Yup it is an insulator.
sweet, thanks Huck.
A tiny drop of silicone works a treat. Always remember to carry out a ohms check between the outer and inner.
Can somebody P L E A S E put this noob out of his misery and tell me where on earth I can buy 3mm OD "servo pushrod sheeting" -
I cannot find it anywhere!

any local hobby shop will have this it's usually supplied in a kit, it's long strips (circa 100cm) and is usually an inner (which you use for the antenna), an outer and a couple of clevises - which are obviously not needed.
…alternatively the antenna tubes which you see on most rc cars are also good, but the above is cheaper as you get more antennas out of each length.
do I have enough separation between the vtx and the rx? I want to know if it would be okay to put a sander style antenna there. I made a video cause I am bored

Someone suggested these. I believe these are acceptable, but the material does make a difference. Can anyone confirm?
