RE: Europa-List: Europa Classic Pre Purchase Advice

If you don't mind paying a bit, I find the AAE composite antennas are trouble 
free.
You can mount the com behind the bulkhead bonded to the fuselage and they
work flawlessly.  No tuning or anything.
Aircraft Spruce has them.  I also find the transponder antenna really easy to 
use.
About $120USD for piece of mind plug and play.

Subject: Europa-List: Europa Classic Pre Purchase Advice


I have just completed my finale purchase inspection of a Europa Classic. 

If the purchase proceeds, I will probably replace the transceiver 

As you will know the Europa's composite skin facilitates the installation of an
internal transceiver antenna. I this case a dipole, in the vertical tail/fin.


My question is: Is the dipole inherently "tuned" ? or could it require SWR  
adjustment
?

In my research, I checked every Europa Mandatory& Recommended Modification - all
Mandatory's have been done EXCEPT a LAA "Standard Modification"  No SM11906,
Issue 2, "Stabilator Torque Tube Drive Assembly Your comments/advice on this
omission wold be much appreciated
