[NSRCA-discussion] Question about 2.4 receiver installation

[Archie Stafford]

Just follow the instructions that come with it.  Don't' have it laying on
carbon or anything, but being under a carbon canopy isn't a problem.  I have
been flying the 2.4 Futaba stuff in my Black magic with the carbon canopy
with no problems.  Just make sure the antennae are 90 degrees to each other
as shown in the instructions and go fly.  I converted all of my 40% stuff,
my pattern stuff and everything else and have had zero problems.

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Question about 2.4 receiver installation

 

Well, the list has been really slow, so I figured I would pose a question. I
just ordered my first 2.4 GHz system (Futaba 10C) and wanted to get
suggestions for receiver installation. Are there any do's or don't's when it
comes to position, antenna orientation, etc? The first airplane I will be
using this is will be an all-wood airplane (a one-of-a-kind Bryan Hebert
design... OK, to be honest there are 2 of them, but this is the only one
that ever flew). I've read bits and pieces here and there about the 2.4
systems not liking carbon fiber (or maybe I was taking the comments wrong?)
or potential interference resulting from the interaction between the two.
Anyway, any input will be helpful, and I'm not in love with the 2.4
revolution yet so any negative comments will not be met with resistance.
