COMANT
DESCRIPTION
Comant CI 159C VOR/LOC/GS
“V” Dipole VOR/LOC/GS antenna with detachable elements mounts on top of vertical stabilizer for most single engine general aviation aircraft. Integral ferrite balun provides for higher radiation efficiency. Detachable elements result in a significantly smaller shipping and storage carton than fixed element versions. Fiberglass whips with 2-hole mounting configuration.
The CI 159C is identical to the CI 158C with the exception of the radiating elements which are laminated with polyester glass material for improved precipitation static protection.
