Installing communication
antennas on an aircraft is an
intimidating task for many builders. The job is
not complete until the coax cable is connected
and you turn the radio on - often wondering if it will
all work as expected the first time! How
does one know if the antenna is "tuned"
optimally - or worse yet - whether any wiring
errors on the cable connectors will damage your
expensive radio.
This week we
show how a sophisticated antenna
analyzer is available and simple to use -
letting you know before you power on the radio
if the antenna system is actually configured
properly. This device provides real
confidence when installing com antennas in your
homebuilt aircraft.
Our new
Fuel
system Plumbing DVD released a couple
months ago has been exceptionally well received
by builders. We felt it a good idea to remind
our audience that obtaining good fuel system knowledge
and skills is critical in creating a safe
aircraft. The days of using rubber hoses for all
fuel connections is over - as the average
builder now has the access and knowledge to
fabricate and install rigid fuel lines as
desired.
Our DVD
explains the tools and
procedures for plumbing an experimental aircraft
fuel system utilizing: rubber hose,
metal tubing,
and high-tech flexible hoses. Target
audience: those that have never
worked with rigid fuel lines before! At just $29, this is
our best value - Order one
