Default Dropped transmitter

Hi all,

I'm looking for some opinions here:

While flying on Saturday, I tripped over something (no plane in the air, just walking backwards while holding my transmitter), and in a fine example of athletic prowess, managed to land flat on my back with my transmitter at my side. My antenna was extended at the time, and was a little crooked, which I was able to straighten (I did order another antenna though, to be on the safe side). It doesn't look like anything else is wrong with the TX, and I did get one more flight in and it seemed to work fine (after range checking on the ground again), but is there anything else I need to worry about? There were no visible signs of damage, or audible noise as if anything is loose...

So, I am looking for opinions (other than that I shouldn't walk backwards, and need to pay attention to where I am going! :-) - is this something I should worry about, or not? Like I said, it seems ok...

Thanks!
