- I've just finished a mould for producing glider fuselages. I'm planning
- to use carbon fibre tows to reinforce critical areas on the fuse. I want
- to run tows down either side of the fuse and some from the base of the
- fin and up. Does anyone have experience with RF problems with an aerial
- inside such a fuse. (Note, I dont plan to completely cover with CF, just
- 2 strips down either side for vertical stiffening).

- I've got carbon fiber tow laminated into the interior sidewall of my
- Conquest 120 pattern plane. I run the receiver antennae and three
- long servo extensions the full length of the fuselage. I've been
- doing this for years with no problems. However, I fly JR radios. I
- know some people who will not do this with their 1024 Futaba's. They
- have had some problems with their receivers and don't want to take any
- chances.
