As an alternative to the Stefly GNSS canopy antenna, the rear GNSS antenna for LARUS Competition can also be mounted externally on aircraft with a carbon fibre (CFRP) fuselage. With no shielding CFRP laminate between the active antenna and the satellites, reception is usually significantly better than with an antenna mounted inside the fuselage. The teardrop-shaped fairing is designed for minimal drag.
Routing the cable requires only a 3 mm hole in the upper fuselage shell. The antenna is attached with 3M VHB tape, which can be removed again if needed.
