Title: does your electric aerial work (poll)
Post by: robz on 26 January 2010, 15:07
not sure if this is a good place to put this or not, but thought as it concerned both mk2 and mk3 owners (did any others have electric aerials?) i thought it would get seen more,
just a poll to see how many electric aerials are still working..
dont think ive ever seen one work, lol!

mods - feel free to tell me off and move it to a more relevant section... cosmetic matters... wasnt sure, lol!

I've had 3 people ask me about this in the last week

They keep thinking the aerials on Mk3's are electric.. when they're not

ahhh, that might explain it then...
my radio signal is no different after cutting it off lol

i just saw all the cogs in there and thought that was the mech for sending it up, i might pull it apart to see, lol
it is/was a wing aerial - just a commen misconception, lol!
