I installed the unit on top of the pilot's side of the canard. I used a bit 
of foam to form a level place and attached them with a couple of light weight 
glass layups. I drilled the foam and made flox hardpoints to screw into. The 
unit is about 6 inches from the fuselage wall with the connectors to the rear. I 
used an aluminum sheet for a ground plane. It is about 1 ft square, and is 
angular due to the configuration of the canard hatch. It is mounted in the top 
of the hatch, thus I must uncouple the antenna wire each time I remove the 
hatch. This is a fairly infrequent event, thus not an issue to me. I have a photo 
of the installation, but it is still in my camera. I will put it on line when 
I get it developed.
