I had the same results from mine today. Then I took a 24"
piece of wire and stuffed it into the antenna hole and it lit up all the
channels in use all over the field.

Question for those of you who have cross tail Graphites (sailplane
version, no EP version): Are the rudder and elevator servos typically
mounted in the tail, or forward in the equipment pod? If you've ever
seen this thing, you will know that it is not a straight line to the

In todays world of synth radios and exchangeable TX modules, this practice is
not reliable either. The only certain way to determine what channel someone is

they change modules, like wise it is easy to forget

Oscillating frequencies (when two pilots stand close together with antennas

Since all you had to do was add servos, there must have been time after supper
