> Hi
> I'm having trouble with my Nav antenna in my 360 airframe.
> It is mounted above the rear bulkhead as seen in the picture.
> Reception works fine over 100NM except exactly forward and rearwards (357°- to 3° and about 177° to 183°)I guess it is shielded by the engine and carbon horizontal.
> First I installed the Bob Archer antenna long wards from front to rear, then I lowered the aluminum strips downwards. Now it works a little better.
> To the sides I have perfect reception.
> I really don't want to install an antenna on the outside of the plane, but it would be my last chance to get a good reception.
> Thank you for your help,
>

> There is an additional bulkhead in the back which is not in the plans to stiffen the tail.
