jetdriven Posted November 10, 2014 Report Posted November 10, 2014 Who. You only got 1.5" of room under there and no screws can go through the stringer so I don't see how u could mount it. Per this it's 2.5" wide and 3.5" tall. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/pages/av/elts_zelt/114-042-250.php
MB65E Posted November 10, 2014 Report Posted November 10, 2014 I couldn't get mine under the fin... It was just too long and Tall. I tried really hard, but in the end I was not willing to go thru the skin overlap and angle aluminum that's up there just to connect the cables to the elt. ELT sold that antenna directly to me for $250. If anyone wants it let me know. Since then, ELT has an antenna that's the same height but half the length. It's listed as their "high speed" antenna. I don't have a PN...but it might fit. In the mean time I just put an old 121.5 antenna back there and will continue to fly with SPOT and PLB. Hopefully, there will be some better 406/GPS antennas shortly!! Good luck! -Matt
KSMooniac Posted November 10, 2014 Report Posted November 10, 2014 I guess I should specify... I believe it fits under the later model fiberglass dorsal fins that are larger than the earlier aluminum ones. (you can't put an antenna under the aluminum one anyway)
MB65E Posted November 10, 2014 Report Posted November 10, 2014 Hi Scott!! I'm referring to the Lasar's fiberglass faring...bummer I know. Thanks for your comm antenna!! -Matt 1
KSMooniac Posted November 10, 2014 Report Posted November 10, 2014 Hmmm, that is too bad then! I specifically asked about placing it under the f/g fairing and he said it would work there. I'm disappointed if it won't fit as that is what I wanted to do when I upgrade.
MB65E Posted November 10, 2014 Report Posted November 10, 2014 There is space for it dimensionally, but I couldn't find a way to do it with out going thru the upper stringer with the fasteners and coax. I was told the same thing, they just don't realize the limitations under the skin. At least you didn't buy it as I did... -Matt
Hondo Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 Jim Price recommends the ACR 2881 or 2880 PLB in the Nov Mooney Flyer. http://www.themooneyflyer.com/ Aircraft Spruce https://www.aircraftspruce.com/search/search.php?s=ACR%20PLB Why pay unnecessary installation costs?
