Given this point of view, I prefer the PF antenna up on the glare shield where it sees "mostly" all around. Agreed, but remember the OP asked about installation in a Libelle, where the equivalent to mounting the antennae "up on the glare shield" would involve poking them up through holes in the nose that you'd drilled in front of the canopy. Remember that the face of the panel is forward of the canopy rim and locking mechanism. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |


Understood.
I was simple pointing out that there is a real benefit, in my view to trying to get a complete a field of view for the antennas as possible.
The idea of putting the antennas on the side walls in the Libelle seems like a good one,given available options.
