    Slick antenna trick

    If you've been frustrated by trying to thread a Rx antenna through the tiny antenna tube hole buried inside the hull ( I have ), try this : press the antenna tube nut into a small piece of wood that you've drilled a hole in-slightly undersized,with a vice using a little sticky stuff around the nut. Then glue this inside the hull ( I use JB Quick) lined up by screwing the tube into it once it's in place inside hull. Carefull not to get sticky stuff on the threads. When sticky stuff cures, push the Rx antenna through the MUCH LARGER hole, slide the tube down over it & screw into hull. Thought I'd share this while building a boat for my friend Naveed to race in Az.
