Hi Gordy,
On my Pike Superior, I simply doubled the length of
the antenna (to 2 meters, 1/2 wave instead of 1/4 wave as discussed on the Samba
site), and let the excess (about 2 feet) hang out the rear of the fuse (what's
inside the fuse is in a tube to prevent abrasion and possible shorting on any
carbon slivers). With this configuration (I'm using the JR R-700
receiver), I'm getting in excess of 200 feet on my range check.
YMMV. How do you like the Pike otherwise? Pretty sweet flyer,
yes?
