far 91.207 part F says when a elt is not required. (4) Aircraft while engaged in flight operations incident to design and testing. so even in phase 2 of your limitations would you need any type of elt?
If you had built an RV-3, you wouldn't need one as they are not required in single place airplanes.
Here's a thought, and I haven't looked up the regs, if you had an APRS system installed, could you call that your ELT? I guess the question is, how do they define and ELT?
ELTs are defined by TSO C-126 andTSO C-91a. APRS systems do not meet the TSO specification.

I don't recall the specific FAR but I'm pretty sure that an ELT is not required for flights within a 50 mile radius from your home base.
