Actually......

I havn't checked the length yet because I have no plane to put it in at this time. However... the reason I asked is because I believe it just stripped the covering off about 2 inches of the end of the wire. I already did a range check. I walked down the road about a 100 ft or farther with the tx antenna down and pointed to the ground in the opposite direction. My wife stood in the garage and said all servos were moving.

So, hopefully all I will have to do is just cover the end of the wire. I am going to measure it when the time comes to make sure. I agree it would be foolish to put my new plane in danger if I am not sure the receiver is ok. On the same token, it appears to work fine, I had it wrapped in thick foam. Unfortunately I'm not made of money and I think I will take my chances with it. I may regret it, but I feel that if it works fine from 100+ ft antenna down in the ground it should be ok. I will do some additional range checks but at this point I plan to use it on my new plane.

I appreciate all the advice. I know how electric flows and know that splicing is fine, but I know very little about how radio waves propogate through a wire.

I have gathered that as long as I get the length right, it doesn't hurt to splice. That is the info I needed.

Thanks a billion,
