I set up an Allegro, magnet wire antenna run external to the boom - loose wraps back to the rudder.
I have since seen some erratic flying; hard down when it's headed directly at me (from a turn, not far out). I've not had the problems at distance, but more like a quarter mile out, under 500 feet. Saved it both times, maybe by turning the tranny to a 1o o'clock position. Looking thru the archives here (and the Allegro group), I've seen some discussion on this. Any thoughts? Could the boom still be "casting a shadow" here? I had assumed that getting outside of boom would help, and that going around it would expose the antenna from all directions - now I'm not so sure. I'm considering running directly back to the rudder, maybe just to isolate this. Thoughts? Thanks, Brent RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
