Default RE: Where is the receiver antenna?

If you have long leads to servos in the tail, you need to separate the internal antenna and the leads. I've seen three instances (including my own where I nearly lost a plane) of interference problems when the leads and antenna were left loose. In all cases the problems were cured by putting the leads in a tube at the top or bottom of the fuse and the antenna in a tube on the opposite side.

If the leads are very long, as in a pattern plane, use heavy duty, name brand lead extensions.
