I am going to wave my white "not a hardware guy" flag again here (while ducking). If the (main) FLARM antenna is mounted on a tin or aluminum surface (specifically, a short length of 0.5 by 0.1 inch of what is tin, aluminum, or some other light metal), will it interfere with the antenna's performance? Or should I go with the wood alternative ... ? ~ted/2NO


See for some antenna solutions.
