I am not sure I can put a WAAS antenna in the console due to depth issues. It may be tight mounting with a 90 degree BNC connector. > Les, The antenna ends up nearly touching the underside of the cabin top and is essentially as high as you can get without being outside of the aircraft but did require the 90 deg fitting. -------- Dave Ford RV6 for sale RV10 building Cadillac, MI Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=473639#473639 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:27:53 PM PST US From: David Carr Subject: RV10-List: Pitot mast tie down clearance Hi guys, Has anyone had tie down rope clearance issues when mounting the pitot mast on the inboard side of the rib just outboard of the aileron bellcrank? That's a bit of a tongue twister, so here's a picture that shows what I'm talking about (pitot is outboard side of bellcrank): https://tinyurl.com/y76l4cq3 Thanks, David ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 03:59:05 PM PST US From: Phillip Perry Subject: Re: RV10-List: Pitot mast tie down clearance I=99ve only got a few hours on mine and noticed it in a recent trip. I t really depends on the width of the tie down points. If they=99re n arrow, then yeah. If they=99re wide, then no. But if I moved the mast outboard I=99d still have problems at those pl aces too. So it=99s as broad as it is long. I don=99t think it=99s worth the trouble to reinvent a location a nd move it from the standard location.

Narrow or wide doesn=99t seem to make a difference. I figured Van=99s had flight tested the prototype with the pitot in that location, so the odds of having pitot/static accuracy issues would be minimized if I followed the plans on that particular issue.
