Anyone --
Getting my quickbuild wings next month and am planning wire runs through wing before I close it up and want to hide the following antennas -- VHF COMM, VOR/LOC, GS (glide slope), and MB (marker beacon). I'll have a normal VHF COMM wire whip and XPNDR antenna on the belly and a GPS antenna on the glareshield or back deck for VFR operations.
** Anyone have suggestions for which VOR/LOC antennas (dipole or grounded) work best in wingtips? Bob Archer's stuff? Van's copper foil?
** Anyone know if Van's VHF COMM copper foil on the windscreen set-up works?
** Anyone ever mount a GS or VHF COMM diploe antenna in a main gear leg fairing?
** Does 40" of foil in a wintip work for a marker beacon antenna?
Sorry for asking this stuff for the millionith time. Thanks.

You may want to consider the need for marker beacons.... the FAA is turning many off, and your GPS provides you with positioning.

Do a list search for antenna. I have the aluminum flate plate strip VOR/GS antenna
in a wingtip and it works fine. Can't remember the name.

THAT IS THE BOB ARCHER ANTENNA IN YOUR WINGTIP RON. WE HAVE USED IT IN OUR 7A AND GOT GOOD RESULTS.
