You can use Alu or like mine Carbon 2,5mm - works perfekt

Tony he he. I see the point

just think this is IT compared to the picture I added

Maybe a hint , try out 1.5 cm hole distance and forget the main antenna in the bottom when use the 2.4G module

Just made mine, I made a series of holes so you can change balance, where it is now works perfect for me

That's the design ! Doesn't twist the stud out of the case. I'd buy one of those.

I wonder if the DX7 adapters would fit the 12/14mz series...

The answer is no. The eyelet where it mounts is 90 degrees off between JR and Futaba.

Having the same problem with my 14MZ feels quite unatural when I used it last weekend. Futaba shuld have put a balance adapter with the TM14 set to be honest. Hope they release something soon.

I made this a few weeks back on one rainy Sunday. I'll get exact measurements later tonight.

Used 10mm diam AL rod, slit 3mm on TX side, and 3.125mm on carbon side.
It's 22mm from center of hole to hole (vertical piece attatch to TX), but it could be 5mm shorter to make it easy to fit to TX case.
Carbon plate is 28mm between center of holes. The hole of neck strap hole is 7mm, so carbon plate was somewhere 12mmX35mm.

My 14mz is worse. I removed the metal antenna ball because of ahestetics and it lean down even more than your tx.

I initially though it wouldn't be a big deal since I'm a thumber but actually it makes a diference... from time to time the radio starts slipping backwards while I'm flying.

Doesn't make a difference to me. I hate the straps I always feel like when I bend over my radio is going to hit the blades. I don't use them.

This is my simplified copy of Parrich_

The transmitter feels right with the hook at about 3 cm back. This is seriously antenna down when just hanging from the strap. It feels right when bouncing off of my belly. It is about where Parrich_ has his in the photo above.

Mine is a little more archaic when compared to yours but here it goes:
