My current installation could be the poster child of the hall of shame.
It doesn't work at all!
This is my third FLARM: one OzFLARM and two PFs.
Only put it in for W+B purposes, will finish the installation this coming winter. There are only a handful in the area who have bought a FLARM anyway.
Antennas are still below the glare shield. They will eventually be mounted using the Williams Soaring mount that looks like a scoop, with one half of the dipole poking through the glare shield.
Previous PF mount was the typical 26E or early 27 in the nose, and the OzFLARM sat on the glare shield with a piece of clear tubing instead of the black plastic protecting the antenna. That was nearly invisible in flight. So was the later stick-on antenna, mounted on the canopy.
If I was ever to order a new glider, the leading edge of the vertical fin would be used for FLARM antennas, where the optional flashing LEDs would go.
