Range testing with the engine running gives you the maximum adverse condition you can get without actually flying. That's what you want so that you get a good idea of your system's operation.

I'm not sure what tray system you're going to use but this should not pose a difficulty for you. The antenna on the TM-14 module is designed to pass between the transmitter's carrying handle and the rear of the transmitter.

Max-

Not a problem at all. We'll answer as much as we can. We'll try to fill everyone in over the weekend as well.

BTW, have you found a place in Toledo for some of the walking tacos yet? They were pretty tasty in Iowa...

See you in T-town!

What will it co$t? Module prices too.
Prices, prices, prices please!!!!

[Uh_Oh!]

Will the replacement module system for my 9C require me to remove the existing antenna?

Thanks...

Here's a Photoshop job I found on another site. Shows what the 14MZ module might look like. Seems like it will be fine in a tray.

Pricing is not available at this time. We'll get something updated as soon as we can though.

Hi, Dave-

The TM-series modules will not utilize the existing antennas. All RF will be transmitted through the built-in antenna on the module.

Mark,

Thanks for the quick answer. I should've asked the question a little differently. Will the existing telescopic antenna in my 9C cause any problems if left in place and collapsed with the TM's transmission? Any shading or weird RF/range issues in this configuration?

I've got a bunch of 72mhz Rx's and this would make it easier to flip flop between them. Just pop out the TM 2.4 module and pop in my 72mhz synth module and go fly. That would be cool....

Thanks again...

Dave
