Does the second transmitter need the antenae up or even on? There a several transmittors on the auction site, and I starting to wish I kept a transmitter to buddy box my kids on or 4H project. Your thoughts.

Thanks

Jim

According to Futaba's 7C manual here's what they say ( I imagine it's similar for any system):

-Never Use the Student Transmitter Power
-Always set the Student Transmitter modulation to PPM (if using conventional system)
-Be sure the student and instructor transmitters have identical trim settings and control motions. Verify by switching back and forth while moving the control sticks.

-Fully extend the instructor's antenna. Collapse the student antenna (if using a conventional system)
[/b]-Always remove the student transmitter RF module(if using a conventional system)
