Anyone have experience installing a PowerFLARM in a Duo?

Sorry Juan, I don't, though thought I'd mention that it is far better to have the antennas closer to the "Core" box than further away in order to minimize line loss in the coax.



The center fed dipole antenna leads are easy to shorten at the antenna end . . . moderate soldering skill required. I've done previous posts on the procedure.



all the best,

Thanks Bumper. We were able to install the core under the front panel. The Flarm antenna is a problem because it hits the canopy if put in the front of the panel. We may have to build a small bridge to bring it further back.
