• 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.

Per Randy's request, I am reposting this hoping our new member, Bob Archer might be able to help with this. Of course if anyone else has practical experience with these antennas, I would love to hear about it.

I am wondering how bad the blind spot is with these antennas-

I have yet to hear of someone using these.

This
would have to be installed horizontally in the upper wing (ply leading
edge). It would sit at 6.5 degrees from perpendicular to the thrust
line. We would love to use them but not if the blind spot is too great.

Their
transponder antenna might fit vertically in the upper wing but that is
a lot of extra wire and I was under the impression a transponder
antenna should be kept well away from passengers. Is this true?

cheers,
Jim
