What type of radio antenna do I have???

[xcrmckenna]

I want to order a cover and when I call them I don't want to prove to them I'm an idiot when I don't know what type of antenna I have and try to explain what it looks like.... I'll let you all know I'm an idiot though:)

How do you spell that antenna's name...?   7 or Seven?

You're going to need a picture from the other side to support your description though.

Jim Cancil would know what you meant.

The cover guys generally know where the antennae are and what the choices are.  They just need to know to use the right design that they already made.

Use extra care if your antennae are not original from Mooney.

Best regards,

I have heard to it referred to as the "600 knot" antenna. I had two of them on my plane at one time.

Newer versions look more like this:

I wonder if I'm out of rigging because I'm a long ways away from 600 knots.... or is that what I get for running lop?

I don't think if you went up to your service ceiling and dove straight down you would reach 600 knots.

Does anyone know what the antenna looks like inside? The outer shell is plastic and is filled with polyurethane, but I am curious as to what the antenna (metal) looks like inside there.

I just replaced my defective one. Want me to cut it open?

Yes, please. I was considering X-ray, but too messy.

Need help? Alan Fox comes to mind though it might be too small a job for a Sawzall.

To think I just thought of it as the "Boomerang" antenna.
