dams301 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hi all, With the availability of the Kinetic kit and following his topic, I started the 03/01 a PDF file with all one-seater version of this aircraft (except IIIC, Kfir, Cheetah for the moment). The file can be download here and will be updated regularly with all remark, suggestion and future update (two-seater, Kfir, IIIC/B, etc...) If there is any translation issue, feel free to tell me. Thanks for reading Damien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoosfoos Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Great idea! Thanks for doing this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f4h1phantom Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Awesome! Thank you! What do you mean by "Doubt removal antenna" ? Also, I think you could add a column stating whether the aircraft has a straight fin leading edge or the VHF antenna extension at the base. Jorge.

dams301 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Thanks for your comments guys What do you mean by "Doubt removal antenna" ? This : Also, I think you could add a column stating whether the aircraft has a straight fin leading edge or the VHF antenna extension at the base I'll try to find a better translation for the next update with two-seater versions (and somes little correction to the current file). In my memory, it's not a VHF antenna. In french, we call it "antenne de levée de doute", it's a part of the radio compass/radio direction finder but I'll check it again to be sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f4h1phantom Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Alright! Apologies for my confusion. Jorge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dams301 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) No problem Jorge. I found a translation in Dassault website which name it as "Sense antenna". Do you think that is a better translation ? Damien Edit : after research, it's look like the good traduction so I'll make the correction Edited January 9, 2015 by dams301 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f4h1phantom Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hi again, I have been googling a little and it appears most places refer to the extension at the base of the fin as a "HF radio antenna". Here's a drawing from the SAAF forum: Hopefully more knowledgeable people (than me) will chime in. HTH, Jorge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dams301 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) I check in "Les monoréacteurs Dassault Tome 2 : Mirage IIIE dans l'armée de l'air" (this 4 books series is a very good reference) : and it's identify as a "sense antenna". All french people who know the aircraft also talk about it as a "sense antenna". I don't like to be in doubt, so I'll check again with some friends if they have other reference to be sure about it ;) Edit : After some research on ADF/radio-compass, I found that the sense antenna is an HF antenna (between 2 and 23MHz) located in the fairing at the base of the fin. So we are both right Edited January 9, 2015 by dams301 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
