I also put the GPS antennas on the tailcone directly aft of the fiberglass
cabin top for two reasons. First reason was that I wanted to make sure I
had a good ground plane, and I didn't want to mess with fabbing something
up to fit in the overhead. Second, in IFR flight, I want EVERY possible
advantage towards not having equipment failures or signal degradation. As
unlikely as it may be, sticking the GPS antenna on the top was one less
variable towards that goal. GPS pucks for non-ifr? I'd put those anywhere
they get signal!
