Ever since I've had my F-14 tx I've cursed that huge great telescopic aerial sticking out of the case. I've replaced it once after I caught it in a friend's coat and bent it out of shape, so after seeing Ramesh's F-16 with a much shorter helical aerial, I decided to try one out.
Ramesh did confirm that he'd never noticed any loss of range with the short aerial, as yet I haven't had a chance to use it outdoors, but I've just done a range check by taking the Neptune downstairs out on the rear lawn, and with me upstairs operating the tx, everything worked fine on the sub.
It feels much better than having all that tubing sticking out the front of the tx case...expensive though at £39.52 (that figure does include £2.50 postage)
I bought mine through Westbourne Models in Dorset. Here's the link : Aerial and scroll down to the very last item on the page.
