Installing the Receiver
Install the receiver in the normal position recommended by the airplane’s
manufacturer. Double-sided tape or foam can be used to secure the receiver
in place.
TIP: The hard case can be removed to help the AR10100T fit into a slim,
carbon fuselage. It is recommended to cover the bare receiver in heat
shrink.
Mounting the Antennas
To install the antennas, drill two 1/16-inch holes in the desired antenna mount-
ing positions.
Slide the feeder antennas through the holes until the 31mm tip, and about
2mm of coaxial, completely exit the fuselage. Use adrop of CA or tape to fix
the antenna to the fuselage.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the 31mm active portion of each antenna tip is
fully exposed.
TIP: Use the optional (sold separately) Antenna Exit Guides to safely mount
the antennas outside of the fuselage.
IMPORTANT: If the antenna is to be mounted internally (in the front of
a2.4GHz fuse), the coaxial can be taped into position. Ensure the 31mm tip
is located at least 2 inches from any significant metal or carbon structure.
Check that at least one
antenna will always be in
the RF visual line of sight
of the transmitter (e.g. not
blocked by carbon fiber
structures) in all attitudes.
This can easily be visualized
by having a helper stand
about 20 feet away and rotate the airplane in all attitudes, confirming that there
is a direct line between you and at least one receiver antenna that isn’t blocked
by carbon fiber structure.
