REFLECTOR: stormscope install ?

[Lawrence J. Epstein, MD]

I fly with both WX weather and a Stormscope. Very different data. Nexrad/Wx
weather shows only cloud to ground lightning or about 10% of strikes and is
delayed (can be 15 min old). Useful for planning >30-60 min out, but not for
"tactical" decision making. 

 

If you can find a way to get the Stormscope working, it adds tremendous
peace of mind.

I am perfectly happy using satellite weather. I'm sure there are benefits to
a storm scope in addition to this, but have never had the opportunity to use
both. 
I get so much utility from AnyWhere Map that I intend to use that in the V
as well.

Have any velocities that use light speed electronic ignitions succesfully
installed a stormscope?  I I did a skin mapping on my XLRG with duel light
speed electronic ignitions and found no spot on the airplane that didn't set
off the mapper.  The best spot was at the end of the wing right next to the
winglet but on powering up the engine it was no good.   I may have to give
up on using  a stormscope. Any Ideas?    Tim
