Has anyone successfully used Van's copper foil comm antenna that mounts on the windscreen...or anyone who would recommend NOT using it? [quote][b]

I've been using one  for 11 years.  It's cheap, simple, no-drag, and it works.  I get  plenty of range, and good radio quality.  It's got some nicks and  scratches on it from people grabbing the center bar, yet no problems.   Heck, maybe I'll replace it someday.

I tried it, very poor reception, both in the air and ground.  Went 

with a standard antenna on the bottom of the fuselage.
