I need another u.fl connector-based antenna for the ground station XBee Pro modem. I found some at Sparkfun. Per advice, the best plan is to go for the cable and duck route. All of the electronics will be boxed to make them easier to shield from the high current wiring from the batteries to the ESC to the motors.
My current plan is to use:
SMA duck antenna
u.fl to SMA cable

Cheap RC and carbon fiber
Ok, this will be quick. Do not buy cheap RC electrical connectors. Get good gold plated, high current connectors for your EDF project. Make sure that you shrink wrap them so that they do not spark across each other. Remember, 6s and 50A is welding current level. Just be careful, better to fly next month than to miss it because you grounded out your ESC and motor.
Also, put paper down where ever you are working with carbon fiber materials. If you cut on them or somehow scratch them, you will get broken fibers and that means that you will have hundreds or thousands of terribly painful little daggers waiting to find your skin. Don't sit on your work area, just let us agree to this. It will teach you not to do it twice. Just say no.
