• 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.

Hello everybody,

Does anybody has experience with the internal wing antennas as described by Dr. Hall and plywood leading edges? I understood that the internal antennas may only work with aluminum leading edges because of the shielding/ground effect. Thus, I assume that a wing antenna does not work if plywood LEs are used, right? Is this really true and if yes how did you resolve this problem if you want to stay with the plywood LEs and the internal wing antennas? I'm very curious about your feedback.

Regards,

Klaus
