Default antenna wire locations

I'm trying to find the best place for my antenna wire. Does it hurt the range of my receiver if I ran the receiver's antenna wire down a spare push rod tube and then out the back of the plane?

It usually doesn't hurt the range. If you can, inside the plane is the best place for it. I've seen the pushrods mess with it before though. They can cause some interference. Do a full power range check before you fly, and if it clears without any interference, then go for it.

What is the push rod tube made of? If it's carbon fiber it will significantly hurt the range.
