    Cool Looking for a PBY know-it-all

    I'm going to build a PBY-5 (not 5a) Catalina modelkit. There is alot of photographic material that I can use. In lots of these pictures, I can see 3 wire antenna's running from the tail to the wing. Not all do start and end in the same point. But it is very hard to determine wich wire goes where. I live near an airport that has a flying PBY-5a based there but, they did not mount the wires anymore, probably because they've got better equipment or, simply no use for long-range radio's.

    Can someone tell me wich antenna wire runs where on a normal PBY-5?

    I think this may help you some www.pby.com says on its Page header that is a site for PBY / Catalina entusiasts and researchers.

    I tried diging through the stuff I have on the cat but never could find what you are looking for. Hope what I found can help you some

    I do know that site, but I didn't use it for this particular 'problem'. Thanks for reminding me

    If anyone else can help me out, please don't hesitate.
