While the above Standard Range Testing procedure is recommended 

for most sport aircraft, for sophisticated aircraft that contain significant 

amounts of conductive materials (i.e. turbine powered jets, some types of 

scale aircraft, aircraft with carbon fuselages, etc.), the following advanced 

range check will confirm that all internal and remote receivers are 

operating optimally and that the installation (position of the receivers) is 

optimized for the specific aircraft. This Advanced Range Check allows the 

RF performance of each remote receiver to be evaluated and to optimize the 

locations of each individual remote receiver.

Advanced Range Testing

1.  Plug a Flight Log (optional) into the data port in the PowerSafe and turn 

on the system (Tx and Rx).

2.  Advance the Flight Log until frame losses are displayed by pressing the 

button on the Flight Log.

3. Have a helper hold your aircraft while he observes the Flight Log data.

4.  Standing 30 paces away from the model, face the model with the 

transmitter in your normal flying position and depress and hold the bind 

button on the back of the transmitter. This causes reduced power output 

from the transmitter. 

5.  Have your helper position the model in various orientations (nose up, 

nose down, nose toward the Tx, nose away from the Tx, etc.) while 

your helper watches the Flight Log noting any correlation between 

the aircrafts orientation and frame losses. Do this for 1 minute. The 

timer on the transmitter can be used here. For giant-scale aircraft it’s 

recommended that the airplane be tipped up on its nose and rotated 360 

degrees for one minute then the data recorded. Next place the airplane 

on its wheels and do a second test rotating the aircraft in all directions 

for one minute.

6.  After one minute release the bind button. A successful range check 

will have less that ten recorded frame losses. Scrolling the Flight 

Log through the antenna fades (A, B, L, R) allows you to evaluate 

the performance of each receiver. Antenna fades should be relatively 

uniform. If a specific antenna is experiencing a high degree of fades then 

that antenna should be moved to a different location. 

7. A successful advanced test will yield the following:

 

H- 0 holds

 

F- less than 10 frame losses

 

 A, B, R, L- Frame losses will typically be less than 100. It’s 

important to compare the relative frame losses and if a particular 

receiver has a significantly higher frame loss value (2 to 3X) 

then the test should be redone and if the same results occur, 

move the offending receiver to a different location.
