It's pretty easy to do with the m8. Just have to take the back off the radio, and take apart the rx. The antenna wire on the rx has a clip that clips onto the board so no soldering. But you do have to use an exacto and cut a very small hole in the edge of the rx case where they come together. My buddy took some pics of how to do it I'll see if he'll put a link up. It's nice b/c now I can lay my radio down without worry of hurting the antenna on the module.
