I am building a phase 3 f-16 and there is not alot of room for the rx. I need to know if the antenna portion can be mounted with the lipo setting right on top of it. Mounting the 2 antennae at a right angle from each other is proving to be difficult due to the limited space available. I can put the end of the antennae in a plastic tube, or fuel tubing, but the battery would still be right on top of it.

What I have done is to drill two holes right into the foam fuselage and slip the antennas into them

Yeah, that's what I did with the Diablo when I put in the RX. See the attached picture. By the way, the position of the RX next to the ESC is the way it came. I simply removed the 72 MHz RX and put in the Spektrum RX.

A Question along the same lines ,I have a Futaba 2.4 and my mates got a Spectrum how do we go re the buddy cord with the Futaba being the master and the Spectrum being the Pupil ,What changes have to made, Thats the first part ,,,,
The second part is I,m on mode 1 and he.s Mode 2 will they work together ???

Can you buddy box a Futaba with a Spektrum?

Part 1 of your question. Use this trainer cord from Horizon. [link]http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=HAN173[/link] . It allows you to use a Futaba as the master and a Spektrum/JR as the slave radio.

Part 2. Both radios will need to be in the same Mode for Training.

He'll also need http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...?ProdID=HAN174 to match the Futaba buddy jack. I still don't promise that it will work satisfactorily but worth a try?
