Hi all,
now that I am finally within spittin` distance of getting my Xtra back in the air I want to fit an external arial to the Icom A22 which I bought from John Hauk a couple of years ago.
Any pointers where it should be fitted or any helpful pointers?. I presume that well away from the engine is a good idea so I am considering somewhere under the cockpit cage. Between the u/c legs for instance. Ideas anyone?.

When I put the antenna on mine, I had the advice of an FAA technician whom I worked with. Simply, as far as possible from other metal objects that protrude from the surface, and with a metal ground plane. So I slid a sheet of thin aluminum to lay between the boom tube and the side tube, on the lower fabric in the aft part of the cage behind the cross tube that goes between the landing gear. The antenna is mounted in the middle of the ground plane, and turns back to parallel the boom. Works quite well. Picture here -

You might also talk to Boyd Young about an internal antenna that doesn't need the metal ground plane. Works very well, and costs next to nothing. Lar.
