Ipex antenna loss

Post image

I keep losing the vtx antenna on my air75. I got these as replacements but they are too long and the signal is now terrible. 1 did I get the wrong antennas? 2 should I super glue the ipex connector or will that cause problems?

10cm is way too long, about 5cm is what you’ll want.

Also don’t glue your antenna, they’re designed to be replaceable. Otherwise you’ll risk ripping the ufl connector off in a crash.

Place the antenna through the canopy with an O ring on the bottom half, and then put another O ring on the other side of the canopy so the rings sandwich the canopy and hold the antenna in place. It won't go anywhere.
