Yes the Nav. antenna in the wing was an option as mentioned by Colin Jones, we had originally intended to put the antenna in the small tail which came with the kit. However when we changed to a Mk II we started inquiring as to where other people had placed them as by this time the wings were well advanced and were finished prior to any work being done on the tail. At the time there was also a lot of talk about the reliability of these antennas and the thought of it being in the top of the baggage compartment and accessible during the avionics testing was considered a benefit. We would have had a surgery to do though if the com. Antenna gave us a problem, as that is in the vertical tail.

To date all antennas seem to be functioning well, anyone else got their Nav. Antenna in the fuselage ?

To all those of you who usually communicate with me on my regular e mail address of Michael.Holland@Halliburton.com please continue to do so. This new address of mtholland@halnet.com  is one I use when I'm in Angola as I can't access my normal one. However all messages to the former are bounced to me and also retained in the normal mailbox. It just makes it easier to respond from this one.

Wishing all you Lancair folks a very Merry Christmas and Clear Skies and Safe Flying for 1999.

Regards,

Michael Holland
