We have not been able to get IFR signed off with the winglet antenna from Bob Archer as they want to see 60 miles on the 138 omni from Melbourne at 2000 ft....we were fading out at around 40 and could not keep a signal during a left or right hand turn....this was with one winglet and then one winglet joined to an internal antenna we mounted high up in the rear fuse. Our options are now: Stay with the belly mount Remove the VOR, because if it is fitted, they require it to work (we are also running a Garmin 430, Garmin 420 and KR87) Not get IFR sign out WE looked at blades but could not be assured they would solve the problem. Did not want to go with fin mount "rabbit ears" as this required cuts to the skin and reinforcing internally whereas we simply removed a belly mount comm antenna to take the "rabbit ears" on the belly.
