Re Elt: I mounted my Elt on the front cockpit floor in line with the leftside of the front seat. I mounted the antenna on the fairing between the wing & centersection.

Howdy from Big "D"I too have an ACK Model E-01 in my GN-1 Aircamper.It is mounted under my rear seat with remote switchesin the rear cockpit. The antenna is mounted atop the right wing. The external handheld radio antenna is mounted on the left wing.The Model E-01 ELT is automatically activated upon sensing a change of velocity, along it's longitudinalaxis, exceeding 3.5 feet per second. It is designedto be removed from the aircraft and used as a personallocating device when it is necessary to leave the sceneof the accident. Not a bad idea when flying low and slowin rural areas.Mike KingGN-177 MK Dallas, TexasLike Steve's, mine has the >I have the ACK ELT in my Air Camper.
