<DIV>That's the $3000 question that flyers who have wrecked their plane due to
it going into hold have been asking Futaba...</DIV>
<DIV>Cutting the wire will solve all of your problems. You won't
lose any range. I get plenty of range without even putting the </DIV>
<DIV>transmitter antenna in the radio. That should tell you how sensitive
the receiver is.</DIV>

with no problems. <BR>I did not measure the length of the antennae wire prior

tonight I can <BR>remove 1 and measure it's length. You will notice a
difference, at least in<BR><BR>a well setup pattern plane going from 1024 to
2048 resolution. I also <BR>noticed the 40% better update rate Futaba
claims over the 9Z radios. Other <BR>than the too soft factory stick
springs and still too soft factory Futaba <BR>"stiff" springs for the 14mz,
I'm very happy with it. I ended up installing<BR><BR>stick springs from
a 9Z radio to get the feel I was looking for. I do not <BR>have the part
number as I ordered them from Futaba some time ago but I do <BR>remember they
were replacement springs for the 9Z. I also purchased a <BR>genuine Sony
NP-F570 battery and have used it for both programming and <BR>flying and can
record no difference in charge times, Tx on times, etc. The <BR>14mz is
a battery hog in programming mode with the backlight on for the <BR>screen,
mine will take the battery from 100% to 30% in about 50 minutes if <BR>solely
programming.<BR>Ed M.<BR>----- Original Message ----- <BR>From: "Claude

14mz and compact flash card<BR><BR><BR>> My question isn't about the card
but about the antenna length on the R5014<BR>> receiver. There was an
article in RCU about cutting the antenna length to<BR>> 21.6" to solve
intermittent holds. Then I read something from Futaba that<BR>> you should
not cut the antenna, you should tighten any metal or carbon<BR>> vibration
to solve the problem. A friend bought a new radio with that<BR>> receiver
and it has the shortened antenna. So my question is if Futaba is<BR>>
shipping new receivers with the shorter antenna then why would they<BR>>
recommend not cutting the antenna? Holds no matter how short, unnerve me
<BR>> to<BR>> the point of not wanting to fly the airplane. I have been
using 1024<BR>> receivers with the 14mz radio.<BR>><BR>> Claude
