receiver antenna placement

[Bill Glaze]

On antenna placement:
I've known some of the giant scale guys, (I try to keep it quiet, though 
:-[ ) that run the antenna, (actually sometimes 2 antennas for 2 
receivers) outside along the bottom of the plane.  They then take a long 
strip of  covering material that matches the bottom of theplane, and 
iron the covering on, over the antenna.   Removable, if necessary, and 
also invisible to  sight.  Just an idea.  HTH
