Whip type Antenna (HELP)
I just traded for a airplane that has a whip antenna on it but the whip came off right where the whip is soldered to the mount.
My question is can you just solder it back on and still be ok.
I have heard that the antenna has to be tuned by length.
I am concerned because it broke about 3/16ths of an inch off.
Also where do these come from I have never seen them for sale at any of the LHS except for use on boats.
This one is plastic covered steel and is about 6 inches tall, it is on a [COLOR=red]HITEC[/COLOR] reciever.
any suggestions would be apperciated. Thank you Jim

You can just solder it back on if the broken piece is in good shape. 3/16th will not affect the performance in the slightest. You can lose up to 6" without any problems.

Mike.
