DBCherry,

I figured you didnt realize that I was from OZ.
As my antenna length is only 36 " I decided to do a range test. I walked around 50 yards from my plane and with the TX antenna collapsed and everything worked fine. Then I did the same at 60, 70 and then 80 yards away. I figured at 80 yards with the antenna collapsed I am still going to get normal range with the antenna up and the plane in the air.
(I could hardly see the plane on the ground at 80 yards away), My conclusion is that the antenna must be the correct length and did not break when I thought it did.

Thanks again for the help,

Troy.
