Transmitter Antenna Connection

I noticed another post about always making sure that the antenna on your transmitter is fully extended. In addition to that, always make sure that the base of the antenna is completely tight and flush where it threads inside the transmitter (Laser 6) or wherever yours connects. Mine had gradually loosened and I didn't notice for a while because the HiTech Laser 6 has a plastic sleeve that protrudes from the top which sort of braced it. After a crash and some other intermittent erratic bahavior, I discovered it was loose and am confident that it may have contributed to some earlier control issues and crashes. Before each flight, I always just grab the very bottom of the shaft right at the plastic sleeve and give it tightening check. One thing's for sure, I know that won't be the cause of control issues or crashes in the future.
