Default Flat external FLARM antenna?

Two options come to mind.
1) Put the A antenna as high as reasonable around the glare shield. Away from other conductors that might mess with the pattern. I run with a piece of 1/16 lexan to put the antenna vertically above the glare shield. Use the Flarm web site tool to see what coverage you have. If there is a coverage hole behind and below, you could put a B antenna out the bottom. If it doesn't transmitt, it won't help others see you, but it should help you see others.

2) It seems like something in the tail leading edge should work well if you could figure out how to put the Flarm brick back there so the antenna cable was not excessive. This seems more trouble that it's worth unless the around the glare shield radiating out the canopy plan doesn't work.
