Two questions
Any significant difference in performance with the antenna installed
parallel to the top of the wing vs the bottom?
I know that crossing over the Bob Archer wingtip VOR antenna with the
strobe and position light wires must be done in the Bob Archer
defined way (he provides tie downs in the appropriate
locations). But if the wires cross in front of the antenna by 6 to
12 inches is that OK?
Thanks

You will have a greater chance of airframe shadowing if you mount it in the top of the wingtip. Basically hold it wherever you plan to mount it and look around the airframe. If your line of site includes metals or carbon fiber, expect reduced signal strength and reduced range because of it.
Bob is pretty adamant about routing the wires as he shows regardless. However I believe Dan Checkoway and others have ignored that when it was a ways away and he reports no problems.

It wasn't that I ignored it. It's that the instructions really apply to the
OLDER style wing tips where the strobes mount on the exterior, further aft.

Anyway, I beg to differ on the "old style" as Bob still insists on it even with the RV-10 where you could separate the two by more than a foot.
