Hi
I just spent a few minutes chatting with Bob Archer regarding placement of his NAV antenna in -10 wingtips. I must say he was very helpful!
Anyway, the question he couldn’t answer definitively was about possible interference between HID landing lights and his antenna. I have a set of LoPresti HID landing lights that I plan to install as well as an Archer Nav antenna. Has anyone found a way to get these to co-exist or am I going to have to forgo the Archer antenna?
By the way – I plan to have a wig wag capability which I am sure won’t help matters….
Inquiring minds need to know…..

HI Dave
Thanks for the info. Perhaps all is not liost.
I took a look at the Plane Lights site and the setup seems similar to the LoPresti systems. How did you run the wires across the antenna and where did you place the ballast in particular?
Cheers
Les

Les,
I'm contemplating the same situation. My current plan is to change the location of the LoPresti lights from the wingtip to the leading edge of the wing. This will solve the 2 problems I'm facing. 1. LED NAV light placement and 2. Bob Archer antenna placement. The LoPresti recommended instructions restricts &/or limits placement of the Luxeon Stars that I bought last year. Relocation to the LE frees up the wingtip.
Installation looks simple according to Tim's instructions. http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/wing/duckworksHIDS/index.html
Parts are available from Duckworks: http://www.duckworksav.com/InstallKits.html

IIRC Archer has a method to run the wires, you can see where I mounted the ballast by checking the site for the install photos as that is my aircraft pictured.

Hi John
I had thought about that as well and then decided I didn’t want to mod the leading edge of the wing. The leading edge mod looks interesting though and Tim’s website certainly makes it seem doable.
Cheers

Bob Acher's installation instruction has the wires running AROUND THE FRONT of the wingtip antenna (Adel clamps provided.). This is supposedly improves the operation of the antenna.
Running any wires ACROSS the antenna destroys the operation of the antenna.
The wingtip NAV antenna should mount as far forward in the wingtip as possible.

When I spoke to Bob he explained that the wires were part of the antenna. That is why they MUST follow the angle of the antenna, otherwise they cause interferance.
