As everybody knows, the long-awaited ACK Avionics E04 Model 406 Mhz ELT is still not available for sale. Is this impacting your project? If so, please contact ACK and request that they sell a pre-installation kit for the E04, which contains everything but the as-yet uncertified box - which would include the Remote Control Panel Indicator, Audio Alert Indicator, antenna, cabling, mounting bracket, and connectors.
This would allow you to:
1. Rivet seat bottoms / baggage floors in place
2. Finish all wiring
3. Rivet the aft turtle deck in place
4. Paint and finalize panel
etc. etc.
Keep in mind that ACK is no longer producing the 121.5 Mhz E01 so you cannot go that route in the near term I don't think. If your project is also being held up and having everything but the box (only need that to fly) would be beneficial, please consider contacting ACK to convince them that they need to market a pre-install kit and the ELT box separately, and sell the preinstall kit NOW!
Here is their contact info:
Phone: (408) 287-8021
Email: [email protected]
Fax: (408) 971-6879
Address: 440 W. Julian Street
San Jose, CA
95110
Thanks!
