Default Using a Deans Antenna on RX

I've got several little 40-size planes, and the darn antenna wire is always too long. I'm always racking my brain trying to figure out a way to route the long antenna lead and secure it to the plane without letting it get damaged.

I am NOT willing to just let it flap around in the breeze behind the plane. They get ripped up and damaged that way--and I don't like replacing amtennas.

Anyone ever used one of these:

I could cut off the existing antenna and mount this little antenna on the top of the turtledeck on most of my planes.

Any problems using these? Hows the reception?

Thanks
