This is the second RV where I took the easy way for GPS and XM antenna
mounts - on top of the glare shield. I do take some black cloth and wrap
the typically white antennas to eliminate glare off the windshield. This
mounting location has worked perfectly for both RVs (GX-60 and Garmin 396 in
the RV-8A, Garmin GTN-650 and Dynon SkyView GPS in the RV-10).
Considering the ever increasing rate of change in avionics, the odds are
high that the RVs will go through panel upgrades several times during their
life (the RV-8A is 10 years old and on its third panel mod - the fourth will
come next year or so). As such, maintaining ease of avionic and associated
panel modification is an important design element for me. External GPS
antenna mounting tends to go against this principle.
My external antennas on the RV-10 are all on the belly; two bent whip
communications, a blade transponder and a blade ADSB antenna.
