    Use an antenna from a wifi router. Works great. Same internal connector, same frequency.

    Just add zip ties or tape.

    Or order a replacement. I bought mine from Altigator. Got it in about 7 days even coming from overseas. They seem to always have Graupner parts in stock.

    I too ordered a new OEM replacement from Graupner USA, but I did not want to wait 3 days to fly.

    I hope this info could help others that might become grounded.

    Matt, good suggestion. When I ordered mine from Sandy at Graupner USA they were not stocking them. After 8 weeks of delays from Graupner DE on shipping them I went to Altigator. Mine broke at the pivot point and for temporary use I put on some shrink wrap. Couldn't bend it but it worked fine.

    Boy, you guys are hard on the antennae....what are you doing with them? Using them to remove stones from horse's hooves? :)
