    That's a big help . Why don't you explain what you are talking about. The xair antenna is on a metal bracket on the fuse boom so it should be earthed to the battery anyway.

    Why don't you pay a few dollars a year . It supports the running of this site and you will get your 30 minutes.
  4. BrendAn
    Why.
  5. BrendAn
    I agree. I am going to check where all my earths are running too .

    The question is why do they bother doing it. Running the risk of wrecking their aircraft just to show off.

    So you say if I chuck a jumper on there and the radio comes good I have achieved nothing. Its a quick job on my xair. Battery and antenna are only a meter apart.

    it takes a minute to run a jumper wire to earth. and that will tell me straight away. why do i want a cheap multimeter , i already have 2 good ones,😁

    gets wet when you slow down though.

    as far as voltage regulators go, its pity powermate regs are not made anymore. very robust and i get a constant 14v

    my antenna from mendehlsons came with foil tape to make a ground plane if needed. i am thinking my fuse tube may not have a good earth to the battery so on the weekend i will try a jumper wire from antenna mount to bat neg.

    did mine online, it worked . except they doubled the aircraft so i had to fill in the survey twice for the same plane before it would go through.

    Thanks Geoff. The shield just goes in the back of the plug . I assume it earths at the antenna mount. I will try a jumper lead from mount to batt neg and see if that does anything.
  15. BrendAn
    I am pretty clueless with this stuff. How do you earth the shield at the radio.
  16. BrendAn
    The antenna base is on a metal bracket on the fuse tube. You just made me think of something. The fuse tube might not be earthed if everything else goes to the battery. Thanks Geoff . Will have a look at that

    My DC's are not anr, that's why the Bose is better than them.

    Designed for national geographic to do a tv series in the Congo. It's in the link above.

    I just bought a set of refurbished Bose a 10s for 800. Fantastic compared to my DC's. Wish I could spare 2000 for new ones . Maybe down the track. I couldn't here the CFI properly with the DC's now I hear him loud and clear.

    Can I hijack this thread why you are talking electrics. I have an mgl radio and when I click the push to talk the tacho needle goes haywire. Reception is also scratchy. Would this be a dirty earth somewhere.

    I thought the ultra cruiser was not part 103.
  22. BrendAn
    I thought those conversions had a tooth belt reduction drive.

    Had a look at the spacek after you mentioned it. Very nice looking plane.
