These are monopole designs that require a ground plane for an optimum range. If these antennas are installed on a metal skinned airframe, then the metal skin will become the perfect ground plane. If these antennas are going to be installed in a fabric or composite skinned airframe, then a ground plane will be required. It's recommended that a sheet of metal 200x200mm is used. External Antennas will give the best perfomance on all types of aircraft as this provides minimum obscuration of transmitted and received signals.
We made a short YouTube video explaing why.
