Hi All,

I 'm installing a Comant antenna in the top cabin of my RV10(composite)it is a VHF-GPS-Weather data, while I have no problem in doing so in the metal part ,in the cabin(after I read Bob Nicklaus booK)  it looks like I must install a ground plane inside the cabin.

The book is very fast in explaining,(cut a one inch cooper and weld ) (call 3m for materials) and so on,it does not mention the lengths of each leg nor the diameter of the round plate, does it need to be aluminum or copper? 

any help (and not the typical "go and ask your local avionic shop", it must to be a joke. Can you  imagine how youd ask the jedi's for help ,after you purchased all of your stuff from the net,wholesale,and any place you can save a buck,for suggestions in how do the job for your self .will be a nice answer ,I suspect.)



Thanks

The book is very good ,but its still way beyoong me since I don't want to became an electronic engineer before learning how to build an airplane,

I'm still thinking many builders want to learn how to build a panel without the necessity of knowing how an alternator is built ,or how many inches are the quarter wave(watever that means)I thinks the first technician who will be able to show pictures at what a diode look like and wich point needs to be solder ,will sale a tons of books,and don't try to convert every body in master panel designers.

Its my personal opinion only.

Hugo,



Which weather are you looking at?  If WSI, you'll need a new antenna

in early 2007 when you get the new receiver.  If XM, it'll probably

stay the same for now.  You never know though, when looking down the

road, so that's why I kept my Comm at least separate....I don't plan

to do any upgrades that would require me to get new Com antennas.
