I just maiden my Viper today and it flew just great. How ever at some point it felt like i lost control a few seconds. Wondering if i should run the antenna over the battery instead off under the battery? Some even says they put it outside the canopy. Thoughts?

My AR636B rx does not have a satellite antennae/receiver port so i have to settle with the antennae to the rear like you said. I wouldn’t call it a lost connetion that second it happend more like a little “jump”.
But it wouldn’t hurt to replace the antennae like you recommend:) Thank’s for your help.

Hope everything works out for you, it's hard enough dealing with our own inadequacies as pilots without having added concerns with mechanical or signal loss issues.Hugh "Wildman" Wiedman

The B are already programmed by Spektrum including SAFE and you cannot "wipe them clean" and reprogram. You can reprogram some of the gains, but that's it and it will not accept a satellite receiver. The same is true of the A (I think). If you buy a separate AR636 (no A or B) it comes with no programming and you can program whatever you want. Of course, the AR636 is now discontinued and it is replaced by the AR 637 which can be programmed right from your transmitter (the 636 needed a phone or computer app and a connection cable to program)Hugh "Wildman" Wiedman

No, glue will not interrupt the signal. They claim that only the LiPo battery (and any electrical cables, not servo wires though) and possibly carbon fiber tubes (but they're narrow and you don't want to run the antennae on top of them) affect the signal. You should be good to go!Hugh "Wildman" Wiedman
