It's time to mount my comm antenna and I am getting mixed reviews which
is better top or bottom. Since I doubt I'll be doing any rough field
landings that isn't an issue. I'm sort of leaning to it just doesn't matter.


On my 801 with a Icom- 200 I mounted it on the bottom. You spend 99%
of the time flying and the radios you are transmitting to are on the
face of the earth, ie, under you, so the bottom seems logical.. Mine
works great down there. YMMV.
