My crash
Want to see if anybody can shed some light here. I had three successful flights on my SPAD Debonair using Futaba gear- R127 Rx and a 6EXA Tx. Then I broke the dowel on the stabilizer that the antenna was mounted to so I redid it on the rudder coming from the side. We range checked it then took it up and lost radio contact just as my trainer turned it away from us. The whole flight was 30 seconds tops.
The only change was in the routing of my antenna, but it did pass the range test. It was bent some when I put the wing on- could that be a factor? Does the antenna need to be pulled straight outside the plane or does it really matter? Maybe there is something else you guys know about that I haven't thought of yet.
