VOR Antenna Install

 4/29/23

The VOR/ Localizer antenna is installed. It works remarkably well. In my hangar, with the door open and facing away from the runway, I still get good localizer signal strength. Go figure.

I will probably glue some soft shipping foam padding on the ends to keep it from rattling in the wing tip.

Note: I did this VOR antenna install to check out the nav radio prior to finishing the tip. I may incorporate the antenna into the lower section of the tip using the nut plates as the ground.

Update: I did not incorporate the VOR antenna into the bottom of the tip. Ask me at Oshkosh why not.
