Thoughts on mounting the GPS antenna in front of windshield on upper cowling.
I saw one of the other builders do this. Looked pretty cool.

Does the WAAS GPS antenna require any special mounting method or location different from the "regular" GPS antenna? In other words, will it still work fine mounted under the upper cowl?
Would it work fine if mounted under a fiberglass access panel in front of the windshield as Dan Checkoway did?
Thanks,
Makes me wonder why his original antenna went bad. Spec'd to 105 degrees C... certainly possible to exceed that, at the top inside of the cowl at the end of a long taxi on a hot day.Not if you do it like this...
