I don't know if anyone is like me out there, but I hate having to unravel and then re-ravel the antenna wire around the landing gear after a landing gear fix.

I didn't want to wait on a Micro-Z 72 antenna order from my LHS so I dicided to use a bit of skill and creativity to rig something from stuff I alread had lying around the house.

Heat Shrink Tubing
Nitro Fuel Line
Antenna Tube

I cut the antenna tube 4 1/2 inches long and ran the antenna wire through it leaving enough slack to reach the land gear slots from the receiver. I then wrapped the wire around the outside of the antenna tube, not to tight though. Next I cut 3, half inch pieces of heat shrink tube and secured the wire in place. Some may choose to cover the whole tube. I just wanted to make room for as much reception as I could. Just me being extra cautious. Lastly I cut 2 small pieces of fuel line to cap off each end of the tube. I checked my reception during flight and it seemed to work fine. I do reccomend that you leave a piece of the antenna wire end protruding from the outside of the heat shrink and fuel line.

I posted some pics because I thought it was a cool idea to share. Hope others find this mod useful!
