One question I have is what size plane is this? The reason I ask is that the antenna wire is only about 39 inches long. Unless this is a relatively small plane, I don't think it will reach all the way. Personally, I wouldn't recommend doing this as it will be easier to break the wire.

If you want to use something instead, you can get some black fishing line. I'm no fisherman, so I don't know exactly what it is, but it is NOT the monofilament type. It's a braided multistrand line. I found it at a local sporting goods store.
