"...a minimum loss of range." This antenna is not going to work as well as the stock length wire. Will it be good enough? Probably yes. Possibly no.
Can your radio equipment handle the loss? Probably yes. Possibly no. My rule of thumb (same as last time), "shorter than stock is worser than stock". No question. If the unit is designed well, the reduction will be fairly small. Typically, on the order of 15%. But if it's done poorly, it could be a lot more. Just don't fool yourself into thinking it will work the same as stock. Bill Swingle Janesville, CA RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
