If you can't, then I've been a very lucky free flighter all these years.
I've used a number of different kinds of wire. Adminttedly the one with
the thinnest, about 15" of lizst(sp?) wire and some gadgety base load,
has only been flown to 1/4 mile downwind. It was an indoor model, the
day was too windy, but I managed to get it to come down on the other
side of the school building. Just range check. Also, you may want to
set up a system, mechanical or behavioral, so you never launch without
connecting that antenna.
I've also used thin copper tape as external servo wiring, tho I had to
use capacitors out near the servos. The thin copper tape might make a
nice antenna as well.
