All measurements are based to form the total wirelength im suppose to cut.

According to his build, he very clearly shows them spaced in post 5 for the single lob (per his instructions base fed antenna uses three single lobs) the geometry video show a projected angle of 110 degrees which roughly equates to lobe angle of 105, see attached. additionally he bends twice at 90 degs before the arc and it is therefore tangential to the arc
