hi everyone, thanks for the replys didn't expect to recieve this much advice on this subject, it all sounds great. I have decided to run the antenna through a pushrod tube inside of the plane and run about a inch of the antenna wire through the turtle deck to the outside of the plane so that it looks like a little antenna sticking up behind the canopy, I think that this would be a safe way and might even look kind of a real thing. thanks again everyone for your ideas
