I just recieved my Aurora 9, it looks great with a impressive looking instruction manual.

My problem, there is no mention of the rx antenna installation! Should this be vertical or horizontal, a clip is included for mounting the antenna.

Any suggestions would be most welcome.
thanks

HI Honker

Here read this :http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_85...tm.htm#8515737

You won,t believe it . It doesn,t say because it doesn,t matter so much as the other makes , I think it,s the best 2.4 on the market . One guy used his mortorcycle to do the range check , ON THE POWER DOWN , and it,s 1/10 it,s power . 1,130FEET . And it,s also been tested on a carbin fiber fuse .

Don,t believe me ................................. read on , or ask the question at the end of the thread

You won,t believe it .
If I told you how I did my range check you wouldn,t believe me .

Mike Mayberry has said that it doesn't matter. Most of their test Hitec installations were mounted horizentally. That from a Hitec rep!
