George, it's always a pleasure getting some Maule-specific advice.
Thanks, several times.

That's the question, will it work thru the fabric?

Try tucking it up between the headliner and the fabric top of the
fuselage. I had my MBR antenna under the floor boards and it worked well
through the fabric. IIRC, M. Powell has a gps antenna mounted over the
headliner in this way. If it works, you can clamp a mounting plate to
the frame tubes up there.
