I called Lancair before closing my wings to get a tech rep's opinion since it looked to me like the antenna would greatly complicate getting a good seal and it would not be a real easy fit. The tech rep suggested not putting it in the wet wing but in the fuse instead. The new Lancair catalog suggests putting it in the fuse as well. My preference is to put it aft of the baggage bulkhead if the bend is not thought to be excessive. Hollis Helms Vienna, VA
