There's not enough space between glareshield and canopy on my ASW-15 to mount the FLARM antenna there. Fortunately mounting it in the nosecone works and gave me pretty good coverage according to the range tool. With no nose hook up there and no carbon fiber (except - thanks to the previous owner in Germany - a really nice carbon fiber instrument panel) in the ship the only thing I was worried about was that with the 15's relatively snubby nose I thought the rudder pedals might cause a blind spot but they don't seem to..

That said, now that we're going to be installing FLARM in all the club ships this winter a nice thin bottom fed antenna would be a nice option for some of them.
