Status: offline 		Need to buy a replacement antennae for my Futaba 7 CAP transmitter. Is this the proper replacement antennae. It states that is for the
" 7 Series " radios, but not "CAP" specifically.

Thanks in advance

Status: offline 		That antenna is for any 7C radio, as long as it isn't a 2.4Ghz 7C
There really are only 2 versions of the US 72Mhz 7C, Airplane and Helicopter. The P designation is used on sets bundled with a PCM receiver, but all 7C radios can be set to PCM and PPM mode.

Status: offline 		The antennae separated on the second telescoping section. Can I silver solder the second section to the third section and make it usable until the replacement comes in ? This would keep the second section from collapsing into the third section-That I could live with. Just wanted to make sure it didn't cut down on the antennas performance in sending out a signal.

Thanks in advance

We're wimps down here in SE Texas, ha, ha. Soldering the antenna shouldn't hurt the output, as long as the length is the same.

Status: offline 		If you do a search for "ANT5" you'll find that the exact same part is sold as a Duratrax product for a little over half the price:

When I needed a new antenna for my Futaba 7CAF, I ordered the Duratrax part and saved three bucks. It's been flying great for years with the Duratrax branded antenna.

Why do the car guys always pay less?
