PostPosted: Tue Mar 12, 2013 10:56 am    Post subject: GPS Shelf FWF Reply with quote

Someone on the RV-10 list shared a photo of their GPS shelf mounted FWF that had 4+ GPS antenna mounted. I recall the shelf was painted black and connected the firewall with the motor mount? Can the owner share the photo again with the group? I need something similar for my 8A and cannot locate the post.

Thanks,
Robin

For me it was just assedics, they work well under the cowl and are out of sight.

Lynn,
I dislike anything on the glare shield. I won't even fly (build) with a dash or pole mounted compass. RV's have such great visibility why gunk it up with random odds & ends. Over time you will add, remove antenna and I prefer to do that out of sight. Just keeping it clean!

Thanks Robin. I feel as you do .... wanted to not install the front cabin top brace for the same reason. I learned from others that they use it a lot .... so in it goes.
One problem I have flying my traumahawk ..... there's nothing to use to 'aim' the airplane to keep it on track. I have two small pucks for GPS antennas .... and was thinking of mounting them on the glareshield as a 'sight'.
Again, thanks for the reply.
Linn .... still learning

Lynn,
I recall the brace conversation. I as much as just about anyone didn’t want the brace there till I flew the 10. The brace is invaluable for getting in and out, for stabilization during turbulence and for routing wires from my overhead console. I'm embarrassed to say I love the brace now.
Might I suggest you consider installing flush defrost fans and use those as your aiming device and move the small GPS pucks to the FWF? Occasionally I can see the reflection of my black computer fan grills on the windscreen. It looks kind of like a machine gun site.
Another option is to press the Heading button on the AP and not worry about the site. Over time you will be comfortable flying a plane you built with your own hands w/o the need for a site line.
Good luck with your choices.
Robin

32 years ago I built my Pitts S-1 ..... and it never stays on heading more than a few seconds .. Very Happy
I was planning on fans ..... and promptly forgot them. Thanks for the reminder!!!!
You also reminded me about those hardpoints on the wings .........

Hi Robin,

Here are some pictures of how I did the GPS antenna installations on my RV-8. Works great. Blast tubes keeps them cool. No unsightly pucks on the dash!

Someone on the RV-10 list shared a photo of their GPS shelf mounted FWF that had 4+ GPS antenna mounted. I recall the shelf was painted black and connected the firewall with the motor mount? Can the owner share the photo again with the group? I need something similar for my 8A and cannot locate the post.

Thanks,
Robin

Hi Robin,

Here are some pictures of how I did the GPS antenna installations on my RV-8. Works great. Blast tubes keeps them cool. No unsightly pucks on the dash!

Would there be any temperature concerns for the antennas being located in
the engine compartment?

have 110 hours on mine and had the same set up in my RV-4 for 350 hours with no issues. Not saying it won't be a problem, but no issues for me so far. YMMV
