receiver antenna placement

[Thomas C. Weedon]

Just my personal opinion, but I hate to see an antenna hanging on the
outside of a plane. I always put it in the fuse, or on a scale job, I try to
disguise it as a scale antenna. I've never had any problems with recieving
the transmitter signal as some worry about.

  Does this all mean that "real pattern pilots" DON'T run their antenna
outside, connected someplace with a rubber band?

    Jon you would be fine with the set-up you want to use. What I use is
stirrer straw material from the local coffee shop, at around
    1/8" OD. I place about 5 straws on a rod, end to end, and tape the
joints. Then I route the straw in a convenient location. The important thing
to remember is the feeding of the antenna when you are installing the radio.

      Hi all, What is the best way to run the receiver antenna on a
composite
      fuse pattern plane? I am building a Temptation, I`m thinking of
putting
      the antenna in a tube inside the fuse. Will this work or will it
create
      radio reception problems? Any other ideas? Thanks Jon Wise
