I did a Range Check today before the first flight test of my Euro Sport. Radio is a 10X with synth module and a Scan Select R2000 reciever. Revelution Whip antenna. Range with the Antenna off was only about 60 feet. In other airplanes I could walk over 120 feet and never lose range. Does this seem short? The manal says install antenna but NOT to extend it. I always have heard that on the TX for the range check you should remove the Antenna?

Any help here is greatly appreciated..

Thanks, Dennis

P.S. no flight was made today!
