On my Esqual,  installing the radio system,  an Icom- ICA 200, I wish to put the antenna inside the fusolage, behind the seat or inside the tail.         

Are there any experience/suggestion to keep ? Length of  coaxial cable, position, shield.....         

Thank-you for any help.         

Really appreciated, indeed.

Luigi,

     I will do the same with two of the EI bipole antennas. The  word is there is no affect from the fiberglass. Do not try the same with carbon  fibre which will block the signal. In fact, I have now seen a number of aircraft  with the antenna farm in the tail. I am building a Legacy FG which will include  two comm, one gs and one marker beacon in the tail. That's the nice thing about  fiberglass, you can always move it after testing if  necessary.

If your tailcone has a diameter of around 31 inches, you can try the 

Morris Com Loop antenna, which does not require a ground plane and is 

a better antenna than the typical quarter wave 

whip.  www.DaveMorris.com/MorrisComLoop

Hi Luigi,

In my Lancair [fiberglass not carbon] I have my Icom-200 connected to a 

Jim Weir dipole made from 1/2 wide copper tape.  Works great!
