I have an AR7000 receiver and between handling/crashing/repairing it seems like the antenna wires are always bent and screwy. Tonight I noticed the "little guy" that I keep on the outside of the heli had some nicks in the insulation and some bare wire showing. So, I had some 1/8" heat shrink in the tool box and covered the wires. It seems to work fine and it adds some rigidity to hold them out straight. Just wondering if I've committed a cardinal sin as far as reception goes or if I should be fine. I'm not going to fly the thing 1000' away, it's hard enough to see at 100'.

It will be fine.

Thanks, Pinecone! I'll remember not to kick one of your relatives the next time I see one laying along the sidewalk.
