The turtle deck on the Stemme is fiberglass but I already have two

the transponder antenna is mounted on the bottom of that in the middle
fore and aft.Â* What's the minimum spacing required between a transponder
antenna and a flarm antenna?
Another possibility would be to install an antenna in the engine bay
right at the bottom.Â* I think the lower cowl is fiberglass, but I'd have
to check.
Since I trimmed the antenna cables to length when I installed them on
top of the glare shield, I'll have problems that may require buying new
antennae.Â* Bummer...
I'd keep all other antennas as far as possible from the transponder antenna, since it transmits (in short bursts) at about 200 watts.
Extra FLARM antennas are cheap he
