Default New breed of transponder antennas

I looked at something similar but, alas, my fuselage is carbon. So I
installed a blade on the underside just aft of the gear doors

Hello all,

I see a new type of transponder antennas on the market, for example the
Filser DP1090-5:
http://glider-equipment.nl/catalog/p...a-dp10905-p-63
These seem almost too good to be true; Low cost & complexity, easy
installation inside (non-carbon) fuselages..
Does anyone have experience with these antennas. Performance?
Compatibility with transponder models commonly used in gliders? Examples
of EASA approved installations?

Thanks,
Lars Peder (who finds that more and more of the airspace around him
becomes class C :-( )
