Last night I had the local chapter of the Sport Aircraft Association visit and look over my Bearhawk, which provided a great opportunity to get some advice from members. Many of them have built more than one aircraft and several of them are current or retired aircraft engineers.
One suggestion was concerning my location of the ELT aerial inside the rear fuselage, and whether it would work given that it is surrounded by the airframe. My understanding (having not read further yet) is that I need to add a ground-plane around the base of the aerial.
Has anyone done it in this manner ? Comments ?
Another suggestion was to invert the lines from my static ports to prevent water ingestion which made immediate sense and was a 2 minute job to fix.
