Gentleman... thank you for you replies!

My dilema is this... my Herr Aquastar is completed & ready for its maiden voyage. I have run the antenna from the receiver up through the top of the fuselage, just behind the TE of the wing. If I pull the antenna tight-ish, and fasten it to the top of the vertical stabilizer (as I have done will all my land lubber planes), the antenna will certainly be dragging in the water approx. 10" behind the plane.

In your opinion, would it be best to do as I have done with my trainers, sailplanes, etc... by stringing the antenna over the top of the vertical stabilizer and let the remainder of the antenna dance in the waves and the wind? Or, should I stuff the extra antenna in the fuselage and only bring out enough to reach the vertical stabilizer, plus a few inches to drape over (but not reach the water)?

Thanks again for your replies, and best regards,

DJ
