I have Bob Archer nav antennas in each wing tip.
So far it appears that they work at close range if the fuselage is not 
between the transmitter and the antenna.
The wing is carbon, the fuselage is carbon and the top of the winglet (I 
believe) is carbon.
My belief, unverified, is that you would have a usable nav installation if 
the winglet were all glass and you had an antenna switcher.
What I did is hook one nav antenna to each receiver.
I recommend wiring for the tail whisker in case you don't like the results.

Yes the com is in the tail.  I also have a learjet antenna on the belly. 
The tail mounted one has less range but is less subject to obstruction from 
the fuselage in a turn.
there are certain airplane attitudes relative to the transmitter that don't 
work on my com 1 (belly mounted).  If I were to do it over again I would put 
the com absolutely as high in the tail as I could get it and work real hard 
with measuring the com effectiveness before bonding it in.  I'm sure others 
will post how to do that.

installation is everything.
