Having purchased the NavWorx ADS600B and Delta-Pop antenna, I'm trying to figure out where to install the antenna....

Since the Delta-Pop is a blade-type antenna, it will need to be mounted along the fuselage direction of flight axis. There are a couple of places where bulkheads mount to the bottom skin and are aligned correctly. I'm thinking of taking advantage of one of these bulkheads instead of mounting a doubler plate to the underside.

Thoughts please?

Thanks,
Ralph

That should work fine. The one behind the baggage bulkhead is off-center a bit if that's important. I'm getting ready to mount the NavWorx UAT and GPS antennas on my Navion and both will need to be off the centerline due to skin lap joints. If you don't have an autopilot pitch servo already make sure you leave mount it far enough aft to leave room for one near the bellcrank.

You could also put it under the baggage pushrod cover. You'd probably need to offset it for the cable to clear the pushrod. I don't remember if the flanges go inboard or outboard so you might need the doubler unless the other baggage floor panels are removable. That's a shorter cable run and one less bulkhead to penetrate.
