What's nice about that, it hides the antenna but puts it in an ideal location plus it remains fully extended.

What happens sometimes is this: Often, people will pull the antenna through a tube as suggested above, which is just fine by the way. However, they fail to tie it off on the end or at the beginning (preferably at the end) and, with vibration, it will snake back into the fuselage into a ball and this will definitely make for a bad-hair-day. So, no matter what way you route the antenna, make darned sure you secure it so that it does NOT snake back up in the tube or somehow back into the fuselage.

The method I described above will definitely prevent this, as well as looks good. I've had people at the field ask me where my antenna was routed. I pointed at the strip on the bottom of the fuselage and they took a good close look before they realize that it's really under that strip of covering.
