having the antenna mounted on the module isn't ideal -- at least from a mechanical perspective.

this is my opinion as well. i start with the antenna mounted on the backside of the module but the handling is not really comfortable this way.

another idea is to use this antenna and place the assan module inside the transmitter. the original antenna must be replaced with this one.. this should work as well i suppose...

Now that you have received V2, let us hear whether V2 is BETTER OR WORSE THAN THE ORIGINAL?

I am more interested in finding out if V2 TX is compatible with V1 receivers, those previously sold under various brands such as iMAX, HobbyKing, Turnigy, FlySky, all manufactured by the same maker FlySky.

Unfortunately I've lost a couple of days because I had to take my wife to a specialist (six hours of driving) for ongoing treatment for severe injuries she suffered in an accident exactly a year ago. I'm back on the job now though!

I received the "v2" without the 2.4ghz module and antenna too. Even thus I ordered the one with module and antenna.. might even be a v1 I wouldn't know.
It has bugs like saying "mode 1" when i have mode 2 selected, or beeping and not saving when I go into the main menu directly at startup.

I am wondering about the alternative firmwares, which one is "the best" (most complete/easy or just a subjective best) and how dangerous is it to use it? Can it "brick" the radio or it's always recoverable?
How do you really make the connector? Articles are not very accurate and it seems that you need to know what you're doing beforehand.. I can solder and stuff but i've no experience into hacking the radio and connectors (I found that at best but.. it doesnt tell what you connect on the PC side: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/r ... nstall_ISP)

Thanks
