3/1/2006
Hello Fellow Listers, I am trying to identify an object on the bottom of the
fuselage of a Beech Sierra airplane. It is black plastic about the size of a
cigar box. Embossed on the bottom of the box is an arrow pointing forward
and the letters 3M.
It was described at one time as a GPS antenna, but that does not make much
sense to me. Why would a GPS antenna be on the bottom of the fuselage? I
also am not able to locate any antenna created by 3M.
Any good ideas? Many thanks.

I have a similar looking box on my C-150. Mine is a 'loop' antenna for
an old ADF. Earl

At one time 3M owned Stormscope. Could it be an antenna for that product?

Thanks to all that responded. It is indeed a Stormscope antenna made by 3M
back in the days when they were replacing Ryan as the manufacturer of that
equipment.
