Yes you can mate, its 433 like nearly all the rest so antennas for them are universal, but some are better than others

Please be aware that 433MHz is not legal in the UK for model control, however 459MHz is legal. I understand that you may be able to reprogramme the rangelink to make it legal. 433MHz is only legal for model to operator telemetry.

Sticking a transmitter over 25mW in the air isn't legal either.. I doubt anyone on this forum is flying 'legally' and it doesn't matter if you break the law by a whisker or a mile the punishment is the same.

Thousands of people have got illegal 433/2.4 video senders in their homes and high power wifi routers but they aren't all having their doors kicked in at 3am.

Just use common sense and avoid causing harm or interference and you'll be fine :)
