It may not look "cool" but I'm guessing an excellent place for a straight wire antenna would be on the front bow between the windshield and the sliding windows.
The rear bow would also be excellent but you'd have to run a lot more antenna cable. Perhaps a bent or sloped antenna would be better here but I'd think the range would be double or triple as far to the rear as to the front. Neither would work if you have a hangar with a low entry. This is just my opinion in terms of function. Any antenna experts or experienced amateur radio people out there have opinions? Any suggestions about ground plane for these locations? Maybe the lack of ground plane metal might make the location not work like I would think. Ed
