[NSRCA-discussion] SPECKTRUM Modules for Futaba and JR

[Jay Marshall]

I wouldn't do that. We just had a discussion of the RX antenna being
affected by the pushrods, etc. The same happens on the TX end.

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..

Tony

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
