I'm finishing up my RV-10 wings and would like to have (most) everything done before I move on.  I am contemplating wingtip VOR antenna(s) and wonder if these can also be used for glideslope?  I expect most navigation will be from gps but I would like to have an operating VOR as well.

  

 Thanks for any thoughts/comments.

The GS antenna is smaller than the VOR antenna so you can physically do it,  however you can just use the VOR antenna with a splitter made for the purpose.  You get a little loss, but I think it is trivial.

Yes.     A vor / glide slope splitter works.  I have that exact setup in my rv-10.

Depending on the navcom you have, some have internal splitters and just 

need VOR antenna connection

Yep, the SL-30 in my RV-6 works very well for localiser and glideslope 

from a wing tip antenna with a single feed.
