Dumb question about the antenna wire...

[Kaoma]

:confused:
I'm just about ready with my ArtHobby Hyper 1.5M plane and since it has a CF tail boom, how/where do I route my antenna wire from the pod?
Please help. Thanks.

If you fly on 72MHZ go ahead and run it down the tail boom. For more information check the following;

Read the post about antennas in carbon fuselages.

there are many that claim to have problems and many that dont ,if you do a complete range check and things seem fine ,then you are one of the latter,

if you do have trouble,im told that all is needed is to insulate the ant.wire from the c/f boom ,,,again ,,,a full range check!!

i have had 5 gliders sooo far with c/f booms and on all of them i just run the wire down the centre of the boom and have never had a glitch,,,maybe i just hold my tongue out the right side when i fly?? lol
