If you guys have not read this article, ...well you wonder why you aren't placing better at contests...you aren't reading enough.
Dale's article in RCSD was excellent! For those of you who may not know Dale he is and has been a top USA champion and still one of the best TD thumbs out there. I wasn't surprised to see that he was a pioneer in getting 2.4 to work in existing carbon airframes. It is well thought out, simple and tested to the standards of a Master Class rc competition pilot. You should have downloaded the free copy of the issue...and then donated via Paypal like the rest of us :-)....well right after sending your $20 to support our USA F3J team's efforts to win yet another World Championship. So go take a look...if you would like the link....too bad, you know what they say about rc sailplaners...give them a link and they find the info today, make them find their own link to RCSD and they'll be winning their LSF5 contests this coming season!

In my opinion, the Futaba RX antenna system is far superior, requiring only one RX with its partially shielded extra length of the Futaba RX antennas. I know that the JR/Spektrum 2.4 system can be made to work in carbon fuselages with extra RX's located around with their short antennas properly placed. JR even sells special hardware to help the modeler tell if the RX antenna locations are OK. I sold my Spektrum systems and went to Futaba specifically because of the convenience of applying the RX antenna system in my existing sailplanes. To date, my Futaba 2.4s have worked flawlessly without any extra RX's placed strategically around.
