So what has been tried and what works?

On my ASH-26E, I installed the spot on the canopy rail right next to
my right shoulder. *It's got a good view of most of the sky, and I can
verify the LEDs are blinking. *So far, I get good tracking results. *I
removed the belt clip and attached a little bit of heavy duty hook and
loop material to keep it attached.

This should work on all recent Schleicher gliders as they have that
nice wide sill back there.

Wow - thanks to everyone, especially Steve, for this very detailed
overview.

FWIW, on my LS8, I could easily mount the spot similar to an old
Camera (remember those) using whole pre-drilled *into the canopy frame
and a small piece of bent aluminum. * I expect many other ships would
be like that...

That should read "using the holes pre-drilled into the canopy frame"...
