I am building a couple of new 2 meter gliders for competition. Our competition requires the glider to have only 2 functions rudder and elevator, as we are restricted to 2 channels I only have need for a smaller receiver. Having used a Turnigy 9X transmitter for the last few years I would like to keep using the 9X system.
I found that the HobbyKing GT-2 2.4Ghz 3 channel receiver works great with the 9X transmitter, as it is a car receiver it's only good for close in flying, it's half the size of the Hobby King 2.4Ghz Receiver 6Ch V2 great size for a small size glider.
My question is: can I fit the tubular dipole antenna off the 9X or HK 6Ch V2 receivers to the GT-2 3Ch receiver? and, will it increase reception so I can use it at a greater distance. Lastly, where can I find a supply of tuned 2.4Ghz tubular Dipole antennas?
