First, I have ruled out installing the CI158C-2 cat whiskers on the V stab - it's just looks too ugly up there. One possibility is to locate the cat whisker on the belly as far forward as I can, but it will be within 14 inches of the CI122 comm antenna. The other possibility is to extend the wing about 4-6 inches with E glass and there should be enough room to install the SA-004 antennas, but I hear that even a small wing extension can degrade performance. Has anyone tried either of these combinations? Jack Dysart jldysart@gozw.net Tel: 970-870-3362 Fax: 970-871-9986
