I have a single Vans ELT/Strobe mount and it fits perfectly with the Wheelen

strobe power supply (nice!). Does anyone know what needs to be done to the Vans

mount to hold the Artex ME406 ELT? It's not obvious (at least to me) looking at

photos of the ME406 mounting tray how one would securely mount the tray to the

Vans bracket.



Thanks in advance for replies!

Jay

Jay,



The ME406 tray has multiple sets of holes is designed to be able to

mount in the same place as either an Ameriking or ACK ELT (to make

retrofit easier).  I made a mount that fit an ACK E-01 and the ME406

lines up exactly with those holes.  I can get you details when I get

home if you need them.

I mounted my ELT under the fiberglass fairing in the tail. Fits nice back there. One of my buddies suggested that I bend the antenna under the fiberglass fairing also........



As he suggested, putting the antenna vertical my not be all that meaningful as he said, " who knows what position the plane will be in after a crash." Inside the fiberglass cone it is probably better protected in a crash.

Yea but your tail will block out some of the signals and why not turn it on before you crash if you have time? Call your Elt maker and see What they have to say. 

   Look at The AC43 and see what it says about mounting Elt antennas. It's only your life and the people you carry.
