Status: offline 		Has anyone used the bobbin on which 18 inches of antenna can be wound that Hitec supplies with their receiver? Is it only for park flyer use or for a "full range" type of plane?

Status: offline 		It has been my experience that using the full available length of any antenna wire gives your receiver the best chance for the most optimal performance. But a lot of radio performance also has to do with the trasmitting power of the tx, and fresh batteries there can overcome a lot of things. Thatbeing said, I've used bobbins or other antenna-shortening routes over the years but only under the auspices of knowing it could affect range. That leaves it up to a test-and-tune sort of thing only the user knows for sure.
