Default Futaba sais don't turn on Tx with antenna collapsed?!?

Sure; It should be common knowledge, that in order for the final RF amplifier in your Tx to be properly "loaded", that the antenna should be extended. A collapsed antenna provides an improper load, and the final amplifier, in time, will self destruct.
