Hello-

I am trying to mount a Spektrum AR6200 receiver into my Hangar 9 j-3 cub pnp, but I am having difficulty deciding the best way to mount the receiver. I have never had a remote receiver before. Can anyone provide a visual as to how I should mount the receiver inside my plane? I am assuming that I still wrap the main receiver in foam and secure it inside the fuselage with hook and loop material correct?

You want the two receivers to have their antennas oriented 90 degrees to each other.

If one antenna is horizontal, mount the other vertically.

The two stubs form one antenna in each casing.

Try to mount them as far apart as the provided wire permits, and DO NOT unwind the twist.

This permits each receiver to "see" a slightly different reception pattern, giving you better overall reception.


Don't wrap the receiver in foam. Instead use a piece of servo foam tape, or a small square of foam under the receiver, and affix it with a wire tie, or hook and loop, velcro, etc.

Wrapping the receiver in foam does not permit adecuate cooling airflow on most 2.4gHz...

Thanks for you help!
