RE: antenna
Please use the full length antenna that comes stock on your reciever. Find some clear stiff tubing to support the stock wire antenna and route it along the bottom of your machine.

RE: antenna
I have flown whips and wire antennas extensively and the whip is ok for hover and close in flying but make me nervious when flying way out like setting up foe FAI stuff etc. I once put a whip ( Deans I think ) in a all wood airplane and was suprised at lack of range. Since that day I always use the full length wire.
