Com Antenna
I'm about ready to go shopping for the Cherokee. I've got a brand new
Microair 760 radio for the panel and I'd like to complement that with a new antenna. There is plenty of room in the tail to mount a normal airplane style com antenna. what are other people using? What would I need to use for a ground plane? Piece of aluminum same radius as the antenna length? -Tony Condon Cherokee II N373Y |

Piece of aluminum same radius as the antenna length? Most non-metallic gliders use a dipole antenna. Look for that type, as they are a lot easier to mount than one with a ground plane. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA * Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly * "Transponders in Sailplanes" http://tinyurl.com/y739x4 * Sections on Mode S, TPAS, ADS-B, Flarm, more * "A Guide to Self-launching Sailplane Operation" at www.motorglider.org |

Com Antenna
Hi Tony,
I have several options he http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/antennas.htm I'd probably go with the AAE or Sportcraft antennas because they don't need a ground plane.
