I am about to fly my twin EDF YF-22 and on the first prototype interference was a problem. I was thinking of using the whip type antenna on the new one. Would a piece of piano wire connected to a short piece of the antenna work just as well as the commercial items. I would keep the overall length the same.

Try it and range check it before you fly.... no reason it shouldn't work fine. Keep the total length of your short original antenna & the piano wire the same as your original! Make sure the solder connection is clean and tight! There is nothing that will replace a good range check.... the proof is clear.. it either will work or it won't. Let us know how it works.

I've used it many times - worked fine for me - even stuck one of those ball heads from modelling pins on the end to stop sticking the point end in painful places...

Pick yourself up a revolution base load whip from Horizon Hobbies. About 7 " long and mount is insulated. I get outstanding range checks with EDF and Turbine. Doug

Thanks for the advice. I will try and let you know how it goes. This weekend the jet should be ready to fly.
