G’day all,
I bought a Comant CI-121 NAV/COM/GS Antenna (V dipole) to install on my VS but I have discovered that it won’t fit.
The diameter of the mounting base is 2.5 inches and that will not fit into the Fibreglass Fairing on top of the VS.
Which V dipoles have other people used on their VS?
Cheers

Hi John,
I realize you posted about this a few months old, but I thought I'd comment on your VOR antenna mounting conundrum. You called out a "CI-121 Nav/COM/GS", but I think you really meant something like a CI-158C which is a Di-pole VOR/GS/Loc antenna. The CI-121 is a fiberglass COM antenna only.
Here is the Cheif web page on NAV/GS/Loc antennas:

In any case, I mounted a CI-158C in the fin of my RV-8 and it works very nicely there. Here are some pictures of the installation:

Yes thank you Matt, You are right I quoted the wrong model. From memory it
is indeed a C-158. I didn't think to
Let out the Fibreglass more to get it to fit. Thank you to you and everyone
else for your photos.
Cheers
