OK, I screwed the pooch! In my haste to mount my wings a couple of weeks ago, I forgot to run my APRS power and GPS wires through the wing conduit. I also forgot to run and leave a string in the wing. So my only option is to pull my nav light wire through with a couple of strings attached. If for some reason the strings let go halfway through, I'm really in a jam. Of course, I've run the APRS wires towards the left side of the fuselage which means the left wing is what I was shooting for. That is jam packed with wires and two lines from the pitot.
After a feeble attempt tonight, I decided I better go to plan B. My question is, what exactly IS plan B?
Yea, I guess I can run an external antenna but I'm not excited about that. If that was the best option, what antenna do I use?
Plan C would be to mount the unit and its antenna inside the cockpit. I have my ELT antenna mounted inside behind the pilot. Has anybody had success with mounting the APRS internally near the Plexi?
Any other ideas?
