Re: ELT Antenna Mounting location INSIDE fuse?
Andy,
I mounted my antenna very similar to where and how Bill mounted his.? My actual ELT is located on the diagonals just below and to the rear where Bill has his antenna mounted.

Re: ELT Antenna Mounting location INSIDE fuse?
Andy, I have attached a photo of how I did it in my Buttercup. There is just a small bracket to hold the antenna. It is mounted on an aluminum frame that is the support for the baggage area.

Forget about zero incidence. Even Wittman made a mistake in believing he had zero incidence on any of the Tailwinds he built. I measured #1 in the Wittman Hangar at approximately .8 degrees. (8/10 of
