Second antenna sideways

I didn't have any chance to do a range check yet, so maybe someone here did.

I replaced my main antenna on my 7E with a standard screw-in antenna.
I also installed a CC2500 module for frsky. I soldered the old stock antenna to that and put it across the top of the transmitter, so that the actual (non-shielded) antenna piece is in the top right of the transmitter, oriented sideways. I taped it against the top of the transmitter case so it doesn't bounce around or get deformed.

Does anyone have any experience with that? Any problems/range issues?

Hi,

I don't have.

But I would welcome a dual diversity antenna concept for the Devo 10 like the Spektrum DX9 / DX18 has

Greetings

This is the way I have the fullsize dipol antenna of my NRF24 in the case. No issues, good range even at lower RF output.
