I recently acquired a C-172-B to fly as BH-535 comes into being. I am having transponder issues which I think I have tracked to the antenna- it keeps breaking off.
The last one I put on broke off before flight and I finally figured out that it was "the dog ate it". Or just chewed it off the airframe. So, any ideas on how to guard the transponder antenna from dog damage? I decided to order and install a blade type antenna. Only more expensive if you don't have to buy the regular variety in bulk. I will post if my pups eat the fin off.
