Default Trim or Not to Trim...
Hi Guys

I’m now starting to put my B4.1 together and I have a little question regarding the aerial, I will be running the Futarba 3VCS with the 40Mhz high response receiver (part No R203HF) but the aerial wire is about twice the length of the aerial tube.
So my question is can I trim it to length???

many thanks
G

You can't cut that either. The wire usually quite short anyway, although with my Futaba receivers they are quite long. Just coil it around an antenna tube and heatshrink over it.
