|
|
Sometime in the future (already delayed at least once) Canada will require ADS-B with diversity antenna. The bottom one is not a problem, but the top one could be for my RV-9A. I hate the look of any antenna on the top profile of the fuselage.
Thinking ahead for when this becomes a requirement, a standard rod style or shark fin style transponder antenna would fit nicely under the vertical stabilizer fiberglass tip fairing and would be mounted to the vertical stabilizer top rib. The top rib is aluminum and measures 2" x 7". I understand the ground plane in this location is rather small. Would this location work at all?

I think that a transponder antenna on that rib will work fine.
A bigger problem is a transponder that can only be connected to one antenna. There is an article in the December 2019 issue of Kitplanes Magazine about the proposed Canadian requirements and transponders.

Hi Terry; You may already be aware of this but uAvionics is developing a Canadian version of their wingtip mounted SkyBeacon.
More info can be found here
https://uavionix.com/testing-sbx/
It will be called SkyBeacon-X.
This is the option I'm waiting for.

Could a plastic airplane do with a single dipole antenna in the tail?
The Kitplane article (in 12-2019) does not say.
