Lancair Avionics, told me to do it to make sure there is no problems with the belly antennas.
Although the carbon is conductive, I don't think it has the same conductivity as a metal, as it is mixed with epoxy.

Posted for "Bryan Burr" < bjburr@mwheli.com>: So my question is that if carbon is a great conductor why is another conductive coating needed to improve the ground plane? In aluminum aircraft nothing more is added to the antenna mount area.
