Hello VAF,
After significant deliberation and thought I purchased RV-10 empennage/tailcone kit #41863 from Vans! I took a demo flight in one at SNF and we have a mission that the -10 fits perfectly so took the leap and ordered the emp kit. Quickly after its arrival I found out that decisions need to be made rather quickly as going back will take significant effort later to add or change things. I have been researching antennas and would like to place a VOR antenna in the top of the tail for VOR/LOC/GS as it seems cat whiskers have the best reception and reliability performance. I have seen pictures of others who have done this and would like to know if there is a specific model of antenna that installs the best or performs better than others? Even within the Comant line they vary wildly in price and I cannot seem to find a reason why?
Additionally I was wondering if static wicks are necessary or above and beyond? Thanks
