Default RE: Terrible range check...please help!

Hi,

What plane have you got and are there any carbon rods in it. Im having an almost identical problem with a foamy I just put together.I cant put the aerial any where near the plane or it glitches wildly from any more than about 8 feet away,If I hold the aerial up away from the plane its perfect.I too have tried multiple receivers (all brands) two different TX's, four sets of crystals, three different modulators and eliminating other components one by one. I dont know if there are different grades of carbon or not and if some interfere more than others or not but a friend has a shocky with carbon all over it and his aerial 5mm away from a carbon control rod with no probs. I think next I'll try a new plane, Ive replaced everything else[:@]

Cheers

Weedy
