It was suggested to me by Jason at Aerotronics that the best compromise location for my GPS puck antenna would be on the glareshield of my RV-8. I've done some preliminary layout work, but the problem is that I don't know exactly where the windscreen will lay on the forward top skin. I've viewed other builder websites, and that's given me some clues... but I won't be cutting my own canopy for quite a while. I'd like to finish the metal work on the forward top skin soon so I can get it painted, but I don't want to drill holes for the puck or the ventilation fans that will flank it until I can be sure the layout will work with the possible windscreen placement. If any other builders have done it this way and can share photos with me, I'd be grateful for the input.
