General Engine Electronics Question
 

Folks,

I am almost finish with my CA extra with a Taurus 52 engine. DUe to cg issues, I would like to move my servoes and batteries forward. I have notice in a lot of setups that the receiver electronics and engine electronics are almost side. I understand that this interference issues are not so much of a problem anymore. Is this true for all engines? Or is it only true for some?

My new setup will probably place the receiver batteries almost beside the ignition battery. ALso will be moving the receiver and throttle servo closer forwrd to (about 6-8 in from ignition electronics). Is this advisable?

Thanks

Azhar

All I can say is I have had nothing but RF interference problems lately. It sure has not gone away for me.
Most European engines I have seen lately come with a resistor spark plug and have a fully shielded spark plug lead. Thats bound to be better than the typical Asian magneto engine that has only a resistor spark plug.
All the experts advise that you should keep your receiver and its components 12" away from the ignition components so the answer to your last question is no its not advisable. I expect you will probably get away with it though.
