You'd have to go back a LOT further than 20 years - the telescoping antenna has been around at least 50 or more years. For R/C use - as we kind of know it now - the telescoping antenna was already a tried and true technology. My issue is not with technology. The problem I see is with the packaging and in this particular case, the issue is that small SMA connector to wire connection - wasn't designed to withstand mechanical stress no matter how much heat shrink you put on it. Simple repackaging makes the previously referred to "interim solution" more usable than a stop gap - in fact quite usable and durable.
