   Mike, if you mounted a Jim Weir ELT

   antenna on the side of your fuselage,

   how long would the coax need to be to

   run from the antenna apex junction

   to your ELT?

Thanks for your help Bob

 

Shortest run possible is 1 foot and I can put antenna 5 to 6 ft away on other side of fuselage and run antenna for +/- 8 ft max from current ELT mount. I can reposition the ELT elsewhere in the fuselage but I imagine one does not want then too far apart

 

Hope this helps

 

I will be away for 5 days so will not be able to respond

 

Thanks

 

Mike

   No problem. The reason I'm asking is

   that I'll need to assemble an exemplar

   antenna to test . . . but don't have

   an airplane of my own.



   So, assuming the tests are encouraging,

   I'd be pleased to donate the test

   article to your project. The factory-fab

   coax cables I have for the test would

   leave about a 2' flying lead with a

   BNC connector on it.



   If that would be long enough, then

   I think we have a plan for the

   testing residuals.

Greetings all,



Can a single layer bid carbon layup (of appropriate size) suffice as a ground plane?

Thanks in advance

Rich

Bob

 

Thank you very much 

 

I really appreciate your efforts and would gladly contribute to cover the costs

 

2 feet would be more than enough

 

Thanks again

 

Mike

   Sorry, no. Sheet resistance is too high and making

   an electrical connection is problematic. Ground

   systems in TC composite a/c are  . . . well . . .

   I'll be kind: astounding.
