Radio range check
Hello,
I’m walking away from my airplane when the Tx antenna is fully folded and both Tx and Rx are on.
I did it on the ground with engine running.
At the distance 200 feet mark the servos are jittering, they stop jittering at 170 feet.
The Rx antenna is running inside nyrod and fuselage with holes covered with monokote.
The Rx antenna is completely out about 4 inches long when its not inside a nyrod.
I flew it like this many times, there is no range issues or influences when the antenna is out, even when I hardly see the airplane.
The radio is tower hobbies 6XM similar to Futaba 6EXA that somebody has at the field, at least visually identical, except that on the tower 6XM the Tx antenna looks thiner.
Questions:
Is it passing range test?
Should I just continue to enjoy my radio?
Should I send it for inspection?
Thanks
Alex
