I have been using the Futaba 2.4 FASST system all year. I have been very pleased with it's performance. Never having to wait for a frequency to be clear so you can run your boat is a great feature.

You guys running/leaving the rx antenna inside the hull or you need to run it outside the hull?

Reason why I ask is that I use FASST 2.4 on Airplanes/Jets and Helis; I leave the antenna inside the fuselage and it works great!

Thanks for your help!

Its very very short so I think youd be ok, I had an antenna mount so I put mine in it, but its only maybe 2 inches long if that, once it gets through the radio box and out of the hull thats all thats left

I run my antennas through a short tube that exits the radio box. However, on my tunnel boats I place the cowling over the radio box so the antenna is under the cowling.
