Oh, on my ASH-26E, the ELT is mounted on the cockpit sill just behind
my left elbow. The fuselage is all carbon except for the area above
the baggage compartment, so the whip antenna is mounted internally and
curves around the top. An improvement might be to install a foil type
of antenna in the roof of the baggage compartment.

Is there a reason not to use a small flexible antenna from a hand held
radio for the 121.5/243Mhz ELTs?
