Hi!
How feasible would it be to replace the pylons that are used in F3B and
F3F, with automated radio pylons? Are there any projects or attempts in
this direction? Quick googling did not give any results.
I thought about system where each plane has a transmitter with unique code
and at the pylon locations are highly directional receiver antennaes with
3D polars that look like pancakes. When plane flies through the pancake
the signal strength peaks and this is signalled back to pilot. What kind
of antennae would give this kind of polar? What would be a reasonable
maximum working distance for this kind of system?
regards,
Arne
