Seems like one of the last warm days of the year so I thought I would do a
bit of work in the garage. Installing the antennas today. Already have the
radio and elt antennas in place. Now looking for a place for my transponder
antenna. The floor is already closed up so cant run coaxial there. My inner
floor goes all the way back to the elevator pulley. I could mount just to
the rear of that or just in front of the main cage but that puts it in
between the gear. Any ideas or suggestions.

Hi Nig,

Remind me again what the FUS 5 is?

Hi Roland

If I remember correctly it's the square tube running across the floor from
side to side (there's two of them) that attach to the bottom of the struts,
and have the control torque tube mounted on them. The cabin area floor sits
on them and runs rearward, but in front of them there is just the underfoot
floor skin that the rudder pedals are mounted on.

[rebel-builders] Transponder Antenna

I've put more than one thru the floor ahead of the rudder pedals. As long as
you're away from your exhaust pipes it works just fine there Roland and
makes it really simple to access/wire/inspect.

Thanks Nig and Wayne,

I thought of putting it where Nig suggested but wanted to make sure before I
drill any holes... once again an awesome resource this site is. Where else
can you get "expert" advice in less than an hour.

I also put my TED monopole on the floor just forward of the cage, pretty
far to the right side to accommodate other things in the area. Seems to
work fine, including for Mode S traffic. I put a curved, removable "bridge"
foot guard over the top of the coax connection inside, so passenger feet
won't bang on it. Some photos are at:

http://n254mr.com/node/1342
http://n254mr.com/node/1481
http://n254mr.com/node/1484

Don't seem to have a decent photo of the bridge cover within reach yet, but
will take and send or post one if you're interested.


Ron
