VHF areals

[Alby]

Hi. Its been many years since I visited this forum and am way behind the times. The 2 VHF ariels on my RV7a need replacing and am wondering if items of this type can still be purchased through Vans or is Spruce Aircraft the place to go to ?. Regards Allen

Here is popular choice for antennas who is also a VAF advertiser. My only criticism is the white plastic fairings seem to yellow quickly. However if you are replacing antennas matching the existing mounting geometry is a concern.

Allen,

Just curious, why the need to replace? These tend to outlive the airframe.

Have they quit working if so replace but if they are still working just remove then clean them up and repaint.
