SR8 Pro access Receivers In Carbin fiber plane radio X20s

[J Perk]

I just received a Extra 260 30cc 3D plane that has a CF laminated over all the plywood in fuselage and cover with Oratex covering. I was just wondering if all that CF laminated will be a problem with the SR8 Pro access receiver antennas. Should I try and mount the antennas outside the fuselage? I have a two Helis one 700 and one 600 that have CF fames, and it seems as if the CF does not have any interference problem with the receivers. What do you guys think? Should I mount the antennas inside of the plane or try and bring the Antennas outside of the plane?

Thanks Guys

I try to place the antennas such that they span the open areas (cutouts). I do this by placing a bit of balsa across the open area. Then I tape or glue the antenna to this piece of balsa. Do maintain the 90 degree antenna orientation and try to keep the antennas as far apart as practical.

Inside or outside, I don’t see much difference just as long as there is at least one antenna that is not blocked by any RF reflective material.

Thank You for your help. I can mount the Antennas to balsa wood and have the at 90 degrees, one up and one to the right, or lift.
