Default second and third wave of PowerFlarm adoption?

A large number of club gliders are......."not glass." After reading
for many months about the issues faced by glass ships with antenna
placement...has anyone tried Power Flarm in our metal fleet of
Blaniks, Pilati, and Schweizers?

Scott,

The portable works fine in the Pawnee and in my Husky. Just make sure the antenna has an unobstucted view Metal under is okay, and metal windshield pillars and such are not a big problem as long as they are not next to the antennas.

Does anyone have experience with an externally mounted antenna(s) for PowerFlarm?

Would L/D degradation from an external mounted PowerFlarm antenna be less of a concern on a lower performance ship?
