I tried calling Dave at Dave's Aircraft Works at
(949) 248-2773. I get a message that says that the message is no good. Did the
prefix change?

has anyone tried using CF push rods or a CF boom as an attenna ?
We don't put wire antenna's inside the CF boom because they are conductive,
but are they conductive enough to pick conduct RF and match the RX input
appropriately, I have tried it yet but I thought it might be worth doing
some tests.
Before you put the tape on, put a strip of carbon tow across the joint
along top and bottom of the sheeting in line with the spar. This helps
quite a bit with the stiffness of the joint.

is worth it becuz it is stronger, lighter, and easier to build. I've
done it both ways and I'll never go back to option 1. I'd be interested

I worry about the same thing, but FMA 6 meter receivers work fine as
far as I can tell. I don't think they have either an AGC or RF stage,
but I've never had any trouble and Tom Hoopes who has some fancy test
eqpt and the inclination to do the world a service has given them his

This is ideal for a torque tube, but not a tailboom.
The 45 degree tube will have o
It probably doesn't happen often, but I did see a plane lost when the solder
connection to the pushrod failed. The plane had flown that way for some
time though, and it was probably form long time accumulated stress.
Something to think about if it doesn't yield some other significant
advantage.
David,
The key is to get the CF oriented lengthwise to the boom, to get the maximum
bending stiffness. But UNI-CF alone will give the boom very little
tortional stiffness. Having the FG at +/- 45 accomplishes this. The
tortional stiffness is needed when side loads get applied to the tail.

I did this on my Spectre HLG and it worked out great. But, on a big scale ship I
can't see the benefit. Why not just string the antenna back into the fuse? You've
got the room, right?
