Range for JR radio
Can anyone tell me what the range would be for flying a twinjet with a JR x-378 PPM radio. I have a brushless setup, and this plane is up and away so fast. Thanks.

RE: Range for JR radio
the range is more a function of the RECEIVER, not so much the transmitter. This transmitter is probably good for thousands of feet with a good receiver. What receiver are you using?

RE: Range for JR radio
A properly tuned/tweeked transmitter can EASILY go 1 mile. The receiver and placement of the antenna are the keys to range. It is a good idea to get the receivers tweeked to a specific channel if you are looking for the ultimate range and interference rejection. Most receivers these days will give the range as part of the specs...if not, contact the manufacturer...they'll tell you.

RE: Range for JR radio
The biggest factor in range is how far away can you see the attitude and direction of the plane. Since most radios are good for farther than the visible range, there's no problem. If you cannot see the plane, you are not in control.
