Default RE: Gazaur Mars 480

Well I finally put the whip antenna on my receiver and it didnt help. I even changed the crystal to eliminate that. Its a Futaba R168DF. Even with the whip antenna once you get about 40 or more feet if you so much as just touch the antenna with the tip of your finger it will go crazy. I checked the tower hobbies receiver in my plane again and it does pretty good and doesnt go crazy when you touch the antenna. My pcm receiver does fine. What do you guys use as a rule of thumb on range checking with antenna down on how many feet is acceptable. I guess I will just have to buy another receiver. The receiver isnt that old maybe barely over 2 years. In the pics is the white silicon looking stuff normal.
