While rebuilding my Blade CP Pro after its last boom strike (see separate thread about the hazards of plastic rotors) I decided I would try something new to keep my receiver antenna carefully bundled so it would not get destroyed by my less than stellar flying.

While rummaging through my nitro tool box looking for my heat shrink and lighter, I came across a length of the RCNT fuel line cover that I got like three or four years ago, when WoodiE first came out with it. At any rate, there was just enough to make a sheath for the antenna.

Here are a couple of pictures of the Blade, rebuilt...in yellow... The third picture shows the fuel line cover in use. Have flown it twice with the covering on the antenna and have seen no indications of interference with the signal.

Enjoy!

As long as your still learning on it, that setup will work fine. Just don't wander too far away with it. Your radio range will be decreased.
