Whip antenna or not?
I recently aquired a Jet Arrows Wild Hornet and am noticing that many people are using whip antenna s. Is there an advantage with this set up versus running the antenna through the fuselage in an antenna tube? The airframe is fiberglass, wings are sheeted foam and the only carbon fiber in the whole plane is the mounting plate for all the access fittings. I have always run my antenna s this way, but I have never owned a composite plane. I don't anticipate a problem, but either way I will perform the obligatory range check.
Also, the ECU and fuel pump are on one side of the airframe and I plan to install the antenna on the other.
