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? ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 09:23:52 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: VOR/GS/LOC Antenna and Static Wicks From: "Bob Turner" 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. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=477393#477393 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 10:07:20 PM PST US From: Dan Charrois Subject: Re: RV10-List: VOR/GS/LOC Antenna and Static Wicks 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.
