Re: ELT Antenna Placement

Mike Thanks for posting the pic. Unfortunately all antenna mounting on the 8 is a compromise of one kind or another. The sliding canopy covers virtually all of the upper skin between open and closed positions. the purple fiberglass in the picture is the rear fairing of the canopy The yellow fibergla...

I use the feature to see what's going on, I find it easier to see what's happening than to log in every day. I tried to reply via e-mail last week but it never showed up.

If at all possible please keep the feature

CJ looking great! your progress is great motivation!
I see that you put in a compass, I am still trying to figure out if I can get away without one. Just in case what is the depth behind the panel of that compass?
