Mike E Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I want to add a 35meg aeriel to the back of my JR tranny to mount a wind sock on the extended metal aerial I am concerned that it may cause interference to the DSM2 signal Be most grateful if anyone has any experience of doing this? Thanks Mike E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J D 8 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I still fly some aircraft on 35 meg and notice other flyers looking at my ribbon when about to take off or land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Green Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Could you use a glassfibre telescopic fishing-rod? or something non-metalic? plastic or acrylic rod? Having metal in close proximity to the aerial is not good. Cheers Phil Edited By Phil Green on 26/08/2014 20:57:52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Kremen Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I know it is no longer a requirement, but I never removed my black 2.4 pennant ribbon from the Tx. This ribbon is stapled to a piece of polypropylene(?) / flexible 'plant pot' plastic rectangle which has a hole just big enough to slip over the detents in the base piece of my Spectrum Tx aerial support. Not quite as good as a windsock but allows me to keep my eye on the model whilst glancing at the direction the ribbon is blowing i.e. with Tx held out directly in front of me.

Mike E Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Thanks for the info - I am suspicious of a metal aeriel so I have made one from dowel with heat shrink cover - it's a little clumsy and not so convenient as a telescopic but it works and improves the balance of the tranny Mikee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
