Hi Bill. How do you suggest doing a range check? I got a chance to go out to the field today and try running the engines with the transmitter away from my DC-3 "I wanted to try it without the new cable". I still had the engines going to idle even at a distance. I don't know why but I had allot of interferance in my radio today. At 45 paces and antena down I had all control surfaces chattering/moving about 1/4". This went away with the antenna up. At 200 paces the chattering was pretty bad antena down. Put the antenna up and it goes away. I still haven't gotten the cable but that's ok - mail here can be slow. Allot of my taxi problems are better with the engines in sync. The model loves to weather vane into a cross wind but a few times the wind was down the centerline and I had smooth high speed taxi.
Well thanks for any insight into proper range check procedures.
