So, I got really sick of using plastic straws to hold my antennas vertical and straight. Not to mention, every time one kinked I had to go to a gas station and get a coffee mixing straw. Not only is the straw hideous and annoying, but theoretically speaking, almost any shape is better than a cylinder in terms of efficiency and aerodynamics! So, I got to work... The first few versions printed great, however in CFD software they proved to have hysteresis, at pretty much any Reynolds-number range... I switched to more of a symmetrical airfoil. Theoretical speaking, it should be more aerodynamic than a straw, or even just your straight antenna. Practically speaking, who knows how much is actually saved by using these, and who cares?? Your FPV and/or UAV airframe is going to look totally sweet with those faired antennas!
Included is the .stl for Both a large and small fairing. The small is just perfect for a DragonLink 1/2-wave vertical dipole antenna. The larger one is more universal, an
