"One could even, by trial and error, design
a short antenna using a coil of wire wrapped around something like a
soda straw."
This is interesting. I've seen a micro electric Piccolo Pro with this
kind of antenna but didnt know what it was called. What is it called?
Was it made or bought?

Hitec superslim (new) 40.5 in.

length of the antenna. Since the inductance and capacitance of the
receiver is part
of the antenna. Arts calcula

Ijust measure my FMA Fortress Mirco 8 channel, #18 = 39" from the clear
case end of the PC board, no inside lead.
