fly boy3 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hi,All, a club member has completed a1/4 scale Chipmunk covered in solartex and painted in aluminium coloured paint. For max.signal strength, where should his receiver (2.4Mhz) be mounted in the fuz.. With 35Mhz he had the ariel out side the fuz. Thank you FB3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly boy3 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Good Idea Martin, would you know it metallic type paint on a model, is detrimental to a good signal, or in my friend worry ing over nothing. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Haven't tried it myself but there is thought to be a distinct possibility of shielding from metallic paints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
