I was told at the flying field that I may need to go to a PCM radio in order to safely fly the Cap due to RF that the engine (Fuji) may put out due to the EI? Any thoughts? I have a 6ch JRSport FM......Anyone having problems with FM?
ricomary,
I never have used a PCM radio for my gas powered planes. Bubagates is right in that one must get rid of the cause of any RF interference before spending money in expensive electronics. Only time I was hit by RF noise was due to a loose spark plug vibrating and causing arcing that went right to the receiver.
I use an EDM EDR-111 Pow'R Bus Pro on most of my giant scale planes mostly for my own peace of mind. That's because the EDR-111 provides buffering and amplification to prevent noise and loss of signal when you are using very long servo lines and to isolate the power source from the receiver and servos. That's a personal choice, not in any way mandatory, as long as you don't have any source of RF interference.
