I mounted mine to the outboard rib of each wing, rather than in the wing tip. Makes it easier to remove the tip on those infrequent occasions when it is necessary.

In the latter case you are relying on the attach screws to make good contact with both the nutplates and the wingskin. I removed the paint on the skin under the screw heads. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=419736#419736 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 01:28:48 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: Archer wingtip antenna From: "Jim Berry" Carlos, The long leg of the antenna is fastened to the wing rib, as Bob mentioned above. The other 2 legs just lay on the inner surface of the wing tip, but are not fastened to it in any way.
