receiver placement?
I'm installing an AR7000 2.4. Is it ok to mount the main receiver close to the battery,,about 11/2 inches away,or will this cause some kind of interference. I can mount it a little higher,with the same distance. Just want to be sure,this is my first encounter with a 2.4. I have the remote mounted to the side of the fuse, 8inches away.
Thx guys--TAZZZZ

I think it's not quite as problematic as some of the manufacturers want you to believe. I think they say allot of what they do say, so that someone doesn't do something like, mount the receiver to the battery pack "piggy-back style" and then wonder why it doesn't work right.

I have a JR x9303 2.4 and have been using it for about 9 years.
first the rx should be away from all elect, engines, motors wiring. They are line of site and anything in the way will cut down on reception.
I like to have mine back away from the servos etc. if it has a second ant. I put the rx on one side of the fuse with the little ant's horz and the second one vert. you get a better signal.
mine like the 5 cell better, the higher voltage works better.
its a whole new thing and the learning curve is there.
I have never lost a plane due to radio problems. I can't say I have not lost a plane!
also the 2.4 RX units don't like heat, try and keep your planes in the shade if you can.
