You can also taxi with some power on, say 1500 rpm or so while dragging the brakes for awhile (100 yards) and then let them cool and do it again. Essentially the same thing as Gary mentioned. They are pretty well seated in before you takeoff typically. Another stop of two after landing will finish the job. Just wait until you slow down a bit before getting on the brakes, as you should normally.

Given that a single pilot would rarely, if ever, transmit on two separate frequencies simultaneously, I don't see a need for two comm antennas. Is my reasoning bad? I wouldn't think it would be for redundancy, especially since you can't transmit on both antennas simultaneously because of the feedback, etc. I've got two comm antennas on my AA-1B and I don't understand why.

You need a splitter that won't allow ANY RF energy to go back into the radio not being used to transmit. Bury your antennas in the dorsil fin and you won't see any....
