I have the FASST system in my new Lightspeed hand launch glider. I was careful to place the antennae ends in areas where there was no carbon. That being said, both ends are adjacent to electronics, the carbon boom and strips of reinforcing carbon. The two ends are at 90º to one another.
I haven¹t had a glitch and I¹ve flown the plane to 1,500 feet. I¹ve also flown low over buildings and fences, and in crowded radio environments. So far, so good! Different than the Spectrum set up, the Futaba just has a single receiver. Very easy to install and set up. I like the ability to go to the flying site and not worry about getting shot down.
