+Notes regarding General Radio installations in Larger Applications (also applies to Ignition Engines and Turbine Jets)
 While some of this is written from a Spektrum context, the same principles apply to all larger aircraft installations. Maximize you Receiver installation for path and orientation diversity. Have at least TWO power paths from at least TWO batteries to your Receiver and you Aura.

 We recommend the same remote receiver quantity and power separation and redundancy with or without an Aura installed.

 Flex Innovations has done extensive testing using 2 Spektrum Brand DSMX Remote Receivers attached directly to Aura (A+B Diversity) in several 33-70cc aircraft. Our testing has always been successful and completely without issue.

 We suggest two batteries capable of high current with minimum two power input paths to the on-board electronics (Receiver, Aura, etc).
