Hey all,
Just wanted to mention (another) example of the fine customer service from Don at Delta Pop Aviation; several years ago I bought his bent whip com antenna for a belly mount on my RV-8. Worked great, no issues! Fast forward to my current panel upgrade... I'm finally getting around to installing an ADSB solution and a second com radio, so I ordered another bent whip com antenna from Don. Now the problem; sometime during the last few years the bent whip angle changed from a 45 deg angle to 90-ish back along the belly. Not a huge deal really, but now I'd have a aesthetic mismatch between the two antennas.
I emailed Don asking if there was a way to bend my old antenna to match the new one, whether I tried it or sent it in for him to have a whack at it. He responded promptly by saying he was sending me a whole new antenna to replace my old one. He didn't ask for a dime, not even to cover shipping.
Awesome! Don's my new hero. Since my old antenna still works fine I'm going to ship it back to him, perhaps he can still use it for something; I'd feel kinda guilty keeping it hanging on the hangar wall or something...
Thanks Don!
