My Feedback: (5)

I broke the antenna on my Futaba Skysport. Not having a local hobby shop to buy a new one, I decided to try to repair it. Here's what I did: I cut the kink out of the smaller diameter section, put it back in the larger diameter section and silver soldered it. The piece I cut was about .5 inches long. Will this work, or should I just order a new antenna? It seemed really secure, and the rest of the antenna is in good shape.

Thanks,
RandyH

Hi Randy,

We would definitely recommend that you purchase a new antenna, they are easily changed, and it may save you from losing your aircraft in the event of loss of signal to your receiver.
