General Discussion / Aerial/Antenna fitting to a Luscombe 8

« on: November 29, 2020, 10:40:05 am »

Hi all,
 looking for information from other Luscombe 8 owners on aerial/antenna installation for PAW external fit. Or other similar aircraft.
I have a Trig TT22, TN72, TA70 and AV74 Antenna. So now have ADS-B out.
AV74 fitted just forward of frame 4.
Strobe about frame 3. Wind generator about frame 2.
Thinking of putting PAW antennas, forward of wind generator, ie between frame 1 and 2.
Any thoughts / suggestions / or what have others done ?
Kindest regards,     Peter
 

UPDATE !!   
Ok, so while I’m still thinking about “permanent installation“, I have jury rigged my PAW and fitted AIRCREW on RAM mounts.
 The PAW will go under instrument panel, probably against firewall, when I decide to do it. Wanted to try it all before drilling holes/cutting metal !

Tip : how do you know if Bluetooth connected ?
 Had 3.5 jack connected to PAW / BOSE A20 , when it was connected by Bluetooth, as well, the ladies voice says, “Pilot Aware”, twice !
 Only did it once, before I got Bluetooth to connect!

       Best wishes,  Peter
