RE: Help with Futaba Range check
We have had some guys at our flying site off load their gear and put there plane or jet together in the pits next to their car or truck. They then try to do a range check with everything right there in the pits and then can't figure out why they can't get 40 ft of range. You have to make sure your aircraft is away from the cars/trucks and other items like metal canopy's/EZ Ups to do a proper range check. As soon as they move the plane out into the taxi way and away from the heavy metal, then they get good range checks. If your in an area that has hydrants and metal street lights with your aircraft in the driveway next to the car, you won't get a very good range check. Just a suggeston.
Very nice looking jet!
