Default Will I get RF????

Ok radio know-alls, question time. See the pic I will explain.

This is a picture of a Taube I quick doctored up to show you what I need help in. In the front the gray is Aluminum Duct Tape used as covering. This extends on the sides and bottom from the nose to the middle of the wing. On the top is extends from the back of the engine to the TE of the wing. The rest is covered in fabric. The red box is the Futaba 127DF RX. The blue line is the intended travel path of the antenna INSIDE the fuse. My question is, Will I experience interference because the ant is surrounded by metallic material for a short distance? Yes….yes I know all about the range checking I do that all the time. Should I expect RF?????
