Links:
- A 35 Mhz mini aerial
- A similar antenna to the flywire, but for 35 Mhz.
- Radio Antenna coiling
- I am not convinced that this will not affect the radio's range, but here is another way to get the antenna short.
- Antenna Length Calculator
- A simple calculator showing half and quarter wave length antennas for the input frequency. Note that 72 Mhz uses quarter-wave antennas.
- E Zone review of micro Z antenna
- Lite Fly RC has a 6-inch antenna for sale. This review gives it a high rating.
- Antenna placement
- Ideas for antenna placement in carbon fuselages. The page is for gliders, but the ideas are equally valid for motorized planes.
- RC-CAM Projects: R/C Antenna Experiments
- Antenna experiments to see what effect different antenna configurations have on the range.
