Antennae Wrap?

[ifxmnfly]

The fuselage of the ParkHawk just happens to be perfect for wrapping the antennae to shorten it. But will the graphite interfere with the antennae reception? See attached picture for a depiction of the idea.

Parkhawk fussalage made of carbon...

Bad idea!

You might consider the Azarr micro antenna. (http://www.azarr.com/antennas.htm)

Be sure to keep us posted, I'm looking forward to some flight reports

The attached picture was too big, so I resized it. Hope this is better.

Ifxmnfly, I used a base-loaded antenna w/ GWS-R4P as shown here : http://www.uoguelph.ca/~antoon/gadgets/flywire.htm on my ParkHawk. The fuselage is glass not carbon. I have my antenna in direct contact with it. I have flown to pretty high altitudes with no glitches.
