| Subject: | RV-7A Antenna Placement |
I am at the point that I need to start looking at where to mount my ante
nnas. I'm planning on using a bent whip antenna somewhere on the belly
for the com and the wing tip antenna for the VOR Nav. I've been told to
ensure to that the Com antenna is atleast 3' from the nearest obstructi
on, ie landing gear legs. Where are most people sticking their antennas
for Com, Nav, Transponder, and ELT to get the best results on 6/7/9A's?
Additionally, are you guys with the wingtip Nav antennas happy with th
eir performance?
Thanks,

Jason,
The RV6 I owned had the bent whip comm antenna mounted on the belly dead
centered between the two exhaust tubes. It was around 6 inches aft of
the firewall. I know that was definitely less then 3' from the main
gear, but it worked. In the three years I had the plane the comm radio
always worked perfectly. About once a month I would wipe the belly
down and wipe off the antenna. No problems.
As for the transponder it was mounted on the belly just aft of the
baggage area. Again never got a complaint from ATC.
I didn't have a NAV. GPS was mounted on a bracket on the aft cabin
wall and the ELT was also in side the cabin
Happy building,

I placed my bent whip commant just forward the main spar between the
coverplate and the spar web. When placed under your left thigh in that
place the Transponder can go under the right side same place. Both are
out of the flow of the exhaust and don't require cleaning often. They
work great and they are out of sight.
