Run them together? Widen the holes new grommets? Or what has everyone done who has both the light on top and VOR antennae?
Thanks,

Perfect. Now to get the right length of cable.
Plans call for 1m of 4 core 18 AWG. Well... the cable sent was 1.29m. And it is not long enough. But let me check again. I like how you ran it!
Thanks,

I did mine a little differently, running them through the front. Can’t post pictures for some reason, but my VOR antenna cable is ahead of the VS front spar and beacon wiring in the standard front set of holes just behind the front spar and then angles back towards the top as usual.
Using a Midwest Panel Builders harness, nicely made although large connectors provide a different challenge.

Thanks for the ideas on mounting both the VOR Antenna and strobe on the Vertical Stabilizer and rudder. Any suggestions on where to purchase the antenna/cable and strobe?

Hi!
I’ve enlarged the original holes and used some nylon edge protectors to protect the cables. In my case, the antenna is quite a snug fit in the upper rib and might be bid to thick with the grommets on both ends. Has anyone had the same issue? I’ll probably try to cut down the antenna on both sides to make sure there’s enough space for the grommet.
