For those of you who attached Comant antennas on the fuse underside...

Where exactly did you rivet your Comant doublers beneath the rear seats? The
2nd bay in or really in the outboard-most bay? Did you install the doublers and
wire up the antennas and then rivet in the floor or did you save the floor
final attach for later? I'm thinking I'll bugger up the antennas if I put 'em
on now and close up the floors.

Anyone have any photos of the actual installation?

Thanks in advance,
Jay

I've got photos of what I did for my 6A...It's underneath the right seat. Since I nutplated in the seatbottom, I decided to make the antenna removable, dimpled the attach screw holes and made a second plate to cover the center hole.

Zap me direct......

My antenna is beneath the baggage floor. I did the doubler, rivetted it in
place but did not instal the antenna in. I have three access panels in the
bagggage floor. one for the antenna, one for each of the side step bolts. In
my case, anything down there is going to get wacked as I move it out of my
building area.

Jay:

I just installed my Comant bent whip antenna (CI-122) under the left back seat (just 1 antenna), 1 bay outboard of the center channel, and about 4" aft of the aft spar. I installed a doubler with nut plates attached to the doubler, so the antenna can be removed. I have not downloaded the pictures yet; if you would like to see them, I can get the to you tomorrow.

Photos of how my antenna location and doublers are here

I fabricated an access panel above.

On my next RV-10 build Wink I would install it just forward of the rear
seat, under the flap torque tube.

Here is my Comant mount under the rear seat. I put the wire in and dropped
it out the bottom and then sealed up the floors. The antenna mounts from the
outside with platenuts.
