Guys,I know this may have bed discussed, but I have two questions: 1) I will be using an A-65 on my SkyScout without electrical. It has Eisemann Am-4mags and non shielded harnesses. What have you done to suppress the rfi noise?2) I plan on using my iCom A-24 hand held radio and would like to put a groundplane behind the seat for a remote antenna. What antennas have you used?I have the same mags and harness in the Aeronca and the rfi is so bad, the radiois useless. Any suggestions welcomed. We have the VERY OLD STYLE PLUGS, do Ihave to use the newer shielded plugs and harness, or just the harness?Thanks,Ray KrauseSent from my iPad> On Nov 14, 2013, at 7:57 AM, "nightmare" wrote:> > This message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted.

Ray, My understanding is that you need the shielded harness AND plugs.That's what I have in my A65 and the radio is crystal clear. I have Slickmags and they came with the shielded harness, so I haven't tried it withoutshielding. Back when I owned a J-3 with an A65 (and Eismann mags) thehandheld radio had not been invented so there was no problem.Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia-----Original Message-----

Thanks, Jack. I am not sure how the Eisemann mags that I have accept the shieldedharness. With shielded plugs, are the shielded ignition wires grounded at theplug AND at the mag ends?

Skip,Yes, I have conformed to the AD, no problem with the coils on the mags. Do youalso run shielded plugs? Where did you get the shielded harness, make it? Andif so, how did you make it?On the antenna: the coax cable central wire connects to the antenna which is 23"long, and the ground wire connects to each of the 23" ground pieces? The groundpieces are then attached to the fuselage sides vertically and the antennais held horizontally, or parallel to the longerons? And these measurements workwell for communications frequencies?Thanks, this really helps, just what I needed for the antenna.Looking forward to your response.

Ray,Yes, that is how the wires connect. I think you must be seeing the elevatorconnecting rod as the antenna. The antenna is vertical against the fuzeside. I wanted the antenna vertical and put the ground planes where theywould fit. Yes, the 23" length works well for the middle of the comfrequencies.I bought the plane with 2 non impulse Bendix(lunchbox) mags. I got theEisemann on ebay, so it would be safer to hand prop, and a guy on the fieldgave me the shielded harness, he had an incomplete set of 7 and I onlyneeded 4. They aren't really made to fit the Eisemann, I got some of thoseauto type rubber booties and just stuck the leads in the Eisemann and theyhave been good for about 200 hours now. Yes, I am running the same standardaircraft shielded plugs that came with the plane, used with the Bendix mags.Skip > [Original Message]

Attached is a photo of the setup that I have in Scout. Corky used a piece of shopscrap aluminum to form the ground plane, and the ELT antenna and VHF COM antennashare the ground plane. The ELT is also mounted to the aluminum, sinceit is nicely accessible for inspection and service behind the seat in that locationand it is pretty likely to survive a crash there as well. A short pieceof coax leads from the COM antenna (a standard aircraft bent stainless steelwhip) to a bulkhead fitting right above the pilot's right shoulder, where a shortcoax lead can be connected to a handheld when it's in use. The rest of thetime there are no wires visible in the cockpit and the bulkhead fitting hasa screw cap to cover it. The black thing at the bottom of the photo is a smallpouch that is attached to the back of the hinged rear seatback/access panel.Yes, I know that there are aircraft cables in close proximity to the ELT and COMantennas and that they mess up the nice radiation patterns. Yes, I know thatthe ground plane is dimensioned less than ideally for optimum antenna efficiency.Yes, I know that the antennae are too close to each other and neither isoptimally placed on the ground plane.
