Got ya. Keep them apart - ya plane will look like a porcupine! Haha!!!

 WTWUK 1377 points

You using four RX's? If so, try to keep the ends seperate from each other if you see what I mean. Sounds like a classic case for S.Bus!

 WTWUK 1377 points

If possible, mount so that just the white tail end is poking outside the fuselage - one horizontal and other vertically for best results. Internally is ok too as you are not using carbon fibre, so signal loss will be minimal.

Yes i got 2 of those. Easy to plug in

Thanks mate.

 Nikolaos 618 points

First of all its easy to plug it in - piece of cake. Second depending from were you setup the antenna and how big is your model you make the extension. I put it as far as i can from my motor and batteries not for the range but because of the "electronic trash". I believe its the same range with this antenna but more "clean" receiver. Hope that helps

Yes, it will work

 Nikolaos 618 points

Carlo its easy to put it in and yes you can plug it in all frsky receivers

can i used this antenna for my frsky tfr6 fasst?

 pono420 56 points

yes it can be used with that reciver and all frsky recivers... and yes you can replace only one antenna. the thin exposed end of the antenna is the part that is sending the signal. my fpv glider has two of these cum'n out the tail in a "V" shape and you can get better range that way. hope this helps.

The antenna would work - check the connectors - make sure they are the same

 pono420 56 points

just make sure the exposed end of the "new" antenna is the same as the stock antenna.

You`re just opening the cover of the receiver (it`s really easy), disconnecting the standard antenna and putting the new one. It`s really simple.

 Dinel 20 points

Make sure you dont push it in too hard. Just till you hear it "click"

looking for specifically how to remove the existing antenna u'fl connector..?- 'pulling' at the existing antenna isn't good I assume..I understand you only have a couple of chances with these connectors before they fail..thanks

The heat shrink is covering the bottom half of a dipole antenna. In theory, it has slightly better "gain" than the original whip antenna (the unshielded 31mm bit on its own). However, the antenna's location within the plane will have a greater impact on reception than this minor design change will.

Agree on the length part, but in my opinion possibility to detach the antenna is very important. I had several cases when I had to change antennas. If antenna is soldered into place, it is VERY hard to do it :)

This antenna has a plug on it.
Just open the FrSky RX, and plug in a new one. I have done this many times, and had no problem with this.....

 mr.sneezy 263 points

The two antennas are not phased together, the schematic shows both are switched in turn. The total cable length won't matter.

 Dorulet 77 points

Yes it would work. Just check that the white end is about the same length as the old one (the white end is the actual antena).

 the savy fluxer 24 points

best if you do two, one for the vertical and one for the horizontal. that way you get the best reception posible.

 Gnome 37 points

You need to have two antennas on a receiver that has two. The actual antenna is the unshielded end. These are used to conveniently locate the antenna to another place on the airplane. A short and a longer antenna would work fine as long as they are placed at 90 degree angel (the ends away from the receiver).

 aJS32 281 points

You can have one short antenna and one long one. This will not be a problem. Main thing is to have 2 of them on two antenna Rx. Regards

This is for FrSky reciever. If you have the FrSky module in your Turnigy, then yes you can use it.

 H-KING_SCOTT 5156 points

It requires dismantling to fit, applications like hotliners, some heli's and so on, where longer antenna are needed will be the main purpose.

Maciej why are you being such an ass?

You dont speak english that well either buddy so give it a break.

I don't have an FrSky tx/rx YET but was wondering if (after seeing this) are there plugs on the rx antennas? is it really as simple as unplugging one of the 2 antennas and replacing it with this? The pics don't show it so I was hoping someone who had one could let me know, if so I may add one to my order when I order my new module and rx's Thanks

 Plendo 9 points

It is easy to plug in to the V8R7. On the V8FR you need to open the hard plastic case, then it is easy. It will not plug in to the V8R4, it has a soldered antenna.

BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO - CHARLIE
U R ROCKING.

WAKE UP!

THERE R NO PLUGS , U HAVE TO MAKE THEM ON YOUR OWN.

Maciej.

The only stupid here is you.
Please do the best thing you can do and disappear.
So i recomend you to use your time in learn some respect and how to write correctly too (Some gramathical lessons will not kill you)
Let other peopple ask and learn how to enjoy this wonderfull hobby. If you know all things, What are you doing here? HURRY UP!!! GO N.A.S.A. THEY NEED PEOPPLE LIKE YOU!!!

Better than Youtube here......fightfightfight.....
get a chainsaw.....lol

 aJS32 281 points

Nice fight ... to replace the antennas, you have to take the Rx apart, the unplug the original antennas (just pull them off upwards) and put new ones... very easy. Works great for Futaba Rx's. Regards

 waterlogged 2357 points

Macie, apart from gramathical being spelt Gramitical and peopple spelt people. I'd advise against trying to fit sockets to your receiver. Firstly they may be hard to find. secondly they may not fit the module and thirdly it's much easire to snip the old smaller antennas off and resolder the new long ones in their place. Just ensure both are the same size. Try to avoid pulling the outer covering down the inner cable. This will change the antenna's optimum frequency dramatically and detune the system.

 waterlogged 2357 points

Sorry I made a mistake too, Gramatical is spelt grammatical, a genuine typo I assure you.

 JohnH 310 points

Just to clarify, you do not need the two aerials on a 2 aerial receiver to be the same length. It is completly OK, (& I would say "normal") to just extend one of the aerials It is worth mentioning that the 'micro connector' fitted to these longer aerials fit genuine FUTABA, FrSky for Futaba, the full range FrSkys & the 7 channel "OrangeRx R710 for $pektrum. Of course the micro connector can be cut off & soldered to any receiver, but it is a delicate operation requiring, good eyesight, steady hands, & good soldering equipment & skills.

 Happyflyer 34 points

As said earlyer, you have to dismantle the receiver case for changing to a new antenna on the receiver. It doesn't matter if you use one short and one long, because it's only the outher end that's really antenna wire, and they are the same on all. If you are going to unplug the antenna from the receiver board, take care, and use a blade to lift off the connector, not pull it out by it's cable....this way you can use the antenna wire on a later prodject, if you rip it off, it's most possible you destroy the antenna cable inside!

Here I'm afraid I disagree. The feedline on many antennas has to be in multiples of 1/2 a wavelength. Basically what you have here is a simple dipole. The outer shield isn't exposed and pulled down to act as a ground plane (No reference to Airplane) so therefore the feedline itself is doing the job. So it must be multiples of 1/2 1 wavelength to be resonant. Unless they have devised some form of miniature antenna tuner on the board (That bit was a joke) As that appears to be the case the antenna and feedline has to stay exactly that length. Thanks for the soldering question. I never realized the receiver had a socket built in. I'm still trying to get over what I thought was a monitor. I never realized it was a monitor transmitter and receiver all in the one package. I fired mine up this evening and bound the RX etc. Amazing equipment.
