I won't leave the plastic exposed, but I'll shoot it with some 3M Sticky Spray, lay down some 1/8" foam, then have it wrapped with leather or something similar. It could make a simple and easy form for some nice detail work.

I understand that the transponder antenna coax run should be 3'to 8.8'. I know that some have mounted the transponder antenna in the center tunnel near the firewall. Others appear to have located it under the rear seat or baggage area. Since this appears to require a coax run of longer than 8.8', I'm curious to what issues (or lack thereof) folks have experienced when they located their transponder antennas in these areas? Is 8.8' really a hard limited from Garmin?

The important thing is to make sure they are the ratcheting type. The crimper does not release until it gets a full squeeze. These crimpers usually have three different dies on them: red, blue and yellow. This corresponds to the color code on the terminals (wire sizes). Get the best terminals you can (AMP are good) and don't go cheap on the tool. Connector pins work differently and depend on the type. The advice to check with Stein is a good one. -------- Dave Moore RV-6 flying RV-10 QB - cabin top/fiberglass hell Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=257055#257055 ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 06:11:50 PM PST US From: Ted Chang Subject: Re: RV10-List: Transponder antenna location Bob, I don't see the minimum coaxial cable length in the installation manual (Garmin 327).

Some may know that I've had the 'leans' with my GRT EFIS. Initialises perfectly on the ground with no anomalous heading, but tilts 3-4deg once airborne. I have my XPDR antenna in the tunnel beneath the fwd baggage area, with the magnetometer in the 'stock' location on a shelf above and aft of the battery. Since the XPDR only transmits once airborne ('SBY' on the ground and automatically enters 'ALT' mode), and the AHRS only leans in flight, me thinks that perhaps the XPDR antenna is too close to the magnetometer and may be interfering when responding to a ping . . . .. Will turn the XPDR off next flight and see what happens.
