REFLECTOR: A CURRENT PIC OF MY PLANE

[Rene Dugas]

I have Shaw wings with embedded com and nav ant.   Mine were produced  
about '97.  They have about 12" sections of carbon at the aileron  
attach points and 8 to ten inch patches for rudder points. Both my  
ant.s work fine. I have over 450 hrs flying over the entire US.  
Transponder is another matter but a new radio finally fixed that too.
