Magic Factory F4U-1A | AeroScale

Welcome Jose. I seconded John’s comments.

Best I figure reading Dana Bell’s post depends on the buno and timeframe.

For the plane you built.
“Another alternative that eliminated the forward antenna mast was to originate the antenna on the tip of the right horizontal stabilizer. It is shown here on Ira Kepford’s F4U-1A but it was typical on the F4U-2 night fighter. (Also note that this VF-17 F4U does not have the mast aft of the cockpit; it does, however, have a whip antenna in that location that is presumably for a VHF radio.)“
