Seems Jay may have a good solution by using small balsa pieces to secure them. I must confess I have not been so particular with the placement - yet I get no receiver chatter when I test mine.<br><br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">They even go so far as to say that in certain installations they want you to have them exit to the outside of the fuse. You can't tape them down if you have a composite fuse,.......so what the heck do you do with them. I think I would rather have seen a short extension to a stiffer wire antenna, or a couple of pieces of the standard 72 MHZ type wire. They just seem too vulnerable to me.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Just got an 8 channel module for my 9C radio and finding it quite a different experience.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I like the idea of not having and external antenna, but arranging the internal routing can present a few challenges. Can't understand why they deviated from having the flight pak plug into channel 8 (it's between 3 & 4). </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">It seems to work O.K. and if the manual can be believed, the range must be quite extroadinary. There is a very small button on the back of the module that loads the output signal when pressed, supposedly diminishing the output power to a value similar to lowering your regular antenna and they specify that you should be able to retain signal integrity at 30 - 50 paces. Well after installing the system in my new airplane I got 400 feet while depressing the button and I still had solid contact, but had to give up as I did the test on the street in front of my house and I was starting to move around a corner and was losing visual.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">When you realize all this from that measley little 4" antenna, it's almost jaw-dropping. </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">With time I would anticipate some maintenance issues with those pesky little internal antennas, but hopefully, in the meantime nobody should be able to shoot me down.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">It wasn't too bad of a deal with the $30 discount from Tower.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Wish me luck,</font></div>
