When you are circling in a 45 bank, the antennae are far from vertical and seem still to work....



Now that we are starting to get AHRS into the cockpit, you can gimbal the antenna so it's always vertical.

I sell an antenna with a hinge and a cat. Throw the cat and watch (a cat always comes down feet first) then adjust the antenna.

I tried the "hinge and cat kit" and found it to have serious flaws. The hinge was loose so the antenna flops around in turbulence. Not being a helicopter pilot, I found it difficult to stay in a tight thermal while using stick and rudder trying to keep the antenna up straight. The cat didn't help much, the one I received was freeze dried with a label clearly stating "Best Use Before Sept. 2008" Richard, you need to rotate stock.

Probably a typo. The kit has serious claws.

You need to ensure that the cat is supplied by Schrodinger, it is then
vertical and not vertical at the same time, and you do not need to feed it.
