RE: carbon fibre and antenna
I would not glass in the antenna. I was going to glass in a tube for the antenna to slide in. That way if it doesnt work out I just pull and relocate the antenna. I read a interesting post on a Large scale Harrier with a Turbofan jet engine. He was having fits with RF issues. He ended up reworking the carbon shroud for the fan in fiberglass. That seems to have solved the RF issue. Again it seems that not so much a issue of carbon blocking the signal as one of it conducting RF. In this case where you have large amounts of air flowing past the carbon shroud I would assume it picks up a static charge then becomes an antenna to send this as rf to fritz the receiver. Is this possible? if so could grounding the carbon to the battery eliminate the issue? There is more to this carbon and rf than just carbon blocking the signal. You electronic wizards could jump in here and set me straight!!!
