Installing a Spektrum DX6
I am just getting back into the hobby after being out for 12 years and had some questions concerning radio installation. I have a DX6 that I am going to install in a Great Planes PT-60 and was wondering if anyone had pictures of a radio install in one of your planes. Also, I had some questions I was hoping someone could answer.
Q: Do you have to use a remote antenna? I saw some receivers had one included, but the one I purchased did not.
Q: Does the battery and switch harness hook up the same way as back in the 72Mhz days?
Q: There is a long antenna and a short antenna on the receiver, what is the best orientation for these? Do they have to stick out of the plane?
Q: What servos are compatible with Spektrum radios? For the PT-60 I intend to use just standard servos.
Q: Does anyone sell a flight pack any more that includes servos, receiver battery and switch?
I have been searching google and youtube for typical 2.4ghz installations, but only have found info for electrics and BNF planes.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
