Some time back I posted that ACK Technologies will come out with a replacement for their E-01 121.5 ELT and sure enough they did.
In checking out their web site they have released a new 406 unit.
My only problem with this unit is that the antenna is swept back 20 degrees and will not fit where I currently have my ELT antenna (behind the roll bar in my tip-up). For me, this is a deal breaker.
I suspect this will also keep people from mounting the antenna under the empennage fairing or replacing one that might be close to the VS as it might strike the VS in flight.
Will this cause problems for the rest of you?
