Radio - Futaba FASST > Cover for Redundant Antena Slot on 14MZ

I have converted to the FASST system and so far (touch wood) it has been excellent. Someone told me that Futaba now includes a cover for the redundant antena slot as part of the module / receiver pack. Does anyone know if this is true, if so, how do I get one as mine was one of the first, it didn't have one!

Many thanks.

The hole where the antenna goes into the transmitter. I believe that there is a product that can cover the ball etc and make it look neater.

Great job, but I believe that Futaba do a cover. Does anyone know if you can buy it and if so, where from?

I just called Futaba support, they were extremely helpful and said they had a *lot* of requests for a cover.

The 12FG plastic cap will fit the 12Z. They offered to send me one for free (Thanks, Futaba!).

Probably not, the 14 has a "twist and turn" antenna connector, the 12Z and 12FG have a screw.
