are the stock antenna for the rc the same as for the sc?

are you ready to upgrade your rc to alientech, now might get a good time.

The standard RC that came with the non Enterprise V1 aircrafts has fixed foldable antennas, if these are broken I think it's time to buy a secondhand V1 RC from someone that lost the drone, this might be less complicated. Else do a crash course in soldering fine electronics. If you can get the standard screw-fittings on your RC, you then could buy new V1 antennas like those for a Live Deck or the Smart Controller. Those antennas should be more powerful as a bonus. Or even think like ken, and go to next level with alientech.

for example the V1 type antennas are available via:
Adorama or Madison

Hi,
1. just buy spare RCv1 on ebay - the most simple way
2. If you would like to fix your drone - no soldering needed. You need:
- IPEX to RP-SMA Female Pigtail Cable
- RP-SMA antenna
- T6 screwdriver
- PH00 screwdriver or similar

Examples of kits:
RP-SMA pigtails with antennas:

Can you post a photo of what broke? I replaced my stock antenna with a 4 Hawks antenna and I should still have the parts it replaced.

Hi, thanks for the post.
I broke it at the pin location, so half the pin is missing...have currently ( shamefully), glued it, however of course it only sits in one position....but i have jobs to do and need to find a quick fix and a long term solution. Was hoping that i could fix or find another controller to purchase...however I am told that it has to be an exact model # match and I seem to be an Ef7-1 and most are EF7 only....Could buy a new drone but really love this one....has been a workhorse for two years now with minimal issues...

I have V1s so I assume the antenna would be the same. I found this pic from when I installed the 4Hawks. Now I just need to find the antennas. I'll look tonight, and let you know.

EDIT: I went to look and found them more quickly than I thought I might. Here are some add'l pics. Do you think they're a match? There are two diff versions; left and right. The wire on one is longer than the other.

HI, thanks so much for looking, they appear to be the same, however I am now thinking that maybe is should replace them with a better product.. My apologies for having you look for them...I am researching antennas currently to buy the best product.

No worries. Good luck
