hey everybody. I have an emax pagoda 2 on my first quad build right now. Reception is great, but after flying for about an hour yesterday I noticed how flexible and bendable the antenna is. It makes me concerned for its durability. If I coat the entire shaft of the antenna in a layer of hot glue to add some rigidity to it will that mess with how well the antenna works? Or is there any other tips/tricks that you know to strengthen them? It’s alresdy on a pigtail so no worries about ripping it out of the vtx, just don’t wanna replace antennas all the time either
 
Best tip i know for the pagoda's is use the long ones, the stubby's seem to break easie,r otherwise, they are good antennas
 
Do you know if coating the shank in glue would interfere with the signal? Or would it be ok as long as I don’t cover the disks?
