Default RE: Buddy Box Options With DX7

Thanks, Danny. I put a dab of epoxy on the antenna base, both sides, and let it set. I then put a small lenght throttle rod tube on the fuselage that was in a position that allowed me to feed the antenna halves into the tubes on each side as a sort of a guide. That keeps the antennas straight and prevents any flexing that may occur. This is in my new Tiger 120 and it flew on Saturday without incident.

Thanks for the input and suggestions. No, the antenna does not look damaged in any way, no frays in the metal strands from what I could see and I looked it over with a magnifying glass.

But, if you are in a position to offer suggestions for improvements, I would suggest they do something to strengthen that antenna setup on the main transmitter. It is a bit on the fragile side.
