Roger that - I ordered a brick and the Butterfly 2.25" display as

PowerFLARM portable and the LS8 cockpit/panel were mutually exclusive.
Now I'm trying to figure out where (and how) the antenna farm will get
mounted. I agree that it won't be good if the brick has a fixed
antenna...

I poked around a bit today. Butterfly aero has a "high performance
antenna"
listed in the German language section of their web page. It seems to
be the
same as the antenna described he

This antenna looks like a good fit for what I want to do; it would be
fairly
easy to mount it far forward in the nose of my plane, beyond the
rudder
pedals. The "A" antenna would be behind the gear in my plans so
therefore would be blocked from seeing forward.
