Darn, there goes the though of the cheap vasectomy, so I could put more
money into the instrument panel. I was hoping for double duty so to speak.
LOL. Do not archive.

Chris,
For whatever it's worth I put the transponder in the tunnel as far forward as I could right up next to the firewall and I put the Ryan on the pilots side next to the tunnel forward of the landing gear, so as not to be obstructed. I didn't want another antenna to close to the Ryan if possible.

Guys,
Sort of a late post, but I am a former TomCat guy and you would be shocked to hear the number of guys from my community that ended up with testicular cancer. The Navy wasn't really doing any tests or gathering statistics that the number of guys who ended with issues really seemed to stand out at least in my age group. I don't have any proof but sitting with the world's most powerful air intercept radar between your legs seems to have some impact.
On a more building related note can anyone help me out with lighting. I am working on my empennage kit and have been told by others not to order my light kit due to bulb aging but it seems I should be running conduit now? Can anyone tell me were to run it and what they used?
Thanks

Under the seat however, the moicrowaves would be going through several
layers of metal to find your privates, unless your a low hanger.

Michael,
I used snap bushings to route from the tail forward then conduit from the battery area forward. You could use smaller diameter diameter conduit than the 3/4" available from Van's but it would be OK as long as the holes weren't opened too much through the bulkheads, actually you could just zip tie the conduit to the bulkheads. The only wires from back there are the tail light, strobe, elevator trim and VOR antenna if you are using one in the tail. The tail light & strobe wires combo exits the last bulkhead through a 3/16's hole and enters the bottom fairing using a molex connector on the strobe and a simple spade connector on the bulb.
