hi
i own a futaba 2pl-2.4g with 2 receivers, and got a strange problem. after some time with no problems at all, there seems to be some communication problem between the remote control and the receiver - starting at a distance of 3(!!)meters (=10feet). the behaviour is as follows: motor stops at full throttle, and then comes back within tenth of a second, leading to a stuttering motion. on-off-on-off-on-off, until i get back in the 3m range again.
this is not ok - is it?
what can i do. i heard moving receiver and motor as far away from each other would help. but i can't move it further away from each other than it's installed atm. (see picture).
any advice? what should i do?
ps. battery is fully loaded of course. both of them ;)

sometimes things are strange. after struggeling with that issue for weeks, i posted that question. than i thought: i could open the remote and have a look. and guess what? the little hf-antenna connector came loose. i plugged it in/on. and secured it with some hot glue - just in case.
everything's working great again ;)
