RE: RX
Why would you do that? The antenna is tuned to the frequency its operating on.
Not sure what you're trying to accomplish. I have DX recievers burried in 50cc gas planes and a giant electric helicopter with carbon frames, at the ranges we operate, unless you enclose it in carbon fiber or a lot of metal, you're not going to have any problems as long as you're using the proper reciever for the application.
