instructions: 
1. The two antennas must be kept as straight 
as possible. Otherwise it will reduce the 
effective range. 
2. The two antennas should be placed at 90 
degrees to each other. 
  This is not a critical figure, but the most 
important thing is to keep the antennas 
away from each other as much as possible. 
  Larger models can have large metal 
objects that can attenuate the RF signal. In 
this case the antennas should be placed 
at both sides of the model. Then the best

attitude. 
3. The antennas must be kept away from 
conductive materials, such as metal, 
carbon and fuel tank by at least a half 
inch. The coaxial part of the antennas does 
not need to follow these guidelines, but do 
not bend it in a tight radius. 
4. Keep the antennas away from the motor, 
ESC, and other noise sources as much as 
possible. 
*The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other.
