Hello, im have a problem getting a proper range check with my radio system. I have a Futaba 9c (dont say it im not switching brands after 20 years, I do like their sevos though lol) the receiver is a 9 channel brand new less than 6 months old. receiver is at least 12!QUOT! away from fuel pump, solenoids and ecu. The antenna is run on the opposite side of all the servos leads and goes out the bottom of the fuse then run along a wing leading edge. With the Tx antenna collapsed I get about 45 paces with the turbine not running. Just a side note if I get a little too far away from the model with the tx annt collapsed and deflect the elevators, ( they are on separate channels 2 and 8) the one on channel 2 will deflect before the ch 8 one deflects. I dont know why this is happening. Some one told me channel 2 and 5 only for a two servo set up.

Back to the main problem, when I run the turbine up and do a range check I can only get about 10 paces away before I have absolutely no radio contact. One step in it works, one step out it doesnt. Im going to try a base loaded anntenna now. any suggestions thanks in advance John
