| Subject: | more on the scam |
I should have mentioned the way email addresses are stolen.
My friend got a legitimate looking request that he change his password.
Since it seemed legit, he complied. the scammers thus got his password (they
already knew his address), changed his password for real and sent the letter
almost identical to the one we have just received. He could no longer access
his email accounts and got very little help from the provider.
So, be advised all on this list. Dont change your passwords in response to
an email requesting that you do so. If you are not sure, delete the
message andchange passwords on your initiative, not theirs. Do it as a separate
deal.
Just my thoughts

Hi all
After a long, cold (by UK standards) winter when it was too expensive to
heat the workshop, the weather has improved and building can restart.
Over the winter I've been pondering the panel/avionics and have just
largely completed the final panel layout and wiring
(www.tailwindbuild.blogspot.com). Originally I wasn't going to install a
Nav radio but just picked up a Garmin SL-30 cheap so am intending to use
that. This means I need to locate a VOR antenna so I'm interested in
ideas for choosing and locating a VOR antenna in my build. In my Vans,
which has metal wings but fibreglass tips, I've installed a Bob Archer
antenna inside the wingtip which works very well. As I understand it
these rely on using the wing as a ground plane. Obviously this won't
work on the Tailwind. The easy solution is to put a normal V antenna on
the VS but that means a lot of wire back to the panel and more drag. Has
anyone used any sort of internal antenna, either wing or fuselage
mounted successfully? Details would be appreciated.
Thanks
Peter

When I built N171E I put an antenna on the VS and one inside of the wing. Both
worked fine but the one in the wing was weaker when the station was on the opposite
side from the antenna. I finally used only the one on the VS. I probably
oriented the antenna wires forward but can't remember for sure. I test flew N171E
in 1978 so don't remember that detail.
