I have a 4*60 with a JR receiver in it. The antenae wire runs through the fuselage and out at the bottom just in front of the rear wheel. I changed the design and added a sullivan tail wheel in order to take the weight off of the rudder. My problem is that the wire extended far enough to have the tailwheel run over the wire intermittantly. Yesterday, I noticed that the wire was worn through about 2-3 inches from the end. Can this be cut back to remove the frayed end? It would mean shortening the antenae only 3-4 inches. It would then not get tied up with the wheel any longer.
Rule #1: Never cut the antenna.
Rule #2: If you should ever need to cut the antenna, see Rule #1.
Could you run the antenna out the back of the fuse then up the trailing edge of the rudder?
