For improving reception you can solder the antenna to a steel wire, d=0,3mm, which you fix at the end of the wing and let stand out to the back about 10-15cm. Always TEST THE RECEPTION on ground before you fly! www.pcm.at...
Do control surfaces move in the correct direction? Check the greatest swings 3. Check reception: Leave the antenna inside the radio control and go away from the glider up to a distance of about 60m. The control surfaces should not tremble. www.pcm.at...
