ORIGINAL: gkpain My question is does it matter how close the battery is to the receiver when they are install in an airplane? Should a divider of some kind be used if they are mounted side by side? If so what kind of divider? Thanks for everyones input.
1. Petrol engine?
2. Glow fuel engine?
3. EP?
For 1 and 3 keep battery and especially EP connectors as far away as possible.
Standard with petril engines and older ignition systems was to also wrap TX battery in aluminium foil. EP battery connectors are a prime sourve of interference.
For 2. Problems seldom reported of both separately wrapped in foam anti vibration rubber - keeps them far enough apart.
