Picking up my wings this week or first part of next...
I plan on running one conduit down each wing for lights/strobes/autopilot, etc. but have heard that it's not good practice to run antennae in the same conduit with strobes due to potential interference. That said, what are the options for my comm. antennae's location? (I have no desire to put in a nav antennae, so that's not an issue.) I've heard some people recommend putting the comm ant. up around--and inside--the cannopy/fuse area with no need for any antennae in the wing at all. That would be my preferred method rather than 2 conduits down one or more wings.
Any thoughts about what location of comm. antennae works best and whether there is any reason to run more than one conduit down each wing?
Aside from conduit, proseal, and Duckworks leading edge light kits, is there anything I should pick up from Van's while I'm there picking up my wings?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Steve
