Well, after much research I decided to mount my Comant bent whip on the centerline about six inches ahead of the spar. Everything looks terrific except for one small problem. The connector is directly underneath the bottom tip of the control stick. Once I get the little 90 degree adapter on there, the clearance between stick and connector is about 3/4 inch. I just don't like the idea of such a non-movable object protruding so close to the bottom of the stick. One option is to relocate the stick and fill the holes (not my first choice). The other is to figure out some sort of low profile wat to attach the antenna cable. I can easily put a small stud on the antenna doubler and connect the sheild with a crimp-on ring terminal, the problem is in finding a way to connect the center conductor. What I'd like best is a way to have a stud coming straight out of the antenna. I'm hoping somebody has a great idea because I really don't want to move my antenna.
