A final note, the U.FL cable connectors are relatively delicate especially when removing or inserting on the board connector. Take your time and don't pull the cable to remove, use a tiny tool and gently pry loose at the connector head. And when inserting, the alignment has to be spot on or you will splay the connector part on the cable. Always use your finger to insert because you usually won't do damage because you will know exactly the pressure needed to make it "pop" when properly inserted. If you didn't feel the "pop", it's probably not inserted properly and if you applied too much pressure the connector is probably damaged.
BTW - the board side connector is very durable and can't really be damaged, the cable side connector is what is fragile.
We also need to figure out a cable management plan because this won't survive a couple trips to your local flying place. I have duct tape over the LED hood holding the cables in place for now, but any suggestions on a more elegant solution?
