Default RE: Foil covering, reception inhibitor?


ORIGINAL: WVrailfan



I have a friend who is contemplating covering a foam parkflyer with aluminum tape used on HVAC duct work. He is looking for a more bare metal look than he can get with paint.

Any ideas regarding how this may affect reception? He is flying with a Spektrum 5 ch TX and his plane is a Parkzone with a Spektrum receiver.

Thanks for any insight.
