What Scot and Mike said. Why waste the time/effort/money to install a marker beacon?

Thank You VAF and the people that respond. Sometimes these sound like crazy ?'s to the pros but were not all pro's just trying to get this 7 done and in the air with as little having to go back and add or remove wrong thoughts or stuff. Thanks Again Jeff

I put a nice expensive Comant MB antenna in the wingtip on the RV-10 when I was building it. I pulled it out before the plane was finished.

Stripped coax glassed into the lower cowling. Works great.

Why? Because the audio panel has the lights and sounds for MBs, so why not?

I have the expensive MB antenna under the tail of the airplane only because I have a MB receiver in the panel. Would take both the antenna and MB out but do not like the idea of having holes that need something else added to cover the holes.

Have never used the MB on an IFR approach. The OLD non-precision approach GPS has everything needed for IFR other than backup VOR and the SL30 does that.
