You can go with a base loaded antenna, that way you can chop most of it off.. otherwise you have to leave it long

the antenna has to be a set length to receive the signal properly. As stated, you can go with a base load antenna, which is shorter, however it weighs more. This is not desired on a micro heli. I personally run base load antennas on my helicopters though. If your on runryer, check out my profile 'carlyle' and you can see what a base load is.

Or you can wrap the antenna on a thin straw or tube. Just make sure that if you do this, while coiling the wire, do not overlap.
You should be able to get all the wire on a 5-6" thin tube or straw. Other than that, as the others have said. A dean's or baseloaded ant is the way to go. |
