Fatal to at least one RIP

Actually was a Cessna this time! But not a Challenger or Learjet. FlightRadar24 shows a C421 VH-VPY that tracked east for a while then turning around and gently drifting down to sea level. Well done to the crew for successfully ditching the aeroplane. Robert

Looks like a Piper Tri-Pacer

It is called a dipole antenna. They are used in places where there is no electrical groundplane. Picture a metal Tecnam with an antenna on top. The aeroplane becomes the groundplane for the antenna. A dipole is generally more efficient than a simple antenna. I would leave it alone. Over to you RFguy 😋 Robert See RFguy has just beat me. 🤪

114 is a lovely aeroplane. Many happy hours in VH-UGM years ago.

Paywall

Done.

Two doors. Really nice aeroplane. Not a quick as a Bonza, but very comfortable an roomy.

Yep. My first flight on type. Noice.

DG-200 glider resurrected after 6yrs storage. New panel with Open Vario nav, LX S7 vario, Colibri flight recorder. Yes, I know the yaw string is too far off centre 😏

Thread drift much?

Jonker JS3 Rapture 😎

The one with the red tail is a Fox two seat aerobatic glider.

They did. I have flown a Ventus with one fitted. Never tried IMC, but it looked as though it would have worked OK. Actually, I think a Bohli would not need a North/South version because of the way it works. Google it and you will see what I mean. Robert
