I’m not trying to be the proverbial turd in the sandbox but I’m wondering about
a thing or two.
I took a quick look at the publications on the championradio.com page and have
a question. It seems the books were published a few years ago.
While the design theory has not changed, materials and workmanship may have. My
recent experience with Mosley left me a little concerned about the performance
of the end product, in my case a new RV-7C vertical.
Am I mistaken or did I miss a revision date?
Since I may be acting like a turd, I will now go lay in the yard.
