It seems like it would be better to have a connector, like a mini plug or something, on the center panel, and the remaining piece of antenna in the tip. That way, when you connect them, you'll have the full length of the antenna, but won't have to deal with leftover stuff hanging out. While we're on the topic of connectors, you could also have the Rx connect to the antenna which is inside the fuse. That way, you'd avoid unbalancing the wing. -J RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
