Dave,

I know it's six years later, but do you still have those scans of the Rebecca Manual? I'd love a copy if you do.

The hanging mount for the BC929 was fabricated from drawings from NASM. The shock mount was fabricated from scratch as I could not find the real deal. Also shown is R65/APN 9 LORAN. The aircraft was a NAV trainer so we presume both APN 2 and APN 9 were installed at one time. All the antenna locations for the APN 2 were existing having been patched over.
