I am replacing the old 121.5 ELT with a 406 in my RV8A. The old antenna was  under the empennage fairing. The new antenna is longer and doesn’t fit as good  in that location and I am thinking there might be a better location. With the  sliding canopy I am scratching my head. Where are others putting their antenna?  Thanks Rollin

I placed mine to the right side of the passenger.  The secured the whip with some light weight clips that I later changed to adel clamps. The light weight clamps were too flimsy. 



Here is my installation:
