      Yep,  mine did that also.  The 1st. time was from a firm landing with a 
      heavy airplane and aft c.g.  It tore up the back bottom area of both main 
      wheel pants.  A veteran RV builder had told me that my pants would 
      eventually be damaged if set up as per Vans instructions.  So I redid them 
      and flattened off the bottom area in front of and to the rear of the tires, 
      giving them more ground clearance.  Then I happily went off on an adventure, 
      and tore them up again because I had not provided enough clearance around 
      the tire area, so I fixed them again.  I now have no issues, and thankfully, 
      I have not painted yet.

      Am currently about 36nm from the center of the DC SFRA.  Right wing points to DC.
      Left has my archer nav.  I'm at 3000', well high enough.
      Perfect signal on my SL-30 with whiskers.  No signal on my 480, shadowed by the

      Thanks for the validation, guys.  Good to know it's not just Wes's -- bad to know
      that the plans call for 5/8" clearance and it wasn't on anyone's "gotcha" list.
      
      
      I agree that it should be "at least 1" -- those still building, take note!

      I have found over the years on several homebuilts, that keeping the tire
      pressure up, say 50 or 60 pounds helps keep the tire from deforming and
      scraping the pant.

      As long as you fly around the SFRA in a left hand pattern, should be no

      radials?

      I think using VOR's as cross check is still a good idea, and with the 480, i

      I have my whiskers mounted under the tail (like Tim). I have a diplexer (or maybe
      a triplexer??) so my SL-30 and my 430W both use the same antenna. The performance
      is fantastic. I routinely pick up VOR signals on the SL-30 more than 90
      miles out at cruising altitudes and 60 or 70 miles out on the 430W. LOC/GS reception
      is great on both radios, as well.

      If you have a 430 and an SL-30 I am guessing a Triplexer such as 
      http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/avpages/comant505.php
      
      The 430 has separate inputs for GS and NAV so it need those two split 
      out where as the SL-30 has that built in so only has a single NAV/GS input.

      Perhaps it would make sense to switch which antenna connect to which radio.
