yeah, understood, hardly that many ... I just want to know if we have
any actual test results.


Standard practice for Schleicher is to install the antenna on the
ASH-26E, ASW-27, etc... just behind the main wheel. Pretty much looks
like they just drill a hole and install a typical antenna with no
other prep work.

Beyond the lack of complaints of poor performance, I don't know if
there has been any scientific testing performed to prove out the
installation.
