Hi group.

First, my thanks to David Jones, David Buckwalter, DW Johnson and Dan
Schaefer for answering my last query.

I've reached the "final" stage of deciding on antenna placements for my
IV-P.  Three (ha!) questions remain:

1.  COM1 is going in the vert stab.  Where have people placed their COM2
in the IV?  I THINK I'd like a dedicated COM2 and, of course, I'd like
it internal :)

2.  What's the scoop on Glide Slope antennas.  Have y'all used a
splitter on one of the wingtip VOR antennas or what?

3.  Any inputs on an internal transponder antenna?  My plan was to only
have one VOR (and hopefully GS) antenna in one wingtip and place the
transponder in the other.  Any thoughts?

As an added point of conversation, I was thinking about using copper
pipe (in place of the factory plastic tube) as my wing electrical
conduit.  My plan is to use this as my electrical ground to the
wingtip.  Again, any thoughts?
