Yes, it was the antenna location problem. It works lots better not that ive moved it back to the belly. Thanks

Thad - Thanks for the video. I’ve done about 5 minutes worth of marginally successful soldering in my life. I’m sure this info will be helpful. Thanks again. DH

I went to the apt today to mess with the antenna and the coax. The ground plane is just a strip of aluminum fairing about 4 x 12”. I can’t imagine i cut the coax because I wouldn’t know how to put a new end on it. It was cold and rainy so that’s as far as I got. I took a photo of the current...

It’s been awhile on the coax thing so I cannot remember. I’ll check when I go to the airport tomorrow, Thursday.

Ok, I’m guessing it’s the antenna then. I moved the antenna from the belly to the top, but on top, it has virtually no ground plain. I’m going to move it back to the belly cause it was working fine there. Appreciate your help, I’ll let you know what happens. I’ll do it soon as it warms up 🥶

If you forget to lock in the primer pump, the engine will go rough.

I’m a former Sonerai 2 builder/flyer. Post a picture of your Sonerai, or send it to [email protected] . I traded a Bakeng Duce for a Sonerai 2 last summer, then gave the Sonerai to a friend who works in airport maintenance at KDBQ here in Dubuque Iowa. The 2 was in pieces, so Bob is going to...

You’re the man I need to talk to. In my plane, when I listen to the tower, I can hear them fine. But when I transmit, they can’t understand anything I say. My Cessna is a 182, but I’m having this trouble with my homebuilt, the Tailwind you see at left. I installed my p-lead wiring using...

I think you’re trying to ring our bell, Angie. No reasonably intelligent instructor would do spins from 1500 AGL, especially when the ground elevation is already 5,000’. Maybe this instructor has a death wish. The same for turning off the gas after takeoff or to sim an engine out landing.

Bob, if you ever go thru Dubuque with your Airmaster, call me. I’d love to just sit in it, let alone fly it. I’m a good artist, I’d do a painting of it for you if I could fly it. But I’d have to paint wheel pants on it. I’m a former 195 pilot - about 25 hrs. Good flyin’ to you !

That was back when Cessna had the sense to build airplanes out of steel and wood.

My friend, Dean Wollaston, 93, owns this beauty. He and I fly together, and have enjoyed many hours flying this smooth flying machine, to get the $100 hamburger.
