Hi Netters, I am using a Ray Allen trim system with the LED-position indicator. Yesterday during testing I discovered that when pressing the radio transmit button the LED indicator indicates maximum travel and the LED lights very weak. Ray Allen says that the LED indicator is sensitive to RF power and it could possibly be dammaged. They advise to increase the distance between the trim cable and the antenna.
My COM-antenna is located in the middle of my rear turttle deck and my trim cable runs along the top longeron. The smallest distance between the antenna and the trim cable is aprox. 10". I have no chance to increase this distance. Today I tried to shield part of the trim cable with aluminium foil (grounded). This improved the situation only just a little bit. Did any of you guys encounterd the same problem ? If yes, how did you solve it ? Regards, Marcel Driessen Meerlo, The Netherlands PS. My plane is almost finished (99.99%). I ran my engine last weekend for the first time. If everything works fine I wil fly my KR2S later this spring.
