Oversky DSMX receiver tips

The Oversky MUL-A flightcontroller that I bought from hobbyking is shipped with a 7 channel DSMX receiver. But in package there is no manual on how to use, bind or install the dsmx module.

Some information on this receiver can be found on the Oversky webpage. The RX module is this one: 7CH RX module.

the small button on the RX module is the BIND button.

The DMSX module should be installed with the antenna's to the back. But you will notice that this is almost impossible because the antenna will touch the LED module. You can force the antenna on top op the LED module, but I noticed that the antenne will pop of and disconnect very easily.
I also tried to install the RX module and turning the antenna to the left and right from the LED module. But this causes the antenna to be forced and making a large forced curve directly behind the UFL connecter. In long term this will damage the antenne. This is again not a good solution. So my conclusion is that this is a huge design flaw! Bad points for Oversky and hobbyking. But there is a very easy and cheap solution for this issue. Just buy some 2mm headers to extend the RX module connector on the FC board. This will give you extra space and you can install the antenna without touching the LED module.
This is an example of the header that you need : Econ FHS43S5G
