Antenna for WX-8

WX-8 Stormscope antenna is on top of my fuselage - see pic (big square one, port side, mid-cabin). Not sure if it works the same as Insight, but a quick test in the hangar is to use a hair dryer/heat gun or drill and see if it indicates (cheap motor arcing simulates lightening).

Yeah, looking like the top, even though it is against what Insight states. Maintenance will do the skin mapping. If we get a chance, thunderstorms are forecast next couple of days, would like to tow the airplane in a circle to make sure the WX remains stationary as my display is slaved to the aircraft heading.

I had a WX-10 in my "commute-mobile." I flew this PA-22/20 back and forth from South Texas to Hobby for my airline flying. The commute up was always at 1 pm, and back, 1 am. Those commute times would light up the display. 1200+ commutes taught me the value of a lightning strike system.
