Sometimes you struggle to find that perfect spot for your RX antenna, and sometimes even your VTX antenna. I stumbled across these a while back and have been using them on pretty much every build. Little G10 mount to help you position your fpv antenna where you need. Screw them to an m3 hole on the edge of your fame and this gives you a secure spot to mount the RX antenna or VTX pigtail. I mount mine on the 2 rear stand off top plate screws and then use a cable tie looped through the larger hole and heatshrink the antenna to the cable tie. I have only seen them at Buzzhobbies, http://buzzhobbies.com.au/index.php?rout...uct_id=223 At 78 cents US a piece it is nothing.

If you have access to a 3D printer, you could quickly print out a dozen or so... Not exactly the same, but it should work (2mm thick, btw). Just uploaded it to thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1643292 (Let me know if it needs to be modified - it be easy.)

Nice one ..Thanks for that..Will stock up now, and make coloured ones. • Posts: 2,416 Threads: 51 Likes Received: 1,861 in 1,175 posts Likes Given: 3,315 Joined: Mar 2016 Reputation: 74 (24-Jun-2016, 11:05 PM)BigglesFPV Wrote: Nice one ..Thanks for that..Will stock up now, and make coloured ones. Well, print "one" first and check the dimensions. Let me know if holes too big, too small, correct distance apart, etc. I don't have one to measure, but it's painless for me to modify the model. • Posts: 918 Threads: 83 Likes Received: 533 in 271 posts Likes Given: 498 Joined: Jan 2016 Reputation: 30 25-Jun-2016, 01:26 AM (This post was last modified: 25-Jun-2016, 01:43 AM by BigglesFPV.)

No problem, I will get the calipers out and measure the original I have, and let you know. Don't mind my quick and dirty scratches on your nice diagram. • Posts: 2,416 Threads: 51 Likes Received: 1,861 in 1,175 posts Likes Given: 3,315 Joined: Mar 2016 Reputation: 74 Thanks! I thought my antenna hole was a bit big. Model adjusted - added V2 file at thingiverse link above. (Everything else was very very close.) Here's the revised snapshot: • Posts: 918 Threads: 83 Likes Received: 533 in 271 posts Likes Given: 498 Joined: Jan 2016 Reputation: 30 Doh! Had already downloaded version 1 and printed.

Edit Reason: More - I'll stop now.... ) V3 and V3thin (1.6mm) added. I suspect these will be too fragile, unless maybe printed in ABS or Nylon. (Couldn't leave well-enough alone... ) (What the heck! V2thin too....I'll stop now....)
