Wanted to follow-up on the Antenna(s) for the PowerFLARM "Brick": Got
mine today and the updated installation manual on the www.powerflarm.us website is decent; though there's still room for improvement. In the manual, they mention that the dipole antenna mounted on the glareshield should be "at least 4 inches ahead" of the compass. From the "Hall of Fame/Hall of Shame" photos, it would appear that this is referring to the dipole being placed between the pilot's head and the compass. In my DG-300 my compass is not in quite the extreme-forward position as shown in some of those photos. So I may be able to mount the FLARM dipole 4-6 inches forward of the compass (between the compass and the nose of the glider). Any PowerFLARM insiders care to comment on whether this is a bad idea/location? Also: Between my 2 loggers' GPS antennae and the PowerFLARM antennae, I'm running out of places to stick them all, while maintaining good separation. Any comments on whether the ADS-B antenna would work OK if I stick it to the inside the "roof" of the turtledeck? The ship is all fiberglass, but I wonder about the landing-gear metal below, the nearby speaker in the turtledeck, the proximity to the wing-spars (8-12 inches away), etc. Thoughts/comments/ideas? Thanks! --Noel |
