I'm adding ADSB-out (uAvionix echoUAT) and am considering different locations for the transceiver antenna. It's pretty much identical to a standard transponder antenna. Recommended location for these (like with transponders) is on the fuselage belly, which obviously isn't a good choice for an amphib. I'm curious what others have done. What's worked well, what hasn't? Any pictures would be welcome! Thanks!

Hi Mate I do have a mode S transponder fitted to my Aventura II, it’s up the front and works really well, I suggest you do a google search for fitting a transponder antenna to either a composite or fibreglass aircraft. I have attached some pictures of min.
I saw an aventura 2 with the antenna located on the underside of the wing near the first zipper. The aluminum ground plane was inside the wing. He said that it worked well. in the pic you can just see it above the sponson on the right wing.
