Default Antenna Installation on Longez

I want to install a foil antenna for the VOR receiver. I'd like to
install the antenna ( foreswept " V " ) either on the underside of
the Canard wing or the main wing. My question is, after I solder
the foil to the two wires, how do I get the torroids and coax back to
the fuselage to run to the radios. I don't want to disrupt the shape
of the wing by running wires on the undersurface.


Have you already glassed the exterior of the foam wing and canard cores?

Yes, the wings are fully glassed. I bought the bird in " flying "
condition, . .but with no paint yet. It had a small antenna on the
underside of the canard, but it's too small. Each leg is only about
18 inches long. Glennbob
