FLARM 90° antenna
A FLARM antenna with a right-angle SMA connector — for the installation where a straight antenna has nowhere to stand.
- An 868 MHz FLARM antenna with a right-angle SMA connector — for the place where a straight antenna would stand into a panel, a canopy rail or a former
- For the FLARM 1 and FLARM 2 (diversity) connectors on a PowerFLARM Eagle and any FLARM with an SMA antenna connector

Details.
Antenna placement decides a FLARM's range more than anything else, and sometimes the right place has the wrong geometry: a straight antenna would stand into a panel, a canopy rail or a fuselage former. The 90° antenna solves that with a right-angle SMA connector, so the antenna lies along the surface it mounts to instead of standing off it.
Use
For the FLARM 1 and FLARM 2 (diversity) connectors on a PowerFLARM Eagle, and any other FLARM device with an SMA antenna connector. The antenna is tuned for the 868 MHz FLARM band; it is not an ADS-B or GPS antenna.
Placement
What matters is what surrounds the antenna, not which way it points at the connector: keep it clear of carbon and metal, and check the result in the Eagle's range analyser after a few flights rather than assuming.
Questions pilots ask.
Is it an ADS-B or GPS antenna?
No — it is tuned for the 868 MHz FLARM band only.
