I've had my receiver antenna mounted with single zip-ties, which I've found are very brittle and snap easily, which resulted in the ends of my antenna getting chopped off. For the time being, I've doubled-up on the zip-ties, in the hope that if one breaks, the other will keep the antenna out of the propellers' path. (I'm also having difficulty getting they to stay splayed out at 90 degrees.
Is less brittle brand of zip-tie, or a better way to mount these?
On a related note, I'm guessing this receiver is toast? I lost the heatshrink at the ends and one of the white antenna ends, but it was still flying fine for maybe a dozen sessions. Then I lost the other white end, and it could still fly just fine... up until it would go into failsafe mode and drop the ground when I would go around small obstacles. I've replaced it, but just wondering if I could replace just the wire at the ends?
