RE: Antenna wire question
one important note is to keep the antenna away from metal when you run it through the plane. especially metal pushrods. the push rods act as antennas for noise and metal around the antenna will shield it from radio signals. about at least an inch away is a good rule of thought. the interference though gets worse with how much is in close proximity to the metal. which means running side by side over a long distance is much worse then a quick cross that is then separated. in other words don't run a antenna guide touching the pushrod guide but an inch separation will make things good.
