No reason at all, Jack. That's what I did. I also put the transponderantenna inside the wing, just outboard of the centersection mounted on a 6"diameter aluminum groundplane. Works just fine.Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia _____

Thanks Jack, did you mount your antenna upside down? Also it was pointed out by Santiago in a separate email to keep the spar clear for the aileron balance cable...Sent from my iPadJack TextorOn Jan 24, 2013, at 8:15 PM, "Jack Phillips" wrote:> No reason at all, Jack.

Hi Jack,If by upside down you mean with the antenna below the groundplane, theanswer is yes. Here is a poor quality picture showing the antenna:It seems to work well enough. The few times I've flown into Class C(Raleigh, Roanoke) and the one time in Class B (Dulles), ATC has nevercommented on getting a poor signal.Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia _____

Just be careful to insure the static port is routed somewhere where thepressure is subject to local affects. Vented to the cockpit is best Iimagine.
