. I only have to remember to pull out the antenna on the 72 MHz radios (yeah, you guessed it.. I forgot and lost a plane [X(] [] ).

If I had a choice, I would go with the Airtronics RDS8000 and save the $50.00 for something else... perhaps pay for half of that handy dandy charger you wanted to get.

CGr.

YUP!!!! been there, done that, In fact just Sunday. I,at least found out what the range is with the antenna down. I was lucky it was a slow decent and only broke the prop. Flew last night, winds about 15-18, makes it interesting and keeps you on your toes. Didn't know I could hold my breath for 8 minutes.[sm=teeth_smile.gif][sm=teeth_smile.gif][sm=tongue_smile.gif]
