here's my antenna mod. i used an old cell phone antenna and a jumper (hard drive). i just "plug" it in to play and then take it off for storage. the range is about the same - 7 feet. but i have not done the transmitter antenna mod yet.

Antennas and such
What you guys are talking about is a base loaded antenna. The micro RC flyer guys have been using them for years. Youcan make a baseloaded internal antenna using wrapping wire (from RS) and one of those coffe stirrers that look like a small straw. The critical attribute to any antenna is length. Changing the length of the antenna can adversely affect reception.
For more info on base loaded antennas, go to http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/index.php?topic=ezone
and do a search on "base loaded antenna".
I am doing a base loaded antenna for my mod. I am going to make a contact on the chassis (and body) from copper foil (and contacts for the LEDs as well), this way, I can switch bodies without having to undo the wires.

I was just wondering, is this ACTUAL copper? I took it from a wire I had laying around my room-I think its from a pair of headphones.

I wrapped the wires around eachother, and they didn't improve my range, I don't think that they are actual copper, but I'm not sure.

Are you asking me? If you are, I just wrapped it around the end of the antenna wire. I stripped some of the coating off.
