heli electrics q’s, range issues

[betty.k]

i’m not getting a lot of range outta my new heli (glitches at 10 – 15m), i’m wondering if there’s anything i can do to help it.

i noticed that the motors have a single 104 cap across the motor terminals.
from my car experience there are usually 2 or 3 caps and the motor can is wired up but these aren’t.

should i wire up 2 caps per motor, between the terminals and can?

if i did that, does the fact that the 2 motors are attached to the same aluminium plate matter?

what about the rx aerial, any special considerations?
i currently have it coiled along the boom :8ball:

Betty 1 cap should do but 2 or 3 cant hurt,
as fo the arial is teh boom CF? if soo coiling it around is a no-no, just get a straw attach it to a landing skid and feed the arial throught that, or if you have 36mhz you can get/make a preloaded arial which are super short and provide good range
