Default RE: Simple Antenna Routing

Thanks Irish RSeer. I wanted to keep things "scale-looking" with the antenna inside. Ironically, I came across some pics of the full-sized "short fuse sallee" mustang and it has a cable running between the back part of the canopy and the tailfin. I wonder what that is for.

I have sorted out the thrustline problem too. I think it's got a few deg upthrust because the built in wooden rails for the engine were designed that way. Well, at least one person with a WM Mustang has that same situation and he's flies beautifully. I did get some free "scraps" of 1.5mm thickness silicon sheeting from a wholesaler and I cut them to the size of the wood rails and used them as vibration isolators between the engine and the rails. I decided to add 1 deg right thrust to counter the tendency for it to head left on the take-off roll. Just a week more to its maiden and then I'll know if I need to make more changes to the thrustline.
