Futaba FASST receiver aerials

[dennisp]

There is an excellent insite to the correct positioning of the two aerials of the Futaba FASST receivers, for those using Futaba 2.4GHZ FASST receivers I would suggest that you should try to comply with the knowledge in this thread.

Thanks for the link Sir.
To be on the safe side, I guess will have to re-arrange my F-5E rx's antenna.

90 degrees on my F-18.

So does any of your receivers have a DOT


The dot is on the RX case near the aerial outlets. (Gold or white)
The dotted rx’s have been tested independently on another site to over 100C they also draw less current.
From what I am ready else where recent USA deliveries to customers have been dotted. Eventually all will be dotted.

It should be remembered that the issue with high temps only affected a very small number of people flying in extreme temps.

With regards to the conflict in the instructions. I believe Bob is correct, however, I mount my rx’s on Velcro or harder foam pads.

And if you are not sure how to mount the receiver then...

And those with the quest for speed......., qte from thread in relation Mr Woody's loss of 2 jet models

Does anyone have info on the new rx. 6014HS (HS for high speed)? It has a normal 6014FS mode, analog or digital servo on any ch, with 14ms frame rate or HS mode using only digital servos on ch 1-6 and any type on remainder. The HS frame rate is given as 7ms but not sure if this just first 6 or what? No mention of any xmtr software changes required. Temperature specked at 60C (140F) operating. No output signal voltages (2.7 vs 3.0) mentioned.

Full thread can be found here... be warned it has an awful lot of pages (76)...!!
