Better yet use a strip of copper foil buried under the glass in your wing. Situate it wing tip to wing tip line half way between the spars to keep it away from metals that can cause interference. No drag, less weight and excellent reception as the antenna can be kept straight with zero bends which can cause signal loss. Of course this method will not work for those using carbon fiber covering or those with metal wing tanks. Doug Rupert Simcoe Ontario.
