Last week I provided some results from my install of a Spektrum 9 Ch receiver in a carbon Pike Perfect. It was not what I had hoped for.
Today I tested a modified set-up with one of the main receiver antenna's going out the bottom of the Pike fuselage and the other sticking vertically through the canopy. The remote receivers were still sticking horizontally through the canopy as shown in the pictures in the following RCGroups thread. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=825409 Flight #1 9.5 minutes 80 frame losses, no holds Flight #2 10 minutes 40 frame losses, no holds Flight # 3 12 minutes 21 frame losses, no holds The interesting thing is that on the last flight I bent the remote antennas in a slow arc, one forward and one aft. The fades on the remote went from 455 and 295 on the first 2 flights to 48 on the third. I also made one flight with my 2.4 friendly Supra. The data for that flight was as follows. 8 minute flight time - 57 fades, 0 holds. It looks to me like the all carbon Perfect is performing just as well as the 2.4 friendly Supra, especially when you normalize for flight time. Bruce T.
