Thanks for the input Don. I decided to do this after reading a lot of
threads about this being successfully done. Some were even in metal
airplanes. I've read lots of reports of inadvertently triggered ELTs being
found inside heavy metal hangars so I don't think that thin coat of paint
will cause much of a problem. Maybe it'll turn the whole airplane into an
antenna? Another reason was to keep the antenna protected in the case of a
end-over crash which tends to tear them off anyway. I guess it's like an
ejection seat. Not something you want to test in real world conditions.

Dave,
One of two things are happening. One you will be please to know can be
solved in aobut ten minutes, the other however is just a bit costly.
If you had your starter apart, there is a chance you reassembled it with the
magnets misaligned...Yup, it's easy to do and.....it will make your starter
run backwards. Been there, done that.
Take the starter off the engine, but leave the connections hooked up. Have a
buddy turn the key (or push the starter button) and watch the starter. The
bendix drive should shoot forward. Looking at the end of the starter with
the bendix drive, the starter should turn clockwise.
If it is running in reverse, remove the two long bolts , slip off the body
and rotate it 90 degrees. (To be honest, I can't remember if you have to
rotate it 90 or 180 degrees) Reassemble and try again. If it still runs
backwards rotate it another 90 degrees... Or maybe someone slse on the
list can remember. We mark thee bodies with tape and
felt pens before disasembly so it's been a while since I had to do the
guessing thing....
If it turns clockwise and the bendix shoots forward it is most likely
the clutch on the bendix that is bad. Only solution is to replace the
bendix.....
Give the above a shot and get back to me.....
