Default RE: any problems with this antenna set-up??

Id suggest wrapping it around the horisontal tail fin and through the tail servo mount and back then once you don't have enough to wrap it around the servo mount again wrap it around the fin until you have no wire left except 1in. take that and tape it so it's pointing straight up. just make sure the wire is secured as if it gets loose that tail rotor will eat it up.

PS: i've gotten range of 300-500 feet with this method. must've gotten lucky (just make sure you have new batteries and the controller tip isn't pointed any where near the heli. if it's above you point it towards the ground, if it's infron of you point is straight up. )
