Hey all,

I am putting together a fusion 90arf and was looking for ideas on where would a good place to mount the primary and secondary receiver?

Any input much appreciated.

Many have used the spektrums and the most common setup I've seen is one rx in the hatch area between the ribs withthe antenna running parallel to the wings (i.e. sticking out both sides) and the other rx double sided taped to the side of the fuse just above the wing (on the outside of course).

I put the remote receiver in the forward cut-out (ahead of the wing tube). You can fish the lead through easy enough, and I sandwiched the remote RX between a couple small pieces of thin latex foam. The remote receiver antenna is oriented vertically in the forward cutout, and the main receiver is oriented horizontally in the aft cutout.

It was a bit of a PITA to decide what to do initially, but all said, and done....it's worked quite well.

If you don't NEED to take the airplane apart for transport at the end of the day....then it'd be a simple matter of plopping everything in one of the wings and that would work just as well I'm sure.
