Anybody with an RV-8 install the Bob Archer type com or vor antennas in their wingtips?
How have they performed ? How difficult were they to install ? Did you
buy or make your own ? I remember an article several years ago (maybe in Kitplanes?)
on how to make these antennas. Anybody have that article ? Hope to hear
from you and best regards, Bill of Georgia RV-8a wings

Bill,
I installed an Archer wing tip comm antenna in my RV-8 for Comm 2. I have
a bent whip on the belly for Comm 1. I bought the antenna from Bob Archer
directly as a finished unit. You should install the antenna with as much
vertical orientation as possible given the limitations of the wing tip shape.
Several small pieces of foam block were used to support the antenna where it angled
up. I also attached three separate wires from the base of the antenna to the
wing end rib for a good ground.
The antenna overall works well, but does seem to suffer a bit depending on
the position of the aircraft to the other station. But overall still
acceptable. I use it mostly to monitor a second Comm Freq or pull in an AWOS while
I'm
talking to ATC or the local unicom.
