Hi, All;

I'm trying to decide on where to place the transponder antenna. This is a "regular" pre-ADSB small monopole antenna. This is going on a Zenith Cruzer, all aluminum.

My question is: How close to the edge of the structure may I place the antenna? IOW, I don't know if I need to have a minimum distance in each direction from the mounting hole, or is having plenty of room in the other 3 directions sufficient. I *know* a center-placed antenna would be better, I just don't know how much I lose with an edge-mounted antenna.

Thanks for any info you provide!
