John, yes you are right, those are Ryan TCAD antennae on top and bottom of the fuselage. We wanted to locate them both exactly on centerline, and to do that we had to relocate the door strut a little bit below where it originally was located (on the fuselage) so that the door opens a bit less than usual and does not hit the top antenna. Also we had to redo the hydraulics on the floor and make them go around the bottom antenna connectors. All our antennae are now perfectly lined up, giving us oh let's say half a knot of extra speed ? Well whatever the extra speed gain, it looks better and makes me feel good so what better reason for the effort ? By the way, we used your carbon hinges for the aileron trim. Are you the wing bolt and static wick guy ? If so we have those too. Photos of everything mentioned above available on request, Regards, fili
