This is not really a repair, but a modification that I hope will make installation of the AR6250 carbon receive a little flexible. The project is inspired by this thread.

I have a Spektrum AR6250 that I want to install in a hand launch glider.  For CG purposes I try to keep all radio components as far forward as possible, but having the antennas sticking out of a carbon pod in the nose makes hand catches a little tricky.  

Extending the antennas so they can exit the pod under the wing solves this problem.  It seems the original poster of the thread got out of Spektrum altogether, so not sure if anyone else has tested this solution.  The connectors plug in fine, I added a bit of hot glue for strain relief, and also reversed the direction the antennas exit to better suit my plane's configuration.  

The rest of the plane is still under construction, so it may be a little while before it gets tested, but just wanted to pass on an idea that, in principle, should work.

I bought the items referenced in the first post of the above thread.

Forgot to take pictures before taking the receiver apart (first one is the stock image from the manufacturer.) In the second picture, you can see the original, shorter antennas and how much length is gained with the new ones.  Don't forget to strip off the shielding in the last 31mm!
