As per my usual, I've made my agonizing descision on how to route the antenae from the receiver. I internally ran the antenae the full length of the fuselage and on the sloped portion of the fuse near the tail wheel mount I drilled a hole and ran a 2 inch piece of fuel tubing down the hole. I snaked the antenae through the fuel tubing. There was a few inches of antenae that extends out to about the rudder hinge.
I still need to trim the tube and secure it, but I think it will work OK. I'll do a really good range check to make sure. I don't have anything that should interfere. I'm running the 2 elev servos on 2 seperate channels on my 9C.
coomarlin,
Looking at the picture, I noticed that you draped the antenna inside the spring of the tail wheel. Baaaddd idea!
Trust me. The tip of the antenna should be no where near any metal surfaces, especially that nice looking Sullivan tail wheel that has metal-to-metal connections (spring and brass eyelet). These often can cause glitches, especially when the tip of the antenna is in close proximity. I opt to route all my rcvr antenna outside the fusealage. See
