I've need to enclose my electronics including my 2.4ghz AR6200 DSM2 6-Channel Ultralite Receiverfor my project I need a 4"x4"x4" cube. I found a polycarbonate enclosure around close the size I need but it weighs .6lbs It's a bit too hefty so I've been looking at Carbon Fiber panels and I would build up my own lighter enclosure.The issue is what to do about RF shielding... All the R/C and R/F equipment would be inside this box but due too the R/F shielding issue I'm unsure what to do. Can I extend or modify the wire antennas so that they extend outside the box while its electronics are safely inside the box?Carbon Fiber enclosure and RF shielding issues.

How about some sandwiched composite material? I have some of this stuff for a Rocket I'm in the middle of building. It's nomex honeycomb, and thin G-10 fiberglass bonded, it's strong, and lightweight. Might be an option...
@JD,
there are receivers made for carbon fuslege, I think JR and futaba makes them too , spectrum too.
extending 2.4 antenna may not bve good idea as you will mess the feed point impedence, etc
