Default Transponder Antenna Location

I am going to install a transponder in my Ventus and struggling with
the decision on where to locate the antenna.
Any comments on installing the antenna on the forward portion of the
glare shield...inside the cockpit?

Hi,

I used the shark antenne on my ventus ct. I decided to do it on top
of the fuselage to avoid damage during riggin-derigging.

It's installed after the doors of the engine so its 1.5 m away from me
with a engine, fuselage, the wing and a fuel tank between me and the
antenna

Due to that i needed an 'minor change modification' at easa , that
cost +/- 300 Euro

It's not the most pretty solution but it's the best one

If you want I can send you some pictures
