Most antenna cables are epoxied to the fuselage at several locations and can't be simply "replaced", also a new cable must be secured at several locations in order to keep it from flopping around or it could get tangled up with the elevator push-rod, couldn't it? Also, even it I replaced the whole cable I would still have to connect it to the antenna with a BNC, wouldn't I? Ever try to install a BNC inside a fin? I have and decided connecting the two cables at the point of the repair is the best way to go. Just before closing the two halves of the fuselage, I will goop up the BNC's & TE tube and secure them to one side with a string that goes outside so that I can pull them tight and they can't "rattle around" inside the fuselage. This is not my first rodeo, JJ |
