- Solder (preferred) or crimp the connector pin to the antenna wire and apply a 0.5 inch piece of heat shrink tubing.
- Glue or tape the antenna body to your model aircraft. Best range is achieved by running the antenna wire vertically.
- Always range check your aircraft before flying. Check with and without the motor running.
