Whip antenna for Futaba 8U

[Tony Stillman]

MessageChuck:

I would not recommend doing one on the 9Z because of the mechanics of how it is installed. There are some issues of fitting the installation inside the transmitter, but it could be done.

Yes, we install them in the 8U's here at Radio South.

  Tony, does the same model R/C Duck work for both the Futaba 8U and the 9ZAP? Is it an in-shop (at Radio South) job to install in the 9ZAP? Chuck W.

    We use the R/C Duck antenna.   It is $24.95 and works very well.  Note that there is a reduction in output power, but only a slight amount.

      Wanting to replace my stock antenna on my 8U with one of those shorter whip antennas.  I have looked around the web and couldn't find one (Central, Radio South, etc.).  Any tips on a brand / source?  BTW, if this is a bad idea for performance reasons, please tell me that also!   TIA, Chuck
