Antennas

	This is the transponder antenna, it is located behind the co-pilot seat about 6" behind the landing gear.  Powdercoating has been removed so antenna can connect to the aircraft ground.
	This is the communications antenna located on the rearmost antenna mount in the fuselage.  Notice in the underside view that the powdercoating has been removed so antenna can connect to the aircraft ground.
	This is the VOR navigation antenna located as high as possible on the vertical fin.  It is securely attached to the metal tubing below the rib.  The closeup shows the access area without the covers on.
	After much debate and discussion with other builders, I decided to mount the Emergency Locator Transmitter antenna inside the fuselage.  I decided it was better to have an intact antenna after a crash rather than an external antenna.  Here you can see that it is firmly mounted to the same 1/4" plate that the ELT is mounted to.
