I know one thing. I just recently installed a 5500 and a seperation kit with 4
ft. seperation between rotors. I calibrated both rotors at north/zero degrees
and installed the antennas. With the antennas mounted and elevation moved to 45
degrees, the antennas moved down 45 degrees towards ground. No matter how I
installed the antennas they always elevated downward. I know I wired it right.
I stood on a ladder for 10 minutes looking and just staring wondering what was
wrong or what I did. I finally positioned the elevation rotor 180 degrees
around the mast, duh. There may be a reason for showing the setup picture such
as it is.
Have fun,
