airborne,
This is a pretty easy fix.
You can get a new antenna here:

I broke my antenna on a 6ex and ordered a new one from this site. It took me about 1/2 hour to fix.
I am sure the 8fg is the same.

Hi,
Can anyone help me set the flap servo speed with my Futaba 8FG? I was told by someone to use airbrake a d there is a speed setting from 0-27. I tried many times with no results. Using a 6 channel receiver with flaps on a y harness on channel 6.

Thanks

Disclaimer: I found this method on RCU three or four years ago. Don't remember who posted it. I only added a few notes of my own to help me remember how to do this.

Thanks, I will try that. But what about the airbrake function?

The MOTOR function is the only one I found that would slow a channel down. Once I found this method and set it up on my flaps successfully, I quit looking.
