14MZ reciever compatibility with a base loaded antenne?
Question, Does the 14 MZ Reciever work with a base loaded antenne such as what is flown on the jets that I have seen, or on IMAC planes.
The antenne wire is usually cut to a 4 inch long length and then attached to the short whip antenne. I have seen them laying parallel and contained with in the fuselage.
Can that work? And if so what is the recommended antenne?

If you're asking about a "manufacturer's recommendation", Futaba cannot recommend that you use anything other than the stock antenna. Basically, if you add a different antenna to your receiver, you're on your own. The manufacturer's performance specifications could no longer be assured, and the warranty would no longer apply if you have operational difficulties.

I am not asking for a Manufacturing recommendation, I am however inquiring if anyone in the modeling public has any experience with a radio antenne whip on the 14 MZ and if any recommendation could be shared.
Thanks
