RE: Terrible range check...please help!
Well, I had decided that my problem had to be local interference basically, but that's not the case. I flew yesterday from a very isolated spot miles away from civilization with no electric lines, cell phone service, radio signals, towers, etc. Same problem; severe servo twitching at less then 20 feet, followed by the servos locking at their extremes and no control at all at about 25 feet range check. It has got to be the carbon fiber in this plane. To recap: this is happening with two different transmitters, and three different receivers on two different channels. I finally got a somewhat acceptable range check by stringing the antenna completely outside the plane running along the wing. I stuck the antenna there with tape and flew the plane with no further problems.
The good news is... This is a super great airplane!! Katana Mini. Wow. I love it!! It's even better than my 72" wingspan GSP Katana gasser!
