Hello

I'm finishing a sailplane that has a fiberglass fuselage reinforced with 1/4 inch carbon fiber ribbons along the sides of the fuse.

Is it safe to run the antenna inside the fuse?

Since this is a V-Tail glider, I would like to avoid having an external antenna run to the v-tail.

It will be using a JR R700 receiver, if it matters.

Thanks for any advise.

Just make sure it's as far as physically possible from any other wireing in the fuse.

I think if I were you I would like to test this.
Take the airpane out and run a range test. Once with the antenna out of the fuse. and once with it inside and see if you have a range reduction with the antenna inside.
Do this off the tail and off the wing.
Then you will know if it causes any problems.

Thanks Lynx and dirtybird,

I'll make the experiment.
