Are you tired of looking at your airplane with 20 inches of antenna wire dragging behind it?
The 7.8 inch long STICKY antenna was conceived by John Weaver of RC-Direct, designed by Peter Berg and tested by many modelers to effectively replace your long receiver antenna with minimum loss of range.
STICKY is a flexible antenna which weighs only 0.5 gram.
STICKY is tuned to the 72 MHz radio control frequency band.
STICKY is only 0.007” (less than 0.2 mm) thick and has (you guessed it) a sticky backside, you can “peel-and-stick” it anywhere on or in your airplane.
STICKY is photochemically etched on a flexible mylar substrate, similar to what you see in a printer head “ribbon” cable. The zig-zag antenna wire as well as the base loading inductor are etched in copper. All exposed copper is then gold plated (hey, REAL gold!) so that the antenna will yield minimum resistance and not be affected by corrosion.
To use STICKY antenna, you will cut the antenna of your receiver so that the total length between your receiver and the edge of STICKY is 5 inches. You may either solder the pigtail of STICKY to the remaining length of receiver antenna, or you may use the supplied connectors.
To attach to plane, simply peel the paper backing off, and stick the antenna to the fuselage or wing. For optimum performance, keep STICKY away from other electrical components, carbon, battery wiring etc.
STICKY offers a minimum loss of range; to make sure you will fly safely, always perform a range check prior to flight, just as you would do with a “full length” antenna.
