I post this question to my fellow electric flyers because the explanations I have seen on the dedicated website don't solve my problem. I fly only electrics and only helicopters. My current sport machine is a Minicopter Joker CX. The machine is composed totally of carbon fibre. It runs on 30 Nicad CP2400 cells powering an Actro outrunner brushless motor through a Kohler speed controller and V3 control panel, which acts as a governor. My radio is a Futaba 8UHFS with an R127DF receiver and a Futaba GY401 heading-hold gyro. My speed controller and receiver battery are at the front of the ship and the receiver and gyro are in the rear, well separated by the motor, rotor and gear transmision. This aircraft uses a belt driven tail rotor, and this may be the root of my problem with the carbon fibre tail boom. I used to have the antenna wire running straight out the back of the frame and tied by rubber band to the bottom of the vertical fin, nice and neat and perfectly in line with the tailboom. When the ship lifted off and hovered for a short time, I would get a "hiccup" where the ship would twitch as though getting an extraneous radio glitch. It would jump up about a foot and then return to normal. Then this would occur again 3 or 4 times per flight. I tried to duplicate it on the ground but could not. Only when she lifts off. Then I tried letting the antenna wire hang out the back loosely dangling its full length beneath the machine. I stretch it out full length alongside the ship on the ground before takeoff. This has all but solved the problem. Perhaps a minor "hiccup" once in awhile. If the machine lands with the antenna stretched in line with the tail boom, I will get twitching again. The explanation given on the dedicated Joker website is that the tailrotor drive belt creates static electricity within the carbon fiber tailboom which periodically discharges and gives a radio interference glitch. It doesn't happen on the ground because the static discharge goes harmlessly to ground. The tail boom is grounded by a lead from the boom to the frame to complete the ground circuit. I really dislike having the antenna hanging loose beneath the aircraft while she's airborne. Not only it is unsightly, but it could get blown up into the main or tail rotor and then I'm really in trouble. Does this make sense to anyone out there? The only suggested solution I haven't tried is wrapping my receiver in aluminum foil. I don't like that idea because I prefer my receiver to have as much cooling airflow as possible.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I feel that only electric flyers could appreciate a problem like this. Thanks for any and all replies.
