A better air-band antenna for Ultralight and Light Sport
Aircraft
- High-performance half-wave end-fed design
- Pre-tuned and completely ground-plane-free - perfect
for composite/fabric aircraft
- Installs in minutes without soldering or drilling -
glues in place on an inside surface
- High-efficiency, wide bandwidth = greater range and
clarity
- Pre-wired mil-spec BNC connector - ready to
plug-and-play
- Receives VOR with appropriate radio
- The longest lasting, best-performing,
easiest-to-install and least expensive
air-band antenna you'll ever love!
Installation
Installation of the Air Whip is a snap. Simply
lay out the whip portion of the antenna into the aircraft nose,
side-panel or even flooring - any area that is free of metal and spanned
by a composite or fabric surface. The
antenna is then fastened in place using velcro, glue, cable ties, or
even duct tape. The Air Whip has been mounted in Cub floors, Champ tails,
Challenger noses, and Chinook sides, all with great success. Principle
of operation The Air Whip uses a unique common-mode inductive core made of VHF ferrite
material to isolate the feedline from the main body of the
antenna. This permits feeding a complete half-wave dipole antenna
from the end rather that in the middle, and gives an antenna that
installs as a single length of wire. Since
a dipole is a complete antenna, there is no need to provide a
groundplane as is the case with ordinary
quarter-wave whips. The result
is an antenna that has better bandwidth and higher efficiency than
traditional quarter-wave antennas
and is much easier to install. Expect better range, clearer
communications, and next to zero maintainence. Other
applications
- Excellent ELT antenna - non-rigid structure
enhances mechanical durability - more likely to survive
- Great temporary base antenna - strap it to a stick
and plug it in
- Hundreds installed with great results and reviews.
- Only $98.00 (pricing is CAD for canadian
clients, USD for all others)
