Yes, it has been tested in numerous aircraft and types. The receiver is mounted as we recommend, with the second receiver mounted at least 2 inches away from the main receiver and 90 degrees to it.

Sorry, but your reply didn't really answer my question.
What carbon and kevlar sailplane was the radio tested in? I would like to understand how the receiver was mounted in a modern, all composite, four servo wing, sailplane with carbon and kevlar construction.
I'm not trying to put Horizon on the spot. I just haven't heard of any thermal duration pilots using the DX 7

I tried a DX7 in a Kennedy Ava, which has Carbon Weave in the fuse. I could not get any good range checks at all, for what its worth.
I have not had any luck with other RXs in the Ava unless the antenna is run outside the fuse. I run JR 790 Scan selects and have had the plane well over 1500 feet with no problems.

As I stated it has been tested in numerous aircraft and types, I don't have a list of the exact airplanes and set ups that it has been used in. But it has been tested in composite sailplanes with excellent results.
