X4R & XD9 plus - expected altitude?
Posted: Thu Dec 29, 2016 5:46 pm
Just started flying a big floater e glider - getting to 130m altitude and "Low RSSI" warnings.
That's not very high - my old Futaba FM 8UA on same plane would speck out with no loss of control.
I have the Rx on one side of a 2" wide fuse with the last 2.5" of both antennas poking out the sides at 90deg to each other, in plastic straws, angled back 45deg to fuse.
What are peeps getting for typical sailplane altitudes?
(And, supplementary qu; when "Range" is selected, how far should the Rx be from the Tx to get a reading? What's a good reading at that range?)
Thanks for any assistance.
