What do you think about a carbon tube over the coax to keep it straight? It shouldn't change anything significantly, right?

It should not.

Hugo.
I bought a 1.2 Windmill about 5 months ago, and used it on my Lawmate (1.280) 1.2ghz VidTx,
will this Windmill I have work on the new RMRC

"Now includes the original 1280MHz, along with the new 1258MHz frequencies! "

I want to tryout the newer 1.258 freq.

thanks much

Yes, it will work, on 1240 as well.

i would like to make this antenna, the closest i found in my garage is welding wire from steel with copper clad but its 1.2mm and i would like to make an antenna for 2450mhz what would the dimensions be?

All the information on making a windmill is over here. I made a 1280 one last month and it works great.

i cannot find the wire needed for this antenna, i have 0.8mm wire but its the wrong wire, you cant even make a straight line with it so i would like to know howmuch % i must change to the dimensions for the 2440mhz

with a linear antenna like a dipole or inverted v is a patch or biquad best to use for directional use?

i cannot figure out if a biquad is linear or CP? (i am ignorant with this )

A biquad is linear, along with a Vee it make a good linear combo.

ISI, PMed you.

Hugo

Thanks

Hugo,

for Ground use (Summit) will a "V" work ok on the truck (vidTx)?
or shall I use the original (stock) 1.2ghz Lawmate VidTx antenna that came with it?

am planning on using BiQuad on VidRx from RMRC.

Yes, the Vee will do great on the truck.

I have a question about fastening the antenna to a surface. I use 910mhz fans on a flying wing, it is mounted slightly above the surface. I see two options here: leave it glued only at the coax, and the antenna to flop around, touching the laminate at one or two places; (even though it's stiff, the 100km/h wind makes it flop around no matter what) or, place dabs of hot glue at 3 to 5 outside lower corners to prevent it wobbling around. Which is better?

You can use glue, on 900Mhz it have little effect. Tape it down couls be another more removable idea.

Thank you very much! And thanks for the fast reply!
