I try to route my receiver antenna wire through an existing hole or exit in the fuselage whenever possible.

On my Extra 300S, I used the existing elevator control rod slot in the fuselage for my antenna exit hole. I have a long piece of stiff copper wire that I first run through the control rod slot into the fuselage and then solder the end to the receiver antenna wire. The copper wire is then pulled back out the slot and cut away from the antenna wire.
