Hi Matt- I’m running a Futaba system through a Powerbox Royal, so there are two receivers. One is located towards the front of the plane forward of the cockpit but low, kind of by the nose gear door. The other is behind the cockpit and up high. Both receivers are mounted right on the side of the plane (not on internal structures or built up mounts). I have not had any problems with getting a signal. The Royal allows you to check missed frames, fades, and holds and I have not had any issues with them.
