My name is Dennis Ramsey.  I recently purchased an early 90’s vintage IV kit (from Todd Winkler who purchased it from Dick Studer).   I have looked at numerous IV photos and I see several planes with no exposed NAV or Com antennae.  In fact it looks like perhaps transponder and/or DME antennae seem to be hanging in the wind.  The current Lancair recommendation for the NAV antennae is to use whisker antennae on the tail.  I don’t recall seeing that on any planes.   I was wondering what the antennae model number recommendations were of IV owners and where you hid them.  I assume the com is in the vertical and the Nav’s in the wing tips, marker beacon in the wing root?  GPS in the tail?  I appreciate any help you can provide on your solution and how it is working for you.  Thank you.
