The RDQ VM275T looks like it has a short direct-soldered antenna. How did you get yours to reach the hole at the back of the canopy?
Haven't had the chance to update the build list recently. I ended up using a Shinehole camera from Amazon, same basic design as the 275T but it has a ufl dipole which reaches back quite nicely
