I was looking for a antenna that is a bit more sturdy robust than the aomway antenna, so I ordered a DYS CP from banggood. Here is a quick comparison between the Aomway and DYS antenna and it actually looks like the DYS is doing better than the aomway

yeah, that is the antenna. It is not as though is I thought it would be. I had the case open due to a prop strike, but I taped it up with some electrical tape. I think t will hold just fine if you tape it before you use it. I am waiting for a Foxeer antenna as well which i will try do a similar test with, as well as a TBS triumph borrrowed from a friend in the near future..

The VRX was the Realacc RX5808 diversity without the second module (non diversity) paired with a Aomway antenna. I'm waiting for a immersion RC patch antenna to fit on the diversity module.

You can further enhance your antenna with "fibre tape" Smile
I wrap the antenna housing with fibre tape, and they can literally last years with many crashes. I am still on my first/2nd set of antennas from 2 years ago...

My idea (as I really like the Aomway atennas): 3D printed case for it with some polyurethane foam in it. This should be indestructible. The foam is not conductive so it shouldn't reduce the range. Am I missing something?

I found a video on youtube where a guy used gorilla glue mixed with water to make a foam-like substance he used on the lobes of the antenna and made a kind of ball of this sticky stuff. When it was cured, it was hard and light. I have ordered some gorilla glue to try this out myself. I couldn't find the video right now Sad
