I've converted all three of our Futaba 3VCS Transmitter to 2.4ghz now
so no longer need the original tx aerial fitted to the case.

I've seen many other users with the aerial removed and a plug/blank fitted !

I've looked around but can't find anything !

Can someone point me in the right direction or suggest where to look !

Cheers

then i would remove the end out of the black one ( or whatever colour you wanted to use ) like this,

then remove your aerial and push the plug in like in pic below, you shouldnt even need any glue as its a nice tight fit,

i didnt push mine right in as i sometimes use the 40meg module and as such need the aerial

i stuck a red one in here so you can see it better but i didnt push it all the way in as i dont want it in there permanently, lol
it would go up to the ridge you can see about 2mm off being fully in,
