Hi John, Good question. In a day or 2 I will have extra PowerFLARM remote antennas in stock. They are the same as supplied with the PowerFLARM Brick.. I imagine that one could be mounted in the wheel well. I agree that it would help improve safety. Once the logger features are working we will be able to analyze the range in all directions.

I'm curious as to how an antenna mounted inside a gear well will work with most modern gliders.
It will be almost completely enclosed by carbon fiber.
It will likely be intermingled with metal landing gear parts.
More likely it will have to be externally mounted and incorporate a ground plane.
Should be a fun install but it could ge a long way toward reducing the 160 degree or so blind spot we have now.
FWIW
