Re: Smiley Rubber Duck
It's strange because after reading all the threads on RCU I came to the conclusion that they work just fine. Tony Stillman even endorses them (the Smiley one).
But I never did find anyone using them on Giant Scale. |

Re: Smiley Rubber Duck
I had one a while back, and did a test with it. I set a heli with a Futaba 149DP in the middle of my driveway, and had my wife watch it awhile I walked away down the street (talking to her on the cell phone) with my 9c in servo test mode where it constantly cycles the servos. I got about a quarter of a mile away and it went into failsafe. I stopped, and swapped the antenna for the stock 9c antenna, and it came back to life, and I kept walking. After a while I was 2 miles away and tired, and it still hadn't failsafed, so I had her get in the car and come pick me up. When I got home I threw the antenna away, not worth the range reduction.

Re: Smiley Rubber Duck
I still can't figure out why some people have problems and others don't have any. It doesn't make sense to me. Could it possibly be an installation issue?
Was yours a Smiley? |

Re: Smiley Rubber Duck
Yup, it was a Smiley. Realistically, 1/4 mile of ground range is plenty in the air, but I couldn't bring myself to use it after seeing the reduction in range.
