RE: Futaba 9zap W2 range check
I did some tests in my street today. There were some cars parked nearby and the model was on my front lawn, tail on to me, RX antenna inside the model.
With the first (thick) section of the antenna only extended. I got over 100 good size paces(approx 100 yards), with no evidence of the servos stuttering. I could not go any further in the street.
That is good enough for me. I use this as my baseline.
Thanks for all the responses.
