I won't help solve your problem but I noted that the Schleicher
ASH31Mi will have a transponder antenna mounted inside the fin as
standard equipment.

This is interesting as it will probably require some large coax to keep
the antenna loss to less than 1.5 db which is what was recommended in
the microair transponder install manual I have. The RG-58 is limited to
10 ft of coax length and that sure isn't going to get you to the fin
from the instrument panel...
