Install the main receiver using the same method you would use to install a

conventional receiver in your aircraft. Typically wrap the main receiver in protective

foam and fasten it in place using rubber bands or Velcro straps. Alternately in

electric models, it’s acceptable to use thick double-sided foam tape to fasten the

main receiver in place.
Mounting the remote receiver in a slightly different place, even just two inches from

the primary receiver, gives tremendous improvements in path diversity. Essentially

each receiver sees a different RF environment and this is the key to maintaining a

solid RF link, even in aircraft that have substantial conductive materials, (i.e. larger

gas engines, carbon fiber, tuned pipes, etc.) which can attenuate the signal.
Using double-sided foam tape, (servo tape) mount the remote receiver keeping the

remote antenna at least 2 inches (51mm) away from the primary antenna. Ideally

the antennas will be oriented perpendicular to each other, however, we’ve found this

to not be critical. In airplanes, we’ve found it best to mount the remote receiver to

the side of the fuselage or in the rear turtle deck.
