Default C-ARF Flash Antenna Routing??

Hey just curious what you guys who have your Flash flying did with your receiver antenna? I have been using the Revolution antenna internally on all my other airplanes but it has me a little nervous with the amount of carbon fiber inset in the flash fuselage. I'm to the point of running the antenna and just not sure what i want to do. Would like any input from people CURRENTLY flying a flash. Don't really need speculation, just facts. I'm running a JR 955 receiver if it matters.

Thanks,
Sean

I run a hard whip 1' long mounted at the rear of the fuse tank.
I run the aerial over the glass tank, taped to the fuselage.

Dave,

That is exactly what i was thinking about doing. I bought a couple of the Whip antennas but they are about 21" long (i think). So do you cut the whip antenna down to keep the original length of the antenna in order to run it back that far?

Thanks,
Sean

You would need to...the 300mm aerial we use is just about right for the remaining flexible aerial to reach

Sean,

I'm using a Skymaster whip (20" ) . The receiver is in the back part of the area under the canopy and the remaining 19" of the stock antenna was enough to get it back to behind the tank...
