2fnould's build log

You should have just gone with an active aero switch, imagine the looks on people faces when you tell them you lower the antenna for aerodynamic reasons. :p

Were you looking to be able to lower the antenna separately? Otherwise you could just wire in a relay to the one control wire your radio has and control as many amps or antennas as you want.

I do like the active aero switch idea though.

Radios that use separate antenna and remote turn on wires will actually lower the antenna when not listening to the radio. Since Steve's radio does not have this differentiation in control, my guess is that he wanted to add it via a switch.

Finally was warm enough to play with the fiber reinforced filler to take care of a tiny triangle area:

Once this is all black (Line-X coated) it should look like it blends much better.

Did a proposed layout of the amplifiers and processor, nothing fancy but will look neat and orderly:

I like that. :)

Pieces back from Line-X :Banana:
