..I'll be persistent and let people here
know when I get the plans.

I still don't have "plans", but here's a picture. Turns out it was a 3
element. My apologies for such an inaccurate memory.

Hi "UMC"
Is it practical to mount the antenna outside toe helicopter? I once
designed an antenna system for military helicopter VHF homing. I used two
dipoles made of foil taped to the plastic windshield. It worked. The idea
was/is simple, but you'd need to build a seperate electronic device to go
between the antenna and the receiver. And, you'd (of course) need to
manuver the helicopter rather than twist/turn the antenna, because, the
helicopter would be the antenna.
