I used the RST Engineering kit for my antennas. They are the .5" copper
tape type. I glassed over them on inside of the fus and tail.
The COM is 20.3" on each leg and "V"ed at 10 to 30 degrees. I think it
makes a little bit of different in the length depending on how they are laid
out in relation to each other. There are 3 Ferrite Balun over the coax at
the antenna end. Mine seem to work well in all directions of flight.
