Default Broken Antenna

I broke the antenna on my KO Propo EX-1. Can it be fixed as not even they make a replacement. It appears that the solder simply came undone. I tried to upload a picture but it wouldn't allow me. I'll gladly email it to one of you.

If it is just a simple wire soldered to the board you can replace that, I found some youtube videos some time back when I had to do a fix on a spektrum receiver.

You basically tin up the wire and get it nice and stiff and then line it up on the hole on the board and apply quick heat from the bottom passing the wire through trimming off the extra.

Search for the video if you have the DIY spirit otherwise find a solder pro in the area to help.

hey, you can probably have a mod change that trader rating, as there was no deal, so no rating should have sen left.

but in the future, if you commit to buy, you should.
