Hi all,

	I'm sure I ran across a web site with information on

constructing your own antennas for aircraft use (wingtip

and/or inside a fiberglass fuselage).  I can't seem to find

the site, though.  Anyone have a lead on this?



Thanks,



-Dj

If your fuselage is composite and has the requisite inside diameter, 

you can take advantage of a loop antenna design that has gain, lower 

noise, and requires no ground plane:

Hi Kevin,

	Thanks for the link!  That wasn't the site I was thinking of but

that looks like a good one.  They have a booklet they sell for $5 that

apparently has several airplane antenna plans in it, and probably worth

getting to have on hand.



	The site I was thinking of had plans and list of materials

on it so you could build the antennas yourself from raw parts.  I've

tried Google with no luck, and I can't seem to find the bookmark for the

site.  Ah well...



Thanks,



-Dj

DJ-



We got a kit from RST Engineering that had a roll of copper foil tape and  

some other harware to make dipole antennas. We put a VOR and a glideslope  

antenna in the wing of our Lancair ES and they work great. The kit comes  

with a booklet with all the info you need to make just about every kind of  

antenna. Call Jim Weir and ask if he still does the kit.



Hope this helps,



John Schroeder
