Just this weekend in fact, one of the local beginners snagged his leg on his stab mounted antenna, tripped and fell on, you guessed it, another plane. Ouch!<BR>
<BR>
Actually the hardened insulation remoinds me of the one about the old timer whose friend told him he could enhance his love life with rye bread.<BR>
<BR>
"Rye bread" he sez. His friend replied "yes Maury, rye bread"<BR>
<BR>
Next day he went to the bakery and asked the Baker for " 16 loaves of rye bread"<BR>
<BR>
"16 loaves Maury" the Baker replied. "it's gonna get hard"<BR>
<BR>
" Oh you heard about it" was Maury's reply<BR>

Does this all mean that "real pattern pilots" DON'T run their antenna outside, connected someplace with a rubber band?</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" BACK="#ffffff" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=3 PTSIZE=12 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"><BR>

Jon you would be fine with the set-up you want to use. What I use is stirrer straw material from the local coffee shop, at around<BR>
1/8" OD. I place about 5 straws on a rod, end to end, and tape the joints. Then I route the straw in a convenient location. The important thing to remember is the feeding of the antenna when you are installing the radio.<BR>

Hi all, What is the best way to run the receiver antenna on a composite<BR>
fuse pattern plane? I am building a Temptation, I`m thinking of putting<BR>
the antenna in a tube inside the fuse. Will this work or will it create<BR>
radio reception problems? Any other ideas? Thanks Jon Wise<BR>
