hey guys.
i’ve tried making myself a few “loaded” aerials for my mini z. so far the results are good. what i did was go into supercheap and check out some of their 27MHz aerials for the CB’s. there were some bottom loaded, some mid loaded and to my amazement there were some that were both! anyone know whats up with that?! anywho i went into my local dick smith and bought some enamled wire and rigged one up.
im not sure if its just the larger amount of wire, but i was getting great results with 1/20 wavelength bottom loaded. 1/10 was far too long. my steering no longer jitters, and my z doesnt go out of control and tear itself to bits! it seems to be a great setup. im still playing around with the lengths and the diameter of the coils so i guess testing is not over
has anyone tried anything different or got different/ better results? i have heard that there is also an optimum diameter for the coils to be. anyone know how that works?
