Hey thanks for confirming this. I have a small approx 150mm long skinny stub aerial on top so as Glen mentioned most likely UHF. I'll be reconnecting the broken coax with BNC connectors. That should work OK do you think? I'll find someone to check the SWR before use. Anything else I need to consider?

I have a Pelican PL which has a composite body with aluminium wings. I'm halfway through repairing damage to the bottom of the fuselage. I won't go into how it was damaged at this point but as well as damaged fibreglass it has cut both the coax cables to each antenna. I have both the normal VHF comms radio and also a UHF unit fitted. Both were fitted by the previous owner. There is a dipole type and also a stub type at the top with it's ground plane attached underneath inside the plane. I don't know which radio was connected to which antenna. Does it matter? Should I just ditch the UHF?

I'm in need of some parts for my plane and someone said I should contact Bob Magnolia. I think he may be in North Carolina. He replied and said he has what I need. Just wondering has anyone here dealt with him before - is he reliable? I'm in Australia and he said he wants payment by wire transfer which kinda rings alarm bells for me.

Hi there Franco Just had a quick browse on your facebook page and your place there looks great what with all your lovely plants and flowers everywhere. Those drifters look like a lot of fun. I trained with Ron Watson in Innisfail and he pointed out your place once when we were on a nav to Gordonvale and the tablelands. Sorry bout the short message but getting late after a big day at work - I'll get back to you soon.

Similar - at their thickest they're about 1.5 inches Here's mine with the fairings on so to be clear, are there are no parts available? How can I contact Serge and/or his company? Emails I have sent previously have bounced back. Thanks

Anybody here own or fly a Pelican PL or know where I can get some main landing gear legs for one? They were a Canadian kit years back and since been taken over by Ballard Sport Aircraft in Quebec - have had no luck e-mailing or calling them Home

Hello my name is Martyn - just joined today. Live in the deep north of QLD in a little village called Kuranda just west of Cairns. Used to be a motor mechanic but now work in Cairns in a shop selling bearings, tools, car parts and hydraulic hoses among other things. I own a RA-Aus registered Pelican PL which was built a while back by a guy in Ayr and I'm hoping for one thing to hook up with other Pelican owners on here. Have been browsing the forums for a while so decided now's the time to log on.
