I am using Hitec radio and receiver, on spool the heli shakes alot and I seem to often get alot of radio interference... I am letting the antenna hang freely for now. any ideas on how to mount it?

Thanks

I used about a 3.5" piece of plastic tubing and coiled the antenna wire around it and simply taped the assembled antenna to one of the skids with small strips of glass reinforced strapping tape. Seems to work well.

This is what I did for the antenna

Micro Z-72 antenna

It works great and can be found here:

Definitely worth the money! If you use just the regular antenna there are limited mounting options because receivers glitch like CRAZY if you drape them around carbon fiber and the little HB has tons! The boom, the landing gear, the boom supports, the canopy mount, the flybar... Antennas hate carbon fiber!
