Hello All,
I have a Fly Sky GT3B transmitter and receiver and I have noticed I can only go about 30-40 feet max away from me and it will cut out and my optical killswitch will disable the engine. I have the antenna sticking out of the body shell in an antenna tube. It does not help any and there are no cuts in the antenna and it is not damaged in any way. I am wondering if it could be 2 things. The transmitter takes 8 AA batteries and I use rechargeables, which fully charged, the screen says it’s 10.7 volts out of the 12 volts if I were to use standard alkaline AA batteries. Does this reduce the range because it has reduced voltage? I also have a ton of wiring over the receiver body itself and the receiver sits next to the optical killswitch. I have hardly any space for wiring so I’m hoping I can get a LiFe battery instead of the bulky 6v nimh pack. Does all the wiring on top of the receiver reduce range?
