I am installing the GPS antenna for my GNS430W. (I HAVE THE TIP UP CANOPY ON A RV7-A). The install manual says the the #1 item regarding the WAAS antenna is to place it level (in flight) for proper operation. It aso states that behind the canopy is the best place for location.
I have a RV7A and I have an 8 degree up slope behind my tip up canopy. The only level place I can find on the airplane is on the bottom fuselage and that will not work.
I have seen some GPS antenna's mounted behind the tip up canopies. My question is, do you have any problems with the WASS in that position or are you using some kind of structure to make the antenna level?
I appreciate your help.
