Whip antenna for Futaba 8U

[Kurt Bozarth]

Please elaborate.  The AMA special interest group for pylon racing
attempted to ban short TX antennas but failed to do so during a vote
last year.

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

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 Stillman

 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?

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
