Will probably mount the dipole on the inside of the turtledeck area. I'm assuming that the signal will travel through wood with no issues?

Might get through the wood OK, but not so sure about the UV barrier in
the Stewart Systems finish. Is it aluminum powder like in the
Stitts? If so, probably won't work too good.

i don't think it is aluminum based like Stits, but I'm not 100% sure. Perhaps we'll find out this weekend. I do know that last year at Region 10 I was able to see TA when we were thermalling near each other and another time when he was behind me on final glide (right before I landed out). No recollection or attention paid to maximum range etc.
