A Comment,  That ELT held on the sidewall with one bid will not be
sufficient to withstand a 20-30 G deceleration.  My understanding is that
you need to affix the ELT  on a solid foundation so it will not tear away
and be damaged or tear off the antenna lead.  That ELT may be the one device
that saves your life.  Read the instructions for mounting and make sure it
is securly fastened.  I mounted mine on the hat shelf, clearly visible, on
the harness hard point.  You could to the same and mount it on the underside
of the hat shelf, if you so desire to obscure it from view.  Make sure that
the lead in wires will not be damaged in a sudden decelleration.  Mounting
on the hatshelf gets the CG forward of the aft locations heretofore
mentioned, which is highly desirable in the LNC2s.
