I hung my transponder under one of the inspection panels in the baggage bay, and
the antenna under the other one. This is Skyview transponder, with a remote
body from the control head. It makes for easy access for any maintenance.
For the ground plane for the antenna, I used self adhesive copper strips in a
star
formation with a star washer on the base of the antenna to grip the centre
point of the star. I can't remember the diameter of the star, but I recall I
found lots of useful information in the Matronics AeroElectric & Avionics lists.
