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:

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:
