Michael Holland asked why not place the antenna in the wing, per the plans
(which don't address wetting the outer fuel bay).   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.
