Default RE: Internal antenna or whip?

Hi Tor

I do not think that any of us like external antennae on any model but they work. I flew a friends CARF Eurosport this weekend with his aerial routed through the fuse. My Euro runs a whip. We flew his far away with no glitches or lock-ups that we could notice. You also need to take into account which turbine controller you are using. His Euro has a Jetcat 120 in it. I know that not all controllers are as friendly to our receivers! Remember the ECU is a speed controller varying the voltage to the pump and the pump is a normal brushed motor causing sparks and therefore noise-yes they do have suppressors(capacitors) on them to reduce the arcing.

Would I consider running my aerial inside a turbine jet - NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I lost my first Hotspot without any good reason. Cannot afford to take any chances with these wonderful beasts!

Good luck
