OK, here's a little something I fabricated for our RV-3 - I'm guessing the avionics guru's out there will recognize it right off.....

Glide slope antenna. A lttle longer and it will make a fine marker beacon ant.

Yup - I've described it a few times - first time I ever took a picture of the thing.....on the -3, it will be burried in the gear leg fairing.

if the exposed portion of the center conductor is near other metal parts, does it still perform OK! I plan on adding this to my RV-8 when the GNS 430 comes in soon. I will try it around the Roll Bar windshield intersection like you described.
