The Rules Committee is considering allowing c91 units, but these must
still be mounted. You might want to contact them about personal
units,
if those appeal to you.
I realize the requirement is only for contests now but does the
personal ELT meet the requirement or does it have to be one
installed
in the glider?

I would seem airplanes can have many passangers and do not normally
carry parachutes so logically you would put the ELT in the plane.
Glider pilots in contest carry parachutes so in most cases I can think
of it would be better to have the ELT with the pilot. Is there a reason
this is not allowed in contest flying?
