• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

My S1 came with a monopole whip antenna installed on the belly just aft of the lexan. I guess the idea is that the metal skin provides the ground plane but I'm not sure about the way it is mounted, earthed and shielded.
Anyone got any tips? The photo is of the base of the antenna taken from inside. The white lead goes off to a ground on airframe tubing.
Thoughts on the re-wiring of the antenna base? It is connected to an ICOM hand-held mounted in the cockpit.
