Anyone had any experience using these in place of the OEM telescoping
antenna?
Yes. ~ 10 years with Futaba Txs (7UGFS and 9C). Haven't had a 'hit' yet.
Is the range loss significant?
No.
Only problems I've seen are the
Field test of a Rubber Duck vs a whip on page 6 of this newsletter. Keep
in mind that our normal Tx grip has us pointing the antenna at the plane
most of the time.

weather clears I'm going to check it with a Duck and see what the range

I have seen the submission by YK Chan, and agree with the idea. I
have
done essentially the same thing with all new installations (first a
Vision, then a Stylus). What I did involved a friend who stayed
