Huh?


It is an antenna with separate connectors for the VHF comm and the VOR
antenna. It mounts on top of the fuselage, usually over the
pilot/co-pilot location. The antenna looks like a forward swept VHF
blade. At the top is a backward swept V shaped dipole. The blade is
the comm antenna, the dipole is the VOR antenna. I may be wrong, but
I assume that they were originally designed for the V-tail Bonanza
because it did not have a vertical stabilizer to mount the VOR.

Thanks,
Brian


Gotcha. I had never heard them called that before.
