J jhiggins Active Member Dec 18, 2014 #1 I am going to install one of these cat whisker NAV antennas under the tail of my RV-6a and I was wondering what the general rule of thumb was about the shape and size, relative to the "hockey puck", to make the doubler.

az_gila Well Known Member Dec 18, 2014 #2 Since it's a -6A, the material under the tail is oversized at 0.040 for strength mounting the tail wheel that you don't have. I would attach it to the F-679 skin (0.040) with no doubler.
