Does anyone have useful comments to make regarding Flarm aerial
placement in a Super Cub ? (Specifically Power Flarm, but regular Flarm also valid ) I flew a Super Cub with a Flarm stuck on top of the panel a few weeks ago and to be frank, it was crap. If you have an installation which you think is good, please tell me about it and ideally provide evidence from the Flarm range display websites (preferably both transmit and receive). For the uninitiated, receive quality can be shown on the Flarm Range Tool web page http://www.flarm.com/support/analyze/index_en.html by uploading an igc file from the Flarm and the transmit quality can be shown online at http://www.kisstech.ch/flarm-liverange/ by inputting the Flarm ID (This only likely to work in Europe) Pmail probably preferable if you want to send screenshots ! Many thanks. |

If you have not yet read the notes on antenna placement, read them.
In our Scout I put the primary antenna on one of the diagonal crossbraces in the baggage compartment. There's enough cable. On the glareshield the engine, gas tank and pilot all block signals. With that position you won't have to worry about a glider descending on top of you. The new Cores require a licence to enable the secondary antenna. |

I have a portable PowerFlarm on the glareshield of my Husky A1-B. It works acceptably well, but doesn't have the range of the PF Core I have installed in my ASH26E (which has the dipole antennas installed on either side in the nose ahead of the rudder pedals.
In the Husky, I wired a transistor driver that switches power to drive a small, super bright LED when there's an audio alarm. The LED is attached to the side of the PF with Velcro. |
