Optima Receiver Antenna Placement

[CSpaced]

I installed a Hitec Optima 9 channel receiver in my X-Spec, and realized I had to find two suitable locations for the two BODA antennas. I looked around the web for some photos of other peoples installations, but couldn't really find anything suitable. So after staring at my heli for longer than I care to admit, I finally decided on the locations.

Attached are a few photos showing what I came up with.

Looks good Cracky

Put a 7 channel in my Aeolus 50. Going to put a 9 channel in my Trex 700 LE fbl next week.

There you go, worked this time......

So what ya think, I was kinds worried about placing the Boda's so close to the carbon frames on the Trex600 and worried about close location of the regulator in the Sceadu 50 ??

I think they look fine, the problem is there are only so many places where you can attach the antennas. This looks as good a place as any others I've seen.

Thanks CSpaced.

We'll see how they are once I'm able to get to the field......

Did you get a chance to test it out yet?
