Hi can anyone advise the best position and routing for a 650xi WAAS route on the -10, already built , guess grounding plate needed , top of the aircraft then where? How do you drop down to under the panel without major hassle?

Cheers Stu

The hole in the panel where the 650 will go is huge. With forethought most of the wiring can be done thru that hole. Leave enough slack to connect the wiring to the 650. You’ll only have to go under the panel to cable tie the excess wires. I mounted the antenna back where the metal starts again, for a ground plane. Yes, use a doubler for mechanical strength.
