I've been flying with a rubber ducky antenna for years. Best thing that
happened to R/C technology since narrow band receivers and transmitters came
out grin. I've been using them for years and no one will convince me
otherwise. Sure there is a slight loss in range but not enough for me to go
Mark, are you sure someone on the big island doesn't have a Supra?

Didn't they have a blizzard on the 24th?
Warning, Supra's triggers global warming.
I think the Supra's might come equipped with northeast weather. Only Mark
and Tom know
Anyone had any experience using these in place of the OEM
telescoping antenna? Is the range loss significant?
An often asked question. The answer is: Yes.
So far no one has made an aftermarket antenna that even equals the stock
one.
How much reduction? This is more difficult to answer.

you've never used the JR base-loaded
I appreciate your candor.
But, I said aftermarket.
If it's no shorter than stock what's the attraction?

It's much shorter than stock, less than half, and flexible too. Used them exclusively for 12 years now. No problems even to almost OOS Bill G.

$125 + shipping. Includes Interlink Transmitter and disk. Works perfectly.
It is shorter Bill, and yes the JR base-loaded antenna demonstrates
significantly less gain (as does any base-loaded whip no matter who
makes it) than an OEM telescoping unit...type-acceptance or not.
Most folks seem to miss the point; as long as you range test and see
similar results when
If I am flying models that are relatively close in, like a slope model or
some electrics I'll use a JR whip antenna.
If I am flying at a contest with a lot of TX'es that are on, and we are
flying TD with our models going to the limits of our vision either up or
downwind or both, I will use
OH Yea!
I came home the other day and my neighbor pointed to the mountain
(Haleakala) and said look - see the snow. Yes we had snow on Maui too.
It was about 80 deg F at my condo in Kehei (sea level) at the time.
Haleakala is about 10k ft. I figure that a FedEx plane had stopped

Thanks for the agreement Simon.
I stand by what I've said many times: If it's shorter, it's worser.
I've yet to see an exception, including the JR base loaded unit.

Easy to own both and change antennae back and forth as needed.
Absolutely! I carry THREE different types in my TX box.
Al was right. Antenna wars!

but completely not necessary... the JR base-loaded antenna has functioned
at out of sight distances for many of us for years.. reliably.. with no
extendo headaches.. I'll use nothing else..
I have been using rubber duck antennae for only about twenty three years
now.
I HAVE found a problem. I can no longer SEE my airplanes as far away as I
used to be able to see them.

Not as easy as some may think to change back and forth with certain
transmitter setups. For both my Multiplex Evo and my JR 9303, there is an
adapter that you have to install internally and this allow for only the use
of the aftermarket base loaded or rubber ducky/whip antenna. You would have

And as a former Rocky Mountain resident I'm sure you thought, snow

Maybe the plane just fools gravity. Supras land in Hawaii.

F3B airplanes for sale. This is an F3B team select year and these birds are
available for immediate sale as a complete package or I will consider breaking
into two packages only if both are sold at the same time.

Hey this is off topic, but my Son was accepted to SouthWestern Medical
School in Dallas . He was notified last night. He will make an excellent
Doctor. He already has a degeee in EE with honors. He is 25, single and
ready to get with the program. Never could make a RC sailplane pilot
Congrats on that!!! Alway a proud moment to see your kids succeed. My hat is
off to anyone who makes it through medical school. My oldest followed me
into law enforcement and my youngest is a Sports Reporter for WLTX TV in
Columbia South Carolina. (Happy that he is using the degree!!).
I am currently compiling information for an article
on modelers that have built their own Experimental airplane. Anyone who has or
is building an airplane please contact me directly. If you know of a
modelerwho is building but is not on the list pass on the information to
them for contact.
