I have taken my drone completely apart to replace the shell and I'm trying to get it back together and I need to know how exactly I hook the antennas back up that are on the legs each antenna has a # on it 1-4 they have a certain leg they go in in and then I need to know where I hook them up to on the bottom of the drone in the little box I'm not sure what you call it. I'm new to the whole drone flying just so everyone knows. I need help thanks in advance

The Lightbridge antennas are pretty easy but care is needed with the wires to the compass and fitting them in with the antenna.
Here are a couple of pics of the "Light bridge" module open. I replaced them with a pair of

It's a good idea to take a few pics of your phantom before you go about dismantling it... might help you next time
Good Afternoon Grammaton..... What did you do with excess braided antenna wire ?
S
Stuffed it into leg area. Would have cut and soldered and still might if it shows that would improve it, but ddn't want to break shielding . (UPDATE REPORT) Pulled excess cable from legs and cut, soldered to shorter length removing 6 inches of cable.

I bought unassembled connectors (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SUY1VS8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)and could shorten length of cable
Wow... You guys are awesome... How do you ever find this stuff ??? Anyhow... I've bookmarked the item in case I need them. Have a good one !!
Edit... Was wondering how you like your antenna setup.
Actually this connector (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VUCARMI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) is easier to deal with, so I bought some more
