Receiver Installation
Install the main receiver using the same method you would use to install a conventional receiver in your aircraft.
Typically, wrap the main receiver in protective foam and fasten it in place using rubber bands or Velcro straps.
Alternately, in electric models or helicopters, it’s acceptable to use thick double-sided foam tape to fasten the
main receiver in place.
Mounting the remote receiver in a slightly different location, even just inches away from the primary receiver,
gives tremendous improvements in path diversity. Essentially, each receiver sees a different RF environment and
this is key to maintaining a solid RF link, even in aircraft that have substantial conductive materials (i.e. larger
gas engines, carbon fiber, pipes, etc.), which can attenuate the signal.
Using servo tape, mount the remote receiver keeping the remote antennas at least 2” away from the primary
antenna. Ideally, the antennas will be oriented perpendicularly to each other, however, we’ve found this to not be
critical. In airplanes, we’ve found it best to mount the primary receiver in the center of the fuselage on the servo
tray and to mount the remote receiver to the side of the fuselage or in the turtle deck.
