Hoping to hear from someone that has installed a NGT 9000+ (active traffic) in an RV.
Reading through the install specs for the directional antenna it states:
"The mounting site should be on the top forward fuselage, as close to the centerline as possible, and within -10? forward pitch of the in-flight horizon.
The optimum mounting point for maximum coverage is as far forward as possible without exceeding the -10? forward pitch."
With our bubble canopies the most forward top position would be right behind the baggage window which has a negative slope to the rear.
The only way I can figure to level it would be to construct a ramp for it to sit on riveted to the top skin. Would this type of arrangement mess up the antenna's ground plane? Thanks
