I use the Hobby Lobby Power Stick, its 5" long and doesn't wobbly or wiggle. It screws right on to my Sty, if you have a JR you need the extension rod sold by them to get a threaded end out of the case to screw on to. The Stick comes with two thread adapter inserts... so if you have an 'outy' threaded antenna connection like the Sty has, you should be able to get away with just the Stick. As far as testing goes, none of them have the same range as the stock long antenna and the output 'pattern' is different. What do you readers interpret that as saying? That the range is less, or the pattern is bad? Always boggles me that that is the automatic interpretation when all I said was not the same and different. I had my system recently tested by Galaxy Hobbies. he has been testing tuning for lots of years. There was no noticable power or tuning difference from the 'stock - CLEAN' antenna and the Power Stick. Did I say it was the same? Nope just no noticable diffference. I have used the Power Stick for about three years so far all over the USA and in lots of RC environsments....TD, close cluttered slope, big mountain way out and up slope. Worked. I prefer to use my Stick on the slope and my standard for TD, not because of RF power or pattern but because of convienence and some little things I like about the long antenna during flying high and landing. Like Don Edberg said... it ain't right to mess with USA FCC RF stuff.... Also think twice about using a duck that needs you to glue a mount into your TX to make the Ducky connect, goofs with Warranty and some other reasons. I know that ACE sells an adapter rod for 'inny' type connections for their Ducky. You just screw it in and then can at a moments notice use the stock antenna. Their duck screws on to a threaded outy part of the Adapter. Something you can't do with those cool 'twist' lock systems. They all 'work' just fine though. The exact range is one meter past your eyesight :-) Gordy RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
