The pin had somehow fallen out of the antenna joint on my DX5e, meaning the end piece would often come loose while setting the angle. I wasn't sure where I could find a replacement pin and didn't want to have to buy a whole antenna replacement kit.
Foraging around in the cupboard I came across a cheap household fasteners kit, which included a slim black nail, a near perfect fit for the hole, slightly tight so it wouldn't fall out. It was a little too long, but a quick trim with a pair of side cutters sorted that out.
Now the DX5e's antenna's sorted out, I hope I can fix the chatter issue with a bit of a clean-up of the aileron potentiometer...
