Brief Description:  Install VOR/LOC/GS Antenna

1200 - 1700

Today, Dad and I installed the VOR/LOC/GS antenna in the vertical stab.

Design doubler. Layout on 2024 sheet. Fabricate doubler using standard techniques. We ended up with several issues during install that increased the fabrication time. The first issue was the placement of the nut plates. The idea was to rivet them to the doubler and then fit the doubler from the inside of the stab. This wasn't possible due to the small diameter of the lightening hole. The doubler was then installed on the exterior of the rib. Rinet nuts were installed to secure the mounting screws and the doubler was modified to fit around the rivet nuts and provide a flat surface for the antenna base.

Next, we created two slots to accomodate the whip elements. This tokk some time, as it was trial and error. The slots were sized to allow for adequate clearance between the element and the VS skin and the installation of a rubber grommet.

The antenna was test fit and verified.
