Talk:HOWTO Wiki Blade CX Tail Boom Mod - BYO

From Heli-Wiki

OK, so that's the mod for the CX-2. The heading says "Blade CX Tail Boom Mod". My question would be: where would you put the antenna wire for the cx? I'm assuming the cx-2 doesn't have an antenna.

yeah, the cx2 just has a real short antenna. No idea where you would put the antenna for the cx =) You maybe could put it around the skids like the cp and the cp pro have them. Just make sure to do a range check with the motors unplugged and the antenna down, keep moving the cyclic around and have someone by the heli watching it and keep going until it no longer follows your commands. Should be a good 60 to 100' with the antenna down.

CX antenna

I wonder if wrapping the antenna around the boom would be good. Not sure of interference, though. Or, like you said, around the landing gear. There has to be a way, right!? :)

hehe yeah, should be. Wrapping it around the pro's boom will cause a real short range and RFI like crazy, but one of the main differences is that the boom in the cp and cp pro has a wire through it for the tail motor. I dunno if the CF has something to do with the RFI, or if it is just the tail motor lead wires. Where do they put the antenna anywha on the cx?
