It seems to work just fine up there thru fabric and insulation -
perfect! I can get as far away from the compass as the cable allows.
Looks like the magnet naturally finds a crotch a in the tubing to
magnetize itself too.

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.
