I have all my antennas..com, nav, and 2 gps antennas under fiberglass. The GPS antennas are just forward of the wind screen, theNav antenna is in the belly and the com in the leading edge of the vert stabilizer.
The only difference between my plane and the prototype is the primer and my control surfaces (elevator, rudder, ailerons, and flaps) are carbon fiber not fiberglass. Everything in the prototype works just fine.
The Prototype used PPG K36 with K201 hardener, I used Dupont Nason 421-19 with 483-87 hardener.
The MDSS lists aluminum, iron sulfate and carbon black in unknown quantities in the DuPont product. These are not listed in th MDSS for the PPG product.
I find I transmit and recieve normally on frequencies below 125.00 but TX and RX is very weak above this. My Nav reception is exceedingly weak across the board and both GPSs take up to 10 minutyes to lock and then only see 4 sats.
The com nav bench checks fine and when I recieved the BMA Efiss and tested them in the car they locked on in seconds.
Can the stuff in the primer cause this? If so how large an area around the antennas do I need to sand.
