Title: Dora candy cane
Post by: Scca on August 22, 2017, 05:32:37 AM

Anyone know what the candy cane looking thing sticking out of the bottom of a Fw-190D is. The Googles have been no help.

You can see the same on late model 109s, TA152s and late model BMW powered 190s.

It is the FuG16 ZY Morane antenna.

Or, just call it a "whip antenna"
