I am building an Aventura II. It is very similar to the sea rey if you are familiar with that- Bolted together aluminum tube structure with a fiberglass hull making up the fuselage and fabric wings. So there is no 4' diameter piece of aluminum to use as the ground plane. I have looked at the Advanced aircraft vhf-5T antenna but that needs a 43" tall vertical object that is relatively straight to place it on. No option to put it in the tail at this point.
I know this cannot be as hard as I am making it as obviously lots of people with aircraft of similar construction have installed antennas but what am I missing?? can the aluminum tubing be used as the ground plane?
