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.

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.

Works fine, no extra weight since I take the tow bar everywhere anyway. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=471686#471686 ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 05:08:37 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: GPS antenna mounting From: "Bob Turner" 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. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=471687#471687 ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 06:02:26 PM PST US From: Bruce Hoppe Subject: Re: RV10-List: Gust Lock Reviews 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 ..
