I have a question regarding nav reception using the Bob Archer
winglet/wingtip mounted antenna. If a second antenna was mounted in the stbd
winglet/wingtip and the singles combined (a splitter connected in reverse?)
would the combined signal strength be sufficient to give a useful nav range?
Anyone with any ideas?

And another question on a different subject for high flyers! With
honeycombed skins such as used on the wing skins what happens to the air
trapped inside the honeycomb considering the outer surface is sealed with
the external paint and the inner surface is sealed with tank sealer?
Presumably the air contained in each individual cell can't move sideways
through neighbouring cells so that at altitude there can be a considerable
pressure pushing the inner and outer skins of the honeycomb apart. Obviously
there's more than sufficient design strength in the honeycomb to cope with
this pressure but I'm wondering what the max design strength is and what the
margins are.
