These are dead simple to make at home, you just need to buy a bunch of right angle SMA connectors from the 'bay, some single core wire from maplin and an old rc car antenna tube.

Here's a tutorial (http://www.fpvmanuals.com/2011/03/23/make-your-own-lrs-rx-antennas-sander-style-and-turn-style/)

BTW i asked Sander at IRC and he said that the length specified in the tutorial is fine for 433mHz and 459mHz

Cheers. I've ordered some sma connectors.

Just need to find some antenna tubes / pushrod sleeve at a reasonable price.
