Default Fiberglass fuselages and brownouts

Hello,

I am flying a Great Planes Kunai, and I recently experienced a brownout that resulted in a crash. I understand that brownouts could be more common if there is carbon fiber in the fuselage. When repairing the fuselage, I used a few carbon fiber rods and I wonder if I might have made brownouts more likely. Any advice on modifications I might be able to to? Would it help to have the receiver antenna stick out of the fuse a little bit? Might it also help to drill a hole in the fuse near the receiver?

Thanks,

-Tom
