|
|
Bob,
On page 13-16 (Chapter 13, page 16) of the Aeroelectric
Connection there is a diagram of an antenna designed to be fit into a
wingtip.
My best guess is that this antenna requires at least 10.5 inches of
space, measuring the depth of the wingtip from the outer end to the
first wing rib. At most I have about 8 inches of depth in my Glastar
wingtips, but I'd really like to use this type of antenna if possible.
Is it possible to make changes to this antenna so that it will fit in
my wingtip, or should I instead pursue a "Rabbit Ears" design as shown
on page 14?
Do you have specific dimensions and instructions for constructing the
Rabbit Ears antenna, similar to the figures for the wing tip and
glideslope antennas?
Thanks,
-Dj
