As well as the various inserts, going up a size from the -3 bolt is a good idea
considering the loads that can be imposed on the step.

| Subject: | VOR/GS/LOC Antenna and Static Wicks |
Just received my -10 empennage kit and got started building the VS. I am
wondering what is the best cat whisker antenna/model number to mount in the
top of the tail that others have had success with and also wondering if
static wicks are necessary or overkill?

None. Put an Archer antenna in a wingtip. Almost as good as a cat whisker, gain
1/4 knot speed, wont poke your eye out.
Most builders seem to go without static wicks. I havent heard of any static problems,
but, never say never.

I have a standard "V" antenna on top of the vertical stabilizer, and a Bob Archer
antenna in a wingtip (two NAV radios and I didn't want to reduce signal with
a splitter). They both work well, though the traditional antenna on the tail
does pick up stations further away.
I don't have static wicks on my aircraft - at least so far, I haven't experienced
any problems that might be attributable to static buildup.
