dorsal fin length
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 5:21 pm
The pros and cons of the FUS-37 dorsal fin (weight, windage, aesthetics,
etc.) are thoroughly covered in the archives. I don't plan to install it
initially, but want to leave the option.
The issue at the moment is location of the ELT antenna. Of course, it should
be as far aft as reasonably possible, but I want to leave room for the
dorsal option. My FUS-37 is ~ 43" long on the bottom flange, which looks
huge. The two queries are:
1) Does the manual cover installation of the dorsal fin and if so, where?
Probably a "duh", but I can't find it. (Can't find my spectacles either.)
2) Is there any mechanical/installation reason the FUS-37 couldn't/shouldn't
be shortened a bit if desired?
