To hide the pin when using a piece of heat shrink to secure the end of the antenna wire, using sharp scissors, pinch the heat shrink flat and cut a small section from the middle of the shrink tubing about as long as the Tee of the pin making cut just to the inside. Stick the pin through the slot and bury the Tee, then feed the antenna wire and insert pin into stab leaving proud so that heat gun can shrink the tubing clear of the plane. After shrinking, seat the pin fully. Yields a neat and fully hidden pin.

you have to show me what you are talking about.

Hi!
????
I have all my antennas inside the fuselage within a 3mm sodastraw glued inside the fuselage.

If you feel that the 39" antenna is too long, Hayes makes a "loaded" 18" antenna. I lose about 10' of range in a ground check with the Hayes and the antenna inside the fuselage.

combat guys run the wire in a tube down one wing protecting it well. would work well on any plane WITHOUT a removable wing.

My Kaos 90's fuselage is so long that my antenna wire only reaches about 3/4 the way to the fin.

I cut one "arm" off a servo output leaving at least 3 holes. Using a T-pin, I run several loops of heavy thread from the pin to the 1st servo hole and then run the antenna wire down the 2nd hole and up through the 3rd.

Ok, so maybe the T-pin head shows but in the air... :-)

Very crude drawing to illustrate.

Is it just me or is anybody else confused?

its just you [:-]

That is good. I hate to be in unfamiliar territory!

I use a rubberband between the T pin and the cut servo arm. Holds nice and snug.

Hi!
yeah! Why have the antenna hanging ouside the fuselage???
By the way...no more antennas to bother with...spektrum is the way to go!
