Only time I ever had any problem, was on a 97" Laser I bought. It was
covered in blue metallic, and the previous owner had about 3 different
sites he apparently used to position the antenna inside the fuselage
When I ran it (antenna) inside, I couldn't get any range outside of my
hat. So, I did what Tom does, ran it outside. Absolute end of
problems. I asked the previous owner, and he said that he "sometimes
had a few glitches" I'll bet!<br>

P.S.: I'd heard this about metallics blocking reception for years, but
someone said "not true!" He said that the metallic wasn't really
metal, but plastic. Now, I don't believe I'm buying that!<br>

you want to use. What I use is stirrer straw material from the local
coffee shop, at around<br>
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.<br>

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