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? Quote
kortopates Posted August 3, 2023 Report Posted August 3, 2023 Looks like there is a storm scope antenna further forward under the belly. Quote
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 Quote

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