Hi

I was assuming that the glider had gear doors made of fiberglass. I think
many do.

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. Best Regards, Paul Remde

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
