I just stuck em where they look cool....lol, I pretty much followed the placement by several builders, the location of my remote transponder led to that antenna located aft of the baggage compartment on the bottom right near the elevator bellcrank. Com 1 is on the right bottom, near the rear seats. GPS and GDL-69A antennas aft of the cabin top on the upper rear skin. Com 2 is an Archer in the right tip along with the MKR BCN made from stripped RG-400 wire, Nav is an Archer in the left tip. I powered the panel the other night the both COM's recieved very well but I'm inside the KVGT's class D space at my house, didn't try to transmit. I was too busy looking for smoke and playing with all the whistles and bells. I used a heat gun to warm the cylinders, EGT and CHT started to show a rise from the 92 degress in the garage to about 110 before I stopped warming the cylinders, MAP was holding a steady reading so far it looks OK. Thankfully all seemed to be working as advertised. I could not tell you about the NAV antenna cause the wings are in the hangar and I could not plug them in to see how it was working.....I have only done continuity, short to ground and checked the trim and lights on the wings, no real ops testing there yet....give me about three months
