Inside is the BEST!!!


With All due Respect.......


I have run .40 and .60 size trainers, to .40 size Funfly planes like Fazers and Uproars etc. .90size and gas up to 1/5th scale Warbirds, .60 to .90 Aerobatic and Pattern planes and all Q-500 planes for over the last 25 years. I use Futaba and Hitec Receivers and Futaba transmitters now and back in the good old days I used MRC and World Expert radios with their respective receivers (for those who remember what they are) I have run the antenna down the inside the Fuse or inside the Wing from the root to the tip on all of my planes. The antenna exiting the fuse running back to the Stab or Fin connected with a rubber band is a ugly as sin especially on a Warbird. I have never had any radio interference running inside the fuse or the wing. I run the antenna inside a Sullivan(Red) Nyrod tube. First I loop the antenna thru a left over servo arm that was cut-off from a servo horn. Loop it thru one hole slide it down to the end by by the receiver then run it back thru another hole to secure it approx 4-5 inches away from ther receiver. Then run it thru the Nyrod, and when it exits the Nyrod I run it thru another cut-off servo arm the same way. A spot or two of glue on the Nyrod to secure it to the Fuse or Wing and your done. Make sure you sand the glue points on the Nyrod for good adhesion. If there is any interference then I would look elswhere for the real underlying problem.


Keep this in mind - The guy who crashes and does not know why, and he blames the Radio for no other reason. I mean it could'nt be pilot error, Right?
