Sorry, I dont have details of Flightaware antenna (design, dimensions), so I cannot model it.
**Suggestions: **
(1) Place the magnetic base of telescopic antenna over the lid or bottom of a large food can made of iron. This will help in 2 ways:
(a) The magnet in antenna base will cling to the can and hold antenna in position.
(b) Antenna’s 1 inch dia base magnet provides the groundplane (the braid of coax is connected to it). This is too small a groundplane. When magnet clings to the food can, the food can will enlarge the groundplane and reception will greatly increase.
(2) After purchasing DVB-T dongle, the very first thing you should purchase is a pigtail, with MCX male pin at one end (for dvb-t) and F-female connector at other end to connect regular antenna coax (RG6, RG58 etc).
The MCX male connector of pigtail is delicate, and sometimes breaks.Better order 2 pigtails, one in use, one spare, to be immediately available if mcx connector of one gets damaged. These are not costly ($3.80 + free shipping from China)
