Can I use 2 bobbins to shorten antenna?
So, Can I use 2 antenna bobbins to shorten the Rx antenna? Or would it be better to run the antenna up one side of the fuse, then down the other side?
Its for a small electric pylon racer. I had used one bobbin, but there was still about 16 inches trailing behind the fuse.
Well, the inevitable happened, the antenna got pinched by the elev in a loop and jammed. When I leveled out after the loop, the plane just started snap rolling, I cut power but could not recover. I thought something came loose or broke in flight, and it ended up as a really nice lawn dart. Actually very little damage (thanks to soft ground and grass field). After the plane was pulled out of the ground, I noticed the antenna stuck between the elev and stab.
Or should I go with a Deans or Revolution base loaded antenna?
Opps, forgot to say that this was an Electron 6 Rx
