>You are right about the cone lowering the lobe of the radiation pattern,
but having said that, I’m hoping that this is the picture of the roof, not
the belly because I feel that in flight you want that lobe to angle flat or
down slightly toward the probable location of the radar.

Yes Charles, That is a picture of the antenna mounted on the top wing skin
of the inverted wing.  (Inside of a fiberglass wing)
Keep up the good work.  Your expertise is easily recognized.
