Thank You.
Antenna is about 75% inside, with only 25% exiting aft of the cockpit. The radio frequency is 6 meters (50 MHz). If there was to be a problem, I would have expected a much shortened range, (especially off the nose or tail) but it flew as long as I could see it. I do understand that being a longer wavelength that the 72, results may be slightly different, but I would expect the difference between the two frequencies to be negligable(sp). Perhaps one caveat, is the monokote is put on in panels, not one continuous sheet, but again, at these frequencies, I would not expect the RF to notice that.

Hello Les,
Ah! ___the cat is out of the bag ___Hee! Hee! ___LOL
No more wondering is needed.
You are a ham and using the 6 meter band like I used to do with some of my home brew radios in the good old days.
Beside having the covering in sectons likely insulated from each other by the glue on overlaps, It is not likly that any of the covering areas are resonating to 6 meter range.
Perhaps you also are using much higher power like I used to with about 5 watts in the antenna.
Thanks for your post. 73
