I HAD BOUGHT THIS THINKING I WOULD STRIP AND REPAINT THE BASE AND USE IT ON A HOME BUILT AIRPLANE BUT LATER USED A LIGHTER SS WHIP. THIS ANTENNA IS DESIGNED FOR MOUNTING TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE FUSE. A NEW COMANT CI-122 ANTENNA SELLS FOR $199.85 IN THE AIRCRAFT SPRUCE CATALOG. A LITTLE BIT OF WORK COULD RESULT IN A NICE COMM ANTENNA for very little money.

AutoWeek office swag: Mazda rotary-engine keychain with realistic motion
Fri, 20 May 2011When I got the keys to our long-term 2011 Mazda 5 last week, they came with a surprise--this aluminum-and-brass keychain in the shape of a rotary-engine housing, complete with moving rotor.
