Hi Bob,
The guys have installed the WSI receiver in the new XL demo plane
and are having reception problems. You have had good luck with the
system and I am curious as to how & where you mounted the antenna.
My take is to mount it to a large ground plane above the machinery
atop the canard. This should give us about 2.5 square feet of plane
and hopefully fix the problem, the ground plane they have now is
about 4" x 12" on top of the canard and amongst the servo motors...
What are you feelings/comments?
Many Thanks & Fly Safe,
Wayne Lanza
P.S. Do you know any of these guys?
