b) Mounting the Receiver
Installation of the receiver depends on the model. For this reason, you should always follow the recommendations of
the model manufacturer regarding the installation.
Regardless of the model, you should always try to install the receiver so that it is protected from dust, dirt, moisture,
heat and vibration in the best possible way.
Keep enough distance from motors and electronic flight or speed controllers. Metal or carbon parts have a shielding
effect and thus may considerably impair reception. In this case, it is sensible to relocate the aerials outwards through
a bore in the fuselage.
Two-sided adhesive foam (servo tape) or rubber rings that hold the foam-wrapped receiver securely in place are
suitable for fastening.
Attention!
The length of the two aerials (1) is determined
precisely. For this reason, you must not bend
or cut off the aerials or the aerial lines.
This would decrease the range significantly
and thus pose a considerable safety risk.
Important!
The receiver has two separate HF-receiver
parts that are equipped with a receiver aerial
each.
To achieve the maximum possible recep-
tion line, the two aerials must be placed at a
90°-angle to each other (see figure 6).
It is not relevant if one aerial is placed to the
right and the other up or one to the left and the
other down. It is only important that the two
aerials are at a 90° angle to each other.
