I am building RV8. I am trying to figure out all the antenna placements

before closing up the wings.

Hello Dan,  One of my friends commented that I had my ELT antenna installed 

with

improper orientation. I said "Fine, tell me just exactly what attitude my

fuselage will be in when I am finished crashing and I will reinstall my

antenna accordingly." He smiled and got the point.



What attitude will your fuselage be in when you finish crashing?

PS: The garden variety 121.5 Mhz ELT is just congressionally mandated dead 

weight. Put the ELT in because you have to. Carry a personal locator beacon 

because you want to. http://www.sarsat.noaa.gov/emerbcns.html. A cell phone 

and a hand held VHF comm radio are also beneficial.
