    Transmitter's Antenna As with all radio frequency transmissions, the strongest area of signal transmission is from the sides of the transmitter's antenna. As such, the antenna should not be pointed directly at the model. If your flying style creates this situation, easily move the antenna to correct this situation. Rotating antenna The antenna can be rotated 90 degrees and angles 90 degrees.
