Question
I am installing my transponder ant just aft of the firewall through the tunnel. Well, where it needs to be because of my fuel pump and plumbing it ends up under the fairing that extends back under the fuselage, on my show planes cowl. I?m useing a lollipop ant. I?m thinking about making a bracket that will mount to the bottom of the fuselage and face the antenna forward at a 45 degree angle thus hiding it under the fiberglass fairing. What is the consensus in regards to the signal, since it will not be facing straight down.
