JoeM Posted August 3, 2023 Report Posted August 3, 2023 This antenna is below the belly, with 2 thick blue wires running to behind the panel where they are snipped off. What is it?
kortopates Posted August 3, 2023 Report Posted August 3, 2023 Looks like there is a storm scope antenna further forward under the belly.
EricJ Posted August 3, 2023 Report Posted August 3, 2023 ADF "boat" antenna. FWIW, the contemporary use seems to be as a wear block to protect the belly in the event of a gear-up landing. I've seen a couple examples where that worked really well. 2 3

I left mine on as a wear block as suggested by @EricJ, just in case
