Reciver placement

[Westwind]

Almost completed my fun cub build and I have a question about the reciver placment. I have it mounted inside the plane on the wall near the battery door, with the antenna going out the door and along the fuselage. but I have the ECS mounted on the opposite wall about 3/4 of an inch away. Wil this cause radio interference with the reciver.

truth...it may interfear but we cant always place our rx's away from other componets. just look at the cramped quarters for the pkj,i'v had no issues with tx to rx and can't change it anyway. do a nice long walk from the cub for a range check...if alls well,enjoy!! if any glitching rework the rx
s location.

you didn't say if this was 2.4. you don't need to expose the antennas to use 2.4.

If you're on 2.4, here's a nice video:

Spektrum Correct Antennae Placement

It's for their AR600, but I think is a good general guide as well.

I'am putting together a funcub also but my reciever is going in the bottom rear air exaust hole where they show it. Its about the only way for me to hook every thing up after the fuse sides are glued together.What kind of reciever are you using. joe

My reciever has a sat port so I have the sat receiver mounted into the hole the the bottom of the plane and the main receiver is connected and sitting in the top hole right under the wing. I don't have it mounted to anythung as the servo wires keep it right where I want it.

I have a 9 volt battey on the flour just infront of the hole in the bottom to run my lights. I'm using a spectrum ar600. Did not want the reciver there as I will be fling of the water in the summer abd did not want the reciver close to the edger
