Any other uses for the ELT bracket from Vans (https://store.vansaircraft.com/elt-...supply-bracket-right-elt-pwr-mount-7-9-r.html)?
I bought both left and right, and now I don't know if I need left at all (the right one I am going to use for an ELT).
Since I haven't riveted aft fuselage yet, this is now the easiest time to install these brackets, but can't think of a good use for the left one. Given that RV-7 tends to have aft CG, I probably don't want more equipment / weight at the back?
But on the other hand, my tight fit 90 angle drill attachment is not small enough to drill the bracket in place, so if I don't install it now, it would be a royal pain to install it later. Thoughts?
