      Hi John,
      
      I realize you posted about this a few months old, but I thought I'd comment on
      your VOR antenna mounting conundrum.  You called out a "CI-121 Nav/COM/GS", but
      I think you really meant something like a CI-158C which is a Di-pole VOR/GS/Loc
      antenna.  The CI-121 is a fiberglass COM antenna only.
      
      Here is the Cheif web page on NAV/GS/Loc antennas:
      
              http://www.chiefaircraft.com/airsec/Aircraft/Antennas/ComantIndustries-NAV.html
      
      In any case, I mounted a CI-158C in the fin of my RV-8 and it works very nicely
      there.  Here are some pictures of the installation:
