Pietenpol-List: Andrews' a-65

First off, thanks all for the radio head help. I think we're narrowing downon a solution. I sure like the idea of a fin location because it gets itaway from most of the hunks of metal (except for the brace wires) but notsure how to do a ground plane back there. Second choice is behind mycockpit but I have an aluminum baggage compartment there and am afraidbetween that and the control cables (and the cables from my shoulderharness) there will be too much interference. Still thinking.Andrew, your symptoms remind me of a time I ran an engine and it did thesame thing. Turned out my fuel supply to the carb was bad and it would onlyrun the bowl down then quit. Then while I tinkered, the bowl would slowlyrefill and it would run again. then quit.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________

Hi Guys,I used an antenna with a built in ground plane and mounted it behind myseat. See http://www.cpc-world.com/new_card_image ... JPG.jpgThe antenna is upside down but radio waves don't worry about than.Worked well.PeterWonthaggi Australiahttp://www.cpc-world.com
