Well, I'd say thats very unlikely as range has remained great with Synergy and with Astral in its previous layout. For the tx to go at exactly the same time I mod the elevators I'd say is unlikely, but admittedly possible. Would of been interesting to try a different tx but there was only one 10x out with us.

As I said in the first post, with the aerial outside I only got an extra ten paces, not surprising really as the aerial is still close to the wires. I didn't try it along the wing. When u start doing that you may as well just go the whole hog and get a whip aerial. Basically I think the wires are too long (which can be shortened) + ferrite rings would prob help. Wires are actually about 1.4m I worked out. Synergy is less than a meter which may explain the difference.
