The install manual explains that for a composite aircraft you should install a ground plane. I want to install the antenna inside the fuselage and I am wondering if anyone has done this with an ELT. The antenna is a whip antenna and I have some ideas, that I think would work, but thought I would ask the community first. I will be posting this in the avionics list as well.

The antenna is behind baggage bulkhead. Hope this helps.
