Working on the installation of an Artex 345 ELT. The instructions are not very helpful regarding antenna installation " Select a suitable location where the antenna can be installed vertically "&" guidance may be found in AC 43.13-2, Chapter 3 ". With this unit ( all 406 ELT) sending their signal to a satellite the antenna must be installed on the top side of the airplane per Artex technical support.
So here's the question has anyone figured out where to install the antenna? Per my attempts at selecting a location no suitable location can be found on a RV-8 with a slider canopy. To the exterm rear of the fuselage where it's not interfering with the rear canopy skirt the wind blasts would cause the stainless steel whip beat upon the vertical stabilizer.
In the call to Tec support when I explained my plight the guy I spoke with he didn't know what a RV8 is and when I explained what it was his reply was "we don't do experimental "
Any ideas or suggestions
