Hi Steve.=0A-=0AWhile I am currently building a Lightning, I have previou
sly built and fly a Lancair ES.- I used AAE antennae for 2 COMs and the T
ransponder.- This was despite advice fro other Lancar builders not to do
it.=0A-=0AWell, I have since added a Comant belly antenna for COM1 and a
traditional blade on the belly for the transponder.- I still have COM2 in
the tail with the AAE.- There is a noticeable decrease in performance wi
th the AAE, both in the COM and the transponder.=0A-=0ABelly antenna goin
g in the Lighting... ground planes in.=0A-=0AGood luck!=0A-=0AGordon=0A

Steve,
I used three of them in my Lightning. The comm antenna and two of the
small ones, one for the transponder and the other for ADS-B (maybe you
don't have that in Australia). I mounted them all with sticky back
velcro behind the rear bulk head per Mark at Lightning. The comm antenna
needs to be as near vertical as possible and will curve around inside of
the fuselage. I mounted one of the small ones on the opposite side of
the fuselage and can't remember where I put the third one, but it is in
the same vicinity, taking into consideration the instructions for
proximity to avoid interference. They all work as advertised, although
the comm antenna seems to be a bit directional on the ground. I always
hear the tower, but occasionally don't hear other aircraft depending on
which way I'm pointed. While in the air, there is no problem with the
comm antenna being directional.

Folks, I thought you'd like this trip around the St Pete/Clearwater Interna
tional Airport at sunset. Shot with my GoPro camera and a neutral Density
Filter.
