FalkeEins Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) that's a beauty Tim ! as you say the antenna should ideally be a little slacker with the canopy open (no tensioning device) but that is some quality finish ....

Cheers, no I'm not happy at all with that antenna wire, stretched sprue is not the thing to use as it just doesn't hang right. Its back to the drawing board for the next build with that type of antenna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Cheers, no I'm not happy at all with that antenna wire, stretched sprue is not the thing to use as it just doesn't hang right. Its back to the drawing board for the next build with that type of antenna. Maybee using some fine copper wire? Or hang a woodpeg on it and reheat the wire with a hairdryer? I haven't use these methods but maybee worth a try?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksdad Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Tim. For aerials in the past I tend to use either fishing line or extension hair from a shop such as Claires accessories or Monsoon. The extension hair will tighten with hair dryer. Try using a spare sprue tree. Drill a couple of holes opposite each other and practice with these until you are happy.

I think I may be best leaving things as they are, lesson learnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
