[NSRCA-discussion] SPECKTRUM Modules for Futaba and JR

[AtwoodDon at aol.com]

Looking at the way the Spectrum antenna is supposed to mount, why couldn't  
you just make a plastic ring/sleeve that would snap over the tip of the fully  
collapsed 9Z antenna and slide the Spectrum into that ring/sleeve.  That  way, 
the original configuration is not disturbed at all.
 
Having flown a DX7, I was uncomfortable with the way the transmitter hung  
from the neckstrap.  To me it seemed very 'bottom heavy' without the normal  
antenna somewhat counter balancing it. Some may choose to leave the old antenna  
in place and extend it to fly for balance purposes.  Not a big thing but it  
was noticeable to me.

The 9Z is a  little tricky to remove the antenna, but not  difficult..

Tony,
 

 
How do you remove the antenna from a 9Z? Not easily  done, I suspect.
 

 
If having the Spektrum module excludes the use of old  modules due to the 
difficult removal of the antenna, that is a negative in my  book.
 

 
However, in looking at the setup, I don't see any  reason why the Spektrum 
antenna can't be clipped onto the radio somehow,  without having to completely 
remove the existing antenna. I think having the  old antenna fully retracted 
would be  sufficient.

As I  understand it, it will slip into place in the old antenna place when it 
is  removed.  That’s all I know at this point, as I have not had one in my  
hands..

How does the  antenna attach on the Futaba module? The pictures that I have 
seen show a  wire leading to a rubber ducky type of antenna and I don't see how 
this  connects to a Futaba 9Z unless there is some sort of external  bracket.

 
 
If what I have  seen fits in place of the existing antenna then in my case it 
would have to  go to a shop to get it installed. 

 
 
Can you furnish  any info. on how this will  work.  

 
 
Buddy
