Here is the deal. I have a plane that is about 15 lbs 4 oz. and has a wing of 1032 square. That puts me at 32oz per square. The CG is to far back by 3/8". I do not want to add lead to it to put the CG right on. what I can do is move my Rx pack to the front of the plane. but I have CH ignition on it and my Rx battery pack will be about 6" from the CH module. The Rx is about 14" from it.

What do you think about this. Will it work or will I have trouble with glitches?

Thanks
Paul.

I have made a shield out of Aluminum foil and 1/8" plywood.

Glue the foil to the plywood and mount it so any interferance, raido waves, do not have a line of sight
from the battery and the Rx.

Also 4.8 volts gives off less RF than 6.0 volts.

This has worked for me, but you will have to try it to see if it works for you.

My sons balsa usa DVIII hs a homy 30cc in it.Ihad to move the battery pack right behind the firewall to balance.I was getting glitches,i then took some aluminum foil and just wrapped the battery with it and it stopped.I also wound the foil down the battery leads abouyt a foot.This is with a stock mag ign.

I don't get any glitches and my battery pack is within 1" of the CH box. Both the ign pack and the radio pack and receivers are right together and right beside the module but this is with a Spektrum radio. I have three planes with the receivers less than 2" away from the ign module and the one plane with the battery packs near as well. None of them glitch at all. Again that is with a Spektrum. My G26 powered, CH ignitioned, Spacewalker was on 72 MHz before I bought the Spektrum and the receiver and one pack were within 2", at that time, of the module also without ever having a glitch. The radio was a 7C Futaba on channel 22 and it was a PCM receiver.

Careful here.... The 2.4 ghz system is a whole different deal, and doesn't glitch under circumstances that would make a 72 mhz system go nuts. Also, your PCM system might have been masking any glitches. It is recommended when flying gas engines on 72 mhz that you test for glitches in the PPM mode before trusting the model to use in PCM mode. The PCM mode can mask glitches so that one thinks there is no problem, right up until the glitching becomes more serious, the PCM locks into failsafe, and bye bye model.

Best to wrap things in foil, and then do a very careful range check at various throttle settings and see what happens. If it fails the range check, do not fly it; it won't "get better" in the air.

Losing a model to a radio problem is a sad thing. My brother just lost his 80" Ryan's Rebel with a Ryobi to a radio problem. Bummer!

I lost one last year from gliching. It sucked. what I did was just add the weight to the nose to get the CG right. I am going to take the plane up and see what it is going to do. i have a lot of people telling me that it will be fine and a lot telling me that it is not going to fly at all. I think I will find out what it will do this weekend if it dont rain...

I will let you all know.

thanks
