Eric,

Do all Schleicher gliders lack carbon fiber above the baggage
compartment?

For example, is that true of my ASW-27 (sn 29)?

My ASH 26 E is carbon free in that area, but I don't know about all
Schleichers. There is some right over where the spars go through the
fuselage, but mostly it's non-carbon (glass or aramid - don't know
which). It will be black if there is carbon there, and
greenish/yellowish if it's not.

The dealer, John Murray, may be able to tell you what other pilots have
done, and save you reinventing the wheel. I wonder if an antenna could
be incorporated into the headrest, which I think is fiberglass on my glider.
