I received a low drag transponder antenna from Don Pansier at Deltapop aviation. I race my plane and every little bit of drag reduction helps. This antenna has about a quarter the drag my stick and ball transponder antenna has.
Right out of the box I was impressed, it looks very well made and is wayyyyyy thinner than I had ever imagined. Looking at it straight on, it is super thin as you can see in the pics below. If I said it took 20 minutes to install, I would be lying, 10 minutes is all it took to retro fit it into my old antenna spot. Enlarge the hole to 9/16", drill two 3/16" holes for the mounting screws and that's it. Tighten the nUts to 20 inch pounds, attach the bnc connector and that's it,and I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn last night!
Anyway, very happy with it, great product Don.
