Default Sky Master F-18 Antenna Position

I do not wish to use the whip antenna unless it is absolutely necessary and from looking at some of you who own these jets neither do you. I am trying to find the best way to run this antenna inside the fuse, not much documentation or pics on routes any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I think the wipe antenna is not look good but will make the plane safer. I have it in mine F-18 too.

You could always go with a revolution antenna and mount it under the canopy.

Its base loaded, so its smaller. We have had success with them in the King Cat and the Eurosport mounted horizontally on the side of the fuse inside the aircraft below the canopy. I plan on mounting one this way in my SM F-15 as well.

I like the Sky Master antenna too and it really isn't that noticeable, but I haven't heard of anyone mounting one inside the aircraft.
