I'm seriously considering installing a transponder
in our Discus CS. Does anyone have any experience
with the dipole antenna model L2 made by Advanced Aircraft
Electronics (AAE) and sold on the Wings & Wheels web
site? It seems like a good solution for an internal
antenna in a fiberglass fuselage. Mounting location?
Orientation? Test results?

Thanks in advance.

Please guys, contact the manufacturer (or rep) and get a
properly designed and approved installation. Antennas
transmitting near the panel will yield unhappy results
with your other avionics and PDAs and gadgets.
Really.

Hope this helps,
Best Regards, Dave

PS: Here's an example of a proper installation,
though you cannot see the internal reinforcements
etc:
