RedBaron said:Yes, this is the one in the bird. Used a sharp exacto knife and took my time. Repeat, "took my time". Came out nice and clean.

Well done, Red; good job, sir.
I'm going to have to face the prospect of doing that to my Phantom sooner or later, because there's no way .... I said NO WAY that I'm going to splice the cables when I fit my aircraft side antennae.
I've got too many other mods to do to the bird at the moment though, so, I'm not in any rush, eh? :lol:

Thanks for the "heads up", Randy.
I did know about the Ebay offer, but I'm hoping I won't have to use it. I'm going to try and do the mod myself because ....
1. I enjoy a challenge.
2. I did manage to remove the antenna cable from my RC controller.
I know that the card in the bird is going to be harder because the cables are glued down with black epoxy (not silicone), but I plan to take my time and hopefully with patience; a magnying glass; a sharp modelling knife and some acetone, I can succeed this time as well.
Wish me luck.
