Brief Description: Rivet in aft ski racks & mount ELT antenna
Got the two aft ski rack mounts in place this morning. Always fun to crawl into the tailcone and do this type of work. These two mounts are just meant to keep things in check. The actual clamping and stuff will be done by the mid and forward mounts. While I was at it I decided to start looking at where to mount the ELT and antenna. The common place for the antenna is on one of the aft bulkheads with it projecting back along the VS. This works well so I followed that line of thought. The common location everyone is using to mount the ELT itself is that little deck at the VS/HS/Emp junction. It's already a little crowded with the trim cables and stuff so I may take advantage of my little hat shelf again and mount it under there. Haven't decided 100% though.
