Greetings, i reshelled my banged up p3pro and one of the antennas broke off right at the plastic part that snaps into the leg.  It flies and sends video fine, but i havent done a range test (cuz im scared lol).  Is part of the antenna embedded inside the plastic, or does the plastic simply serve to secure the antenna wire...thanks in advance.

Yes when I get back home, thank you.  Basically the antenna wire just broke off RIGHT at the plastic part that slides into the leg.

Did it work after you glued it? It if doesn't, you can find spare parts online.

It seems to work fine but I expect the solder joint to fail.  I just didn't know if an important part of the antenna is embedded in the plastic or if the plastic simply serves as an anchor to keep the wire securely in place.  Got a new set coming.
