RE: My crash
It's going to be hard to get the reciever checked out since it's in about 30 feet of water at the bottom of a lake. Guys at the club say there's no point in even trying to find it. They've lost lots of planes out there and hardly anybody ever finds one. One guy even hired a scuba diver once to find a high end helicopter with no luck.
Antenna tubing- I haven't seen that before. I used a piece of fuel tubing to come out of the fuselage and then had the wire secured with a rubber band tied at the tail.
Any advice from you guys on routing the antenna for best reception on my next attempt?
