Last year there was this same discussion on the "8U" list. Annmarie Cross
forwarded an email from Steve Kaluf to that effect. He was very adamant
that this modification would void the AMA insurance. Everyone thought it
was funny because that month's cover of Model Aviation had some glider
guiders with Ducky antennas.

Remember that the AMA says they are illegal and that nullifies your insurance.
