Hey Bugman... well.. I am more of a Structures/Aero guy! I have been getting all of my info from here..
http://www.hamtv.com/pdf.files/R-C.pdf. I intend to shield my Rx with the installed band pass filter. You have any experiance with this? I am intending to use FUTABA PCM ham-band Rx as well.. I have 72 mhz if that is better. I will be doing initial range tests on the ground to get warm fuzzies, and my first flights will be with a tired $89.00 ARF trainer and an old motor. I will setup "FAIL-SAFE" to shut off Vid-Tx if should FS be invoked. But this is all new stuff to me too... I have flown models since 1972, but this new stuff... and electronics is all voodoo and magic!!! Any feel as to how sensitive to damage this is without tuning antenna? I can Calc-Out the exact element length for the Tx antenna, but I have no meter to check the SWR's.
