Sorry I type slowly :oops:

Last question :?
vertically polarised [most or nearly all A/C have antennas pointing up vertically]
My aerial is mounted slightly back (for more speed :oops: ) should I have it as upright as possible or does that not matter :?:

How do I measure this :? My whip is mounted on a base with a little spring point, is it from the pivot point or from the little grub screw holding the whip.

Do I assume correctly, that to cover all bases, 555mm seems a good average for the arial :?:

3 week ago I took my 5 year old son with me to Panorama 8) on the return flight there was a huge storm over Jhb Cbd we only had a few drops on the western side :shock: but he remembered me telling him that microlight and rain don't mix so he was quite tense about this. When we turned at the dome in ...

I have never flown a trike :oops: never being in one :cry: What I have seen is guys would have the bar forward all the way and not do that transition phase after lift off, of pulling back to built up speed :shock: ie The whole climb out seems like they spent it on the stall.

So even if the ponies disappear the moment the main ...
