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.

This is copied from the Eagle forum.

The PO of my Eagle relocated the VHF antenna to the left forward belly, slightly aft and inboard of the gear. The plane has the original totalizer and harness, installed to the plans with the rear cockpit control (not the optional throttle quadrant button.)
When transmitting on certain frequencies in the lower end of the range (121-122 kHz) for more than a second or two, the totalizer resets. Very inconvenient.
Has anyone else ever run into this? Suggestions?
I am rerouting the antenna coax away from the wiring harness and removing and twisting the rear cockpit control wires.

Thanks.

Chris
