Running your aerial in your mode

Never have your aerial folded back on itself, also never change the length of your aerial. The best placement of an aerial is half lengthwise and the rest hanging down so that when the model is coming at or going awy from you these is always a length of aerial that is receiving. This is especially true of large gliders that can be very far from you. However sometime this not always practical.

If you have any metal pushrods of carbon rods running down the fus or even a carbon fus, then the aerial should be run down the outside of the fus.​
