Default Antenna location

Gary,

I have the antenna in my Kangaroo routed in the wing and I plan on doing the same thing in my Panther. What I did on my kangaroo was to run the antenna inside a plastic tube that sticks out the wing root. When I assemble my Kangaroo, I simply slide the plastic tube down the holes in the front of the wing ribs (composite wing) and bolt the wing on. On my Panther, I will run the antenna inside a similar plastic tube and have another, larger tube imbedded in the wing (full ribs in builtup wing) into which the smaller tube slides. When I transport my planes, the flexible tube simply sticks out the side of the fuse, but I have never had any problems with it or the antenna within getting damaged.
