Hi Guys,

So, I've got a 2-piece Deans whip and I'm planning to use it on a Futaba 9CAP-Super.

[link=http://www.wsdeans.com/products/antenna/2piece.html]Link[/link]

The Deans instructions clearly state that the antennae should be cut between 4 and 10" from the receiver. My question is, is there an optimum length that will maximise the quality of reception?

Thanks,
Kelly

It will work just fine with the stated lengh. $ to 10 ins. Dennis

Yes, I understand that, but as with most electronics there is going to be an optimal configuration. I'm still free to place the receiver in a number of positions in this jet, while the antenna is already mounted, so I'd like to place it for the optimal antenna length if possible.

I sent an email to Deans about it, which got an auto reply with a phone number to call for product questions. I'll post if I hear anything valuable to share.

I spoke with their tech department (714) 828-6494, and they claim the optimal distance is about 7" No idea how much better 7" is vs 4" or 10", but I'm going with that...
