with regards to the aerial on the 3vc i found that with the spektrum system that even though yes it has a guard on the rear when you place the handset down on your table or such it is always resting on the aerial joint ( where it bends )and that the guard actually places pressure on that joint where it is a bit tight. And due to this it eventually snapped the aerial joint and what with the availability of the aerials at the time i had a job to get another one but once i did i modified the handle on the 3vc to protect the aerial more by removing the guard and rotating it so that it points downwards rather than to the top so that the bar is actually keeping the table surface away from the aerial joint when it is placed down and when it is put in the case it does the same ( especially if you have a tight case ) and no pressure is applied to the aerial from it either.
