Is there an ideal location for the ELT and ELT Antenna on an RV-8A?  

   

Thanks,

Hi Robin,



Here's a ton of documentation on what I did with the installation of the ELT and antenna.  I've got the unit that takes a GPS serial input and transmits your last coordinates as well.  Pretty cool feature.  Lots of dialog on the various pages about setting it up, etc.

 As a A&P and a previous builder of a RV6 I recommend aft of the canopy  about 6”. It is out of way plus the airflow is decreased in that area thus crap that flys over the canopy doesn’t hit the antenna.  And flying, and repairs, I have seen it all!

I think the RV-8’s sliding canopy slides all the way to the vertical stabilizer.

I have my elt in the rear baggage compartment and the antenna mounted on the rear seat right armrest with the whip rapping up around the right seat. Looks good and is not in the way.
