The replies you got are good and agree, but let me point out a few things.
1st, your best bet (in my opinion) is just get another bent whip an put on the
belly or the back of the planes fuselage (external). It will cost you about
1/3 mph at 200mph, no big deal.
2nd, they do make a two transmitter into one antenna device but its very very
expensive and I don't think Spruce A/C sells them. The one poster was thinking
of NAV antenna splitters, receivers. However having two transceiver on one antenna
is a recipe for blowing up a radio. Yes you could manually install a switch
but that's just silly, why have two radios at all. Granted you can only transmit
at one time.
3rd, the suggestion of installing a hidden antenna is cool, wing tip, windscreen
or cowl but they SUCK. Yea they "WORK" but work means some really reduced
performance. There is NO substitute for a 1/4 wave antenna on a GOOD ground plan
with vertical polarization. There is no debate. The wing tip antennas do not
work well. If my radio can't transmit and receive at least 100-150 miles at
altitude than its not a good installation.
Last, mount the second antenna and be done with it. You can handle a lousy 0.33
mph loss in speed for a bent whip.
PS: (Note: you need about three feet between antennas ideally, give or take,
but also don't forget to connect the radio interconnect for two radios. When you
transmit the interconnect turns the other radio's receiver off when you transmit.
Most or all radios have this wire, usually a single wire interconnect when
you install two radios. Call the radio manufacture if in doubt. Even with
two antennas separated by distance, transmitting can bleed over even with the
radio off freq.)
All the best Happy New Years George

Hey:
Somehow a picture of my RV-8 at Leadville made it in Aviation Week's
Photo Contest issue on page 76. I submitted the photo but didn't
think a homely unpainted RV-8 would have a snowball's chance in hell
of getting in. The Photo is listed under my Dad's name.

| Subject: | Vans New front forks for RV6 and 7As |
I just received my new front gear leg fork from Vans to complete the
modification recommend by Vans.
The fork did not look new, in fact it appears to have been installed before.
I phone Vans and was told by Joe that this is the result of the
contractor's jig. Has any else noticed this?
Also I plan to make the modifications during my next annual and at that time
I plan to leave the gear leg in place and rethread and cut the leg as
required. Does any one have the correct thread size?
Thanks

I thought the same thing as mine looked like it had large washer marks each side
of the mounting holes. guess that is why so thanks for checking.

I called Vans on the original fork for the same reason (It looked used).
It is discolored in the manufacturing process while it is jigged via the
axle holes.Clean it up and go forward.
Also note I ordered my new fork from VAN's and shipped the leg to
Langair ground from VA. The machined leg and fork arrived within a day
of each other. If you have proper tooling to thread the leg go for it
otherwise Harmon will do right by you.

I got the new fork for my RV-8A and thought the same
thing.
The thread I believe is a 1.25" 16 pitch.

Those of you changing to the new fork, keep in mind that the W-10 Tri-gear Tailwind
uses the same fork you have now. From what I understand, Van's will not sell
this part to Tailwind owners/builders. If you don't need or want yours anymore,
how about helping out the scratch builders building Tailwinds.

accessories, new sensenich custom made metal prop, and sensenich
aluminum spinner. Look on classified adds VAF F/S 0-290D Custom for
more info.
