| JHP is correct about the antenna lenght, DO NOT CUT IT, the antenna is part of the first tuned circuit of your reciever. I know thats a bit dramatic but if you consider that an actual resonant antenna at 35Mhz is long enough for fly by wire three feet is a tiny proportion and reliant on the RX tuned circuits to work at all.
This compromise is in part also overcome by the small distances that we put between tx and rx, usually a few hundreds of yards at best and even less for most heli pilots.
I have some of my antenna tied to the tail fin with an elastic band, nearly all pass through the outer of a cotroll snake that is fixed to the skids, scale is a different issue as there are usually loads of places that you can hide the wire.
What ever you do, don't forget to do the necassary range test at your flying site. it will save you from looking silly and make flying safer.
Happy Landings |
