Hi Carl
I worked with Bill McKelvey of Huron Avionics at Port Huron, MI and
arranged the antennas equally spaced along the aft portion of the
belly; #1 & #2 com, marker beacon and transponder, with the comm
antennas separated as much as possible. ILS "whiskers" adjacent to
the tailwheel mount; and GPS on top of the glareshield. Contrary to
Garmin instructions, I lightly coated the GPS antenna with a light
coating of black paint with no ill effects. Belly-mounted antennas
get backing plates; also, use platenuts for easy removal later.
Drag? So far, 60% power from the O-360 has produced 165k @ 7,000 ft.
I'm happy.
Don Miller
