By built-in I mean molded into the vertical fin. At least that's where
I think Schleicher puts them.

Question: Should I go get longer whips for these to better tune them
for the glider freqs?


* Perhaps. *Some allow you to loosen the screw holding the whip and
tightening it with the whip a little longer.

I'm already at the max length allowed by the set screws.

I'll see if there's a good shop at the local airport(s).
