Default Is this ok?

I had to move my antennea to allow for additional space for my management deck. It came too close to the fuel line prior to the mod. I just want to know what you guys think.

Thanks! Pete

I say loose the tubes that your antennas are in and leave them exposed in separate direction with a little piece of scotch tape to keep them in place.

Other than that, it looks good as long as you have access to the RX...

Hmmm, I say keep the tubes Helps protect the ends of the aerials, especially when squeezed in amongst the other stuff, you don't wanna damage those ends!

J, you mean the exposed last 1.5" or so of the aerials?

Yep I accidentally tested the ends and worked perfect. I'm all for keeping those antennas exposed without touching anything hence the reason I suggested using scotch tape to keep them away from anything that might touch them, it's just my opinion, you know what they say about opinions

tube is fine...I would be concerned about passing the ant directly under jetronics brake/ret air valve...I think this design uses a solonoid to open/close a valve...I think the new ones pulse when they function...so my concern is some kind of electromagnetic signal being picked up and overloading reciever front end even if jettronics valve is shielded and produces little or no signal.... i guess a good range test while brake valve is functioning would put it to rest...kpc

Awesome, Thanks guys.

One more thing, On a different note. Has anyone ever used a small drop of med CA on a leaky air joint/fitting? My retract gauge had a slight leak and that's what I did and it worked, I figured I would just grab a new one if it didn't.

Thanks! Pete

Velcro works real well for positioning the antennae.

Yep! [:-] It worked for me too! Not sure how long it'll stay fixed but it's been fine for a long time now!

Acording to manual you should have atleast 12mm from antenna to metal. If I were you i would move the antennas furter away from the Jetronic and the battery switch.
