Antenna routing:
Due to carbon fibre in the fuselage (electrically conducting) the antenna must be routed outside. It turned
out to be practicable to use spring steel of 0.5 mm diameter soldered to the (extended) receiver antenna.
See sketch below. Use shrink-tubing to isolate from the carbon fibres and glue to fuselage.
