No external antenna to collect gunk. KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) FWIW, I don't see planning ahead and mounting antennae internally so they don't create drag to be stupid. Perhaps your mileage and may vary. :o) -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM > Wouldn't it work to just wash it once in a while? K

I sure hope you weren't taking the acronym as an insult. None intended. I'm not sure how much drag is generated by a transponder antenna. Maybe it's just my aluminum airplane days talking. Dan Prichard. Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 14, 2014, at 3:29 PM, Jeff Scott via KRnet > wrote: > > N

Seeing the transponder fairing photo (second photo down at http://www.n56ml.com/fairings.html ) reminds me of the ultimate wisdom I finally attained on transponder antennas...there's no better fairing than putting the stupid antenna inside the fuselage! My main obstacle to that revelation during

Pete, The data rate for the transponder and for ADS-B, in or out, has nothing to do with the radio frequency (rf) being used, in this case 1030 and 1090 MHz. These two frequencies will go through plywood and paint just fine. Carbon fiber is conductive, much like aluminum, and does not allow muc
