ORIGINAL: allena99 In recent years, I have run all my antennas inside the fuselage, allowing the excess to trail. But, recently we had a problem with the new Twist 60 with short range check and servo twitching. We traced the problem to the antenna being routed through the fuselage in close proximity to the very long servo extensions needed to reach the rear-mounted rudder and elevator servos. Pulling the antenna out and routing it outside solved the problem.
One thing I want to remind everyone of with respect to long servo leads is to twist the bundle along its length as many times as you can. This creates a magnetic helix "shield" around the wiring which not only keeps emi, it keeps emi within the bundle "field". The standard wire antenna should be fine if it is kept away from the spiral bundle and any down stream battery packs you might have placed into the system in parallel. Always range check on the ground before you start your flying day...assume nothing from the day before.
