Doug Ireland Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hi Guys, I need a bit of advice.I've tried to shoehorn the two rx units into the airframe and this is the only was it will go. I can't install the Remote rx at 90 degrees to the main as the antennae are too long to go span-wise. Will this be OK? The rx is the one that came with the DSX9Cheers,Doug.

Ultymate Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Doug as I understand it the two receivers are best at 90 degrees to each other but not necessarily at 90 degrees to the fuselage so maybe you could mount one on the diagonal and the other at 90 degrees on the other diagonal if that makes sense. P.S. Glad I fly Futaba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winchweight Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Looking at your picture, I think you could rotate the remote aerial through 90 degrees so the aerials go up and down the fuselage side, overlapping the throttle linkage. If this is still a bit tight, what's above the radio bay? If it's a cockpit, could you put the remote aerial in here and thread the cable through into the battery bay? Or put a hole through and thread one of the aerials into it, leaving the remainder in the bay at 90 degrees to the present position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Ireland Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hi Shaun, your ideas were brilliant! I can move the throttle snake over closer to the centre of the fuselage and turn the remote rx 90 degrees. This would mean making a small hole in the underside of the wing to accommodate one of the aerials as the wiring harness between the two rx devices is too short to mount the remote in the cockpit.. I was thinking of using a short piece of fuel tubing to protect it. Thanks again,Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Lambert Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Varying length extension leads are available, they are the same as the Spektrum ones.Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkman Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 couldn't you just put the remote rx on the bulkhead? aerials up and down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Ireland Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hi Yorkman,The fuselage isn't deep enough so I've made a small hole in the center section of the wing and stuck a piece of snake outer in it for one of the areials on the remote rx to stick through. I'll post a picture of it when I get back from digging oil out of the ground! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
