Does any body have any experience with this antenna mounted in
the wing tip of an RV?

A regular whip antenna can have as much as 3 pounds of drag at 230 MPH which
translates to a HP requirement of about 2.3 HP. That is a fuel burn of about
1.2 pounds an hour or about .2 gallons an hour.

"Advanced Aircraft Electronics Inc. (AAE) offers a series of aircraft antennas
specifically designed to be used without a ground plane.  This means that
composite aircraft and fabric covered aircraft can now have their antennas
mounted totally within the structure. "

    Paul,

I do not have experience with these antenna,but I heard they are really good.They are called Bob Archer antenna after the designer.You can google Bob Archer antenna for more info.They have them at Air craft Spruce for a cheaper price.I believe they also have these antenna for metal air craft.I think I might have one installed inside the Horizontal stab. of the KIS Cruiser,do you remember the cable that was sticking out of the horz. stab. that we did not know what was it for,I believe that might be for this type of antenna.I have to take the horz. stab. to the airport and connect the cable to my hand held radio to see if that is true.
