What has worked for the rest of you? > Hi Dan, I have the same ELT (ACK) in my 320. Great choice since it uses flashlight batteries. How many other Lancair parts can you buy at the 7-11? Anyway, after searching for a good mounting spot I came to the conclusion that it could either be accessible or out of the way but probably not both. I ended up making a glass bracket for it behind the baggage bulkhead. I attached a small length of 3/4" pvc tubing to the fus side to capture the antenna and keep it from slapping the fus side. Advantage 1 is that it is out of the way. The 320 has damn little extra room for anything. Advantage 2 is that it is probably in a better position to survive a crash being out of the way of flailing baggage, etc. The obvious disadvantage is that it would require some post-crash digging to get to it. For me, I felt that out of the way was best. Bill harrelson@erols.com N5ZQ, LNC2/F, O-320-D2G, coming up on 300 hours in 14 months.
