Does anyone have experience with RCDirect's Berg designed Peel and Stick
antenna? Looks like an interesting approach for DLG and/or getting the antenna
away from the inside of carbon tail booms. Not quite sure why such a very
specific tag length (5") is emphasized but any comments and/or field evaluation
would be appreciated.

Dave,
I've used this antenna on electrics, electric helicopters and DLGs with good luck. Although I haven't run a test with the equipment that I've used in the past for evaluating receiver performance, I think that the results would be quite favorable.
Of course I would expect range to diminish somewhat, but the "safe overhead" that exists with current radio gear should still give acceptable performance. I've used the antenna with the Berg4, Berg5, Berg6, Hitec Super Slim, Airtronics 92777 "blue cube", and the FMA M5 receivers.
The specified "tag length" is most likely called out to insure optimum resonance with the "loaded" Berg Peel & Stick antenna.
