So I’m getting along nicely now and ready for the planking but I have an electronics query. Please bear in mind I am completely new to R/C build. The instructions state to solder a piece of antenna cable to the antenna. At the end of the cable solder a plug to your receiver. Can anyone embellish on this for me please and apologise if it seems a silly question.
I’ve included a photo of my receiver. It came from my lifeboat.


Thanks,
Matt

These instructions will have been written when everyone used 27MHz or 40MHz. These receivers used a long single aerial wire often stretched out on the superstructure. Some split the wire to make it easier to unplug and remove the superstructure. You appear to be using 2.4GHz so have much shorter aerial wires. You will not need to split the wires so ignore those instructions.

That’s great Jim, so no soldering cable or plugs etc? Thanks for the help.
