Mounting ELT

Postby planecrazzzy » Sat Nov 26, 2005 10:12 pm

(emergency locating transmitter ) for SAR (search and rescue)

The ELT is attached to the main motor mount tube, and it is located inside the wing Gap Seal....The antenna is located on top of the gap seal....it needs a reflective surface

Sometimes you just have to take the leap
and build your wings on the way down...
