I'm going through that right now so this is what I'm told.
No, you can't put the antenna in before you have it skin mapped. Every 
airplane is slightly different and past skin mapping has showed that the 
antenna may have to be moved just 1 inch in any direction. I have in my tail, 
Stormscope box, TCAD box, Air Conditioning condenser with Fan, and Two 
stepper motors for the autopilot servos. We intend to look at the skin 
mapping with some things turned on and maybe off. i.e. the air conditioning 
may not be able to run when I need the Stormscope, which may not be a big 
trade off.
Also, I'm told that most Stormscopes pick up your voltage regulator, which 
you get use to. But I have two regulators so that could be different from 
yours.
Finally, it is not that big of a thing to drill the hole after the plane is 
running, flying, and you can turn on everything electrical that you have on 
board.

Another thought on the NEXRAD, which I will be adding in the future, is that 
it will only give you radar WHERE THEY HAVE GROUND RADAR. That means you 
don't have any weather in much of this country let along out of this country. 
Obviously, we really need, on board Radar, Stormscope, and data link weather 
information, or just land.
