| Subject: | Re: GPS antenna mounting |
I mounted the antenna for my G430w on the top - no ground plane was
specified. Works perfectly at all times. It also seals up easily with
a bit of silicon sealant used as a gasket. Very unobtrusive.
I chose not to try and get fancy with the WAAS antenna since it is
critical to IFR operations. A talk by a local radio shop convinced me
further on that point.
I have a lot of extra cable for the short run but understand that the
whole system is tuned and no cable should be removed. So there is a big
coil of cable under my hood.

Does anyone have any feedback on the Anti-Splat gust lock for the RV-10?

Most specifically, any feedback on how it works/fits with the infinity
grips where the sticks had to be cut down to minimum length to fit under
the panel...
Thanks,
Phil

I have it with Infinity grips and if works as advertised. I didn't make any mods
to the stick or panel.

Phil,
Tim Olson has pretty good instructions on his web site to make your
own. I mostly followed his instructions, although I had to make a few
parts differently as I have Paul Grimstead's Rudder pedal system. I
have AntiSplat cowl flaps, and all his products are a bit spendy for
what they are.

I use the very slightly modified Bogart tow bar as a control (all 3 axes) gust
lock. Works fine, no extra weight since I take the tow bar everywhere anyway.

Not sure I'd use the word "tuned". The extra coax is there just for its loss, since
at these frequencies no coax is perfect.
Seems Garmin bought an OEM antenna and put their name on it, but the antenna has
too much gain for the receiver, hence the need for some attenuation or loss
in the coax.

I have the Antisplat Aero gust lock. It is easy to install and works well.
Connects to control stick several inches below the stick grip. A gage is i
ncluded, which tells you where to mount the attachment bracket on the curved
part of the stick. I do not see how it could interfere with any stick grip
.
