Dipole Antenna

You taxi out for departure, open the throttle - and that's exactly when some antennas start whipping about in the airflow, turning the radio into a game of chance. The Stinger doesn't play along. Built from flexible stainless steel, it simply flexes with gusts and vibration instead of breaking. Whether it's a circuit with the info frequency or cruise at altitude: you transmit, you're understood - clean, from taxi to shutdown.

Why choose this

• Flexible stainless steel flexes with airflow and vibration instead of breaking
• Clear connection at any altitude and in any weather - no crackling in the cruise
• Proven MicroAvionics manufacture from the UK, built for the open cockpit
• Matched to the radio band, made for use on 3-axis aircraft
• Low-maintenance and durable - fit it once, then just fly

Technical Details

• Type: Metal whip antenna (Stinger)
• Material: flexible stainless steel with protected wire sheathing
• Application: 3-axis microlight aircraft and open-cockpit sport aircraft
• Manufacturer: MicroAvionics (UK)

Who is this for?

For you, if you need a rugged radio antenna on your 3-axis microlight or open-cockpit sport aircraft that can handle the airflow. Whether you need it depends on your aircraft: if it already has a fixed, working antenna, this is more of a replacement or upgrade part - but it's worth swapping in if you're getting vibration or reception problems.

Is this right for you?

Made for 3-axis microlight aircraft and open-cockpit sport aircraft (application: fixed mounting to the fuselage or an existing antenna base). It's matched to the aviation radio band and fits standard VHF radios in the cockpit. If in doubt about the antenna base or connector thread, check the mounting point on your aircraft before buying - just ask if you need help.

What's included

What's in the box: the Stinger metal whip antenna. What you'll also need: a matching antenna base or the connecting cable to the radio, if not already fitted to your aircraft - just ask if you need help.
