So, the EPLRS antenna is about 2' long, correct?

What about the regular antennas? How long are they?

Robert,
Yes, EPLRS about 2' long, normal antenna about 8' long. In 1/35, I usually go 3/4" for EPLRS and about 2 1/2" for radio antenna.

Thanks Gino. This is one of my favorite parts, because it means I am nearing the end.

Sorry Gino, Sir, but is your 2 1/2" antenna measurment for the newer smaller antennas or the longer antenna's? I, myself, know the difference. I can just walk out my office door and take a walk in the motorpool and get measurements of either antenna, but some guys don't know that there are two types.

Sorry, bad habit (well good habit)! I'm just a Buck Sargent, I still have to show my respect. Besides, I feel bad calling him Gino, the same goes with Rob.

Gino is fine here. That measurement is for the older style, thick fiberglass antennas. The thinner, wire style are shorter, I would only go about 2" on them. How does that sound Pete?
