RE: Glitches, help needed
Whether 38 paces is OK depends on the number of paces when the engine is off. See the story below lifted from [link=http://www.jrradios.com/Articles/Article.aspx?ArticleID=1079&Page=7]JR radio range check[/link]
"Lucky save
A fellow giant scale flyer, with a spark ignition system, was noticing that his model was occasionally "not locked in". We did a range test with his 8103, antenna off and he had 121 feet- not too bad for conditions. With the engine running, he got only 38- one-third his regular range. Looking at his installation, he had a number of Giant Scale "no-no's"... his throttle servo was located in close proximity to his ignition system, plus his throttle pushrod was metal - both great ways to play havoc with your radio. Even though he'd had several successful flights, he wisely quit flying for the day. A re-routing of equipment brought his engine-on range to within 10% of engine off."
As noted in previous posting, the off-pace number should be about 38/0.9 = 43 paces. Beyond that, the problem still exists.
