Hey Chubster,

The antenna wire is 32mm long - and if you have a soldering iron it is replaceable with antenna wire available from your Local Hobby Shop.
If not, you don't really need it - but it will lower the range that your bird will pick up a radio signal from your Transmitter to around 30 metres (about 90 feet) Line Of Sight - so if you are not planning to try out the limits of flight, it should be OK as is[sm=wink_smile.gif].
The motor prob is a difficult one to diagnose from afar, but it is either the actual motor (to test this unplug the other motor - marking the way it is plugged into the 3in1) and plug "dead" motor into those pins...............) or more likely a dodgy/fried 3in1. Sorry. The easiest thing you can do is to order [link=http://cgi.ebay.com/ESky-001337-EK2-0709-3in1-3-1-Controller-Big-Lama-S-/130475241548?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e60ee304c#ht_1129wt_694]a replacement 3in1 from HongKong[/link] if this is the case[]

P.S. You may be able of get a 3in1 closer to your location - but [link=http://www.xheli.com/eskybiglama.html]Xheli.com[/link] is Out-Of-Stock of most parts for these
