Hey all,
I'm currently researching how exactly to mount my Dynon and Garmin WAAS GPS antennae to the cabin top underneath the overhead console, and wanted to double check what I'm finding.
The solutions out there seem to be:
1. Industrial strength velcro?? I've found a few references to this. Is this legit?
2. Actually cutting hole in the cabin top and mounting the antennae inside. (I have an overhead console, so I think this is off the table.
Is Velcro really an option? If not, I'm imagining that I'm going to want to glass in pieces of harder fiberglass with nutplates mounted to them.
I'd love some guidance from folks on best practices here. I'm much more comfortable working with fiberglass, but tricks like this, which must be just bread and butter for folks that build whole airplanes out of fabric, are still out of my reach.
Thank you!
