Real credit goes to top TD pilot Keith F. for coming up with simplicity itself for canopy style carbon fuses. Pikes, etc. One remote, both in the nose, no mods...and the Flight Log results were never over 70 (that means next to perfect, numbers in the 300's don't affect a flight, I know I flew a different system which produced those numbers with out noticing a glitch). My main RX is forward of the servos, battery in front of that in the nose. I have two whiskers sticking out each lower side of the nose, not the bottom with short extentions shrink wrapped to the original whiskers so that I ended up with both showing 31mm outside the fuse side. The remote is two way taped to the top of the canopy, right against the spring wire that holds the canopy in., about at the half way point. Its stock whiskers are sticking thru holes in each side of the carbon canopy near the top. This set up is the real thing. One really good thing is that you can see each RX at a glance when you turn on. I noticed that there is a protocol to follow for turning on.
Turn on the TX first, then the RX. IF you happen to shut off power to the RXs only, then its important to turn off the TX, then back on before turning on the RX power. Without following that protocol, the Remote RX would flash its light. So always power off the TX and power it back on before powering the RX again. Just something I noticed, no mention of it in the manual. Ground range was over 150', numbers were under 40. Walked behind three big pine trees, never getting more than 50' from the Pike, with the range test button depressed, numbers stayed under 150 but again no Holds. Can any of you guys post what kind of numbers you are seeing with a 2.4 friendly fuse plane? It rained and was cold here most of the day but got sunny and about 65 later, so I went to the clubhouse, released Little Lee from the closet we keep in stored in so that I'd have some help with my test. The kid is an amazing pilot, he was tossing his Blaster2 most of the nite. Did tests on the Don Barker Sputnik Style Defense Ngainst Nose Cone Carbon Fuses too, but with different wire etc than he used. More on that later. I am going to change out my modified system to one just like his to compare Flight Log results. Gordy **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.
