In my LDDD, I drilled a 1/4" hole in the forward bulkhead and glued a piece of acrylic tubing, then slid the existing wire antenna up inside that. The tubing is slanted so that it hits the wall of the forward tube to try and keep it mostly out of the way. I pack the antenna and shock cord around it while sliding it into the airframe so that things don't get mashed in weird ways. Works great! -- [email protected]
