Default RE: base loaded whip antenna installed inside jet

Go for it, I use them all the time, installed anywhere on the plane (nose section or main section) with no issues at all.

Hi there,

I am finishing my Boomerang XL and i am about to install a laod based whip antenna. I was wondering if i could install it inside fuselage toward nose. I find that this way jet will look nicer without antenna hanging out.

I fly giant scale and always place antenna wire inside fuse.
Do you have anything against this. Will surely run some range tests before flying, but the general idea here is to see if i should even try an enclosed installation.

Thanks and regards.
