Default Spektrum DX6i water proofing

I am changing my planes to a Spektrum DX6i, in the past I have done the Corosion X treatment on the recievers and wrapped them etc., is there any special thing to do on the Spektrum recievers? Since there are two components to these recievers and the small antennas I don't feel comfortable covering them up. Had our annual "Penguin Fly" on New Years Day, weather-cold, chilli-hot, good turn-out, and floats work great in the snow.

The issue with the Spektrum receivers are the wiskers, yo uhave to let them hang out. I suggest a small zip lock bag or simply a fold of seran wrap. You can use some good in the seams to seal them. I would do something where you can see the receivers so you know if water or moisture got in.
