Transponder antenna - blade vs stub monopole
Any aerodynamic thoughts on the two available choices?
My ASH-26E came with the stub mounted just behind the wheel. Every now and then it catches on the trailer, so I just straighten it, no big deal. An ASW-24B in our club is about to get a transponder and the factory recommends the installation to be part way up around the fuselage above the rear gear door hinge - looks like just behind the oxygen bottle. The blade looks cool, but is it really any better aerodynamically than a $20 (http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/avpages/ ted_transponder.php) stub? -Tom
