Just curious, is there any maximum length for the EX Bus wire from a REX3 to the FBL?

The Spirit Jeti cable is about 15cm, but in some cases I may need a small extension.

Just want to see if there is any issue with running that wire a bit longer.

Probably (much) more than 2x that.

Thanks :-)

Most of my helis have a pretty conventional layout with the FBL unit behind the main shaft, and if I place the RX in back as well, the Spirit Jeti cable reaches easily. But I have two helis where the FBL is in front.

I usually build up my own out of twisted wire vs. the flat stuff instead of using extensions. (For a little more noise immunity)
