Brief Description:  ELT Antenna and Cable

I completed the antenna installation. I cherry max riveted the antenna clips in place. They hold very securely. I used a single strand of the copper safety wire to hold the clips shut. The copper wire can be fairly easily broken for removing the antenna.

I used velcro to tie the antenna cable in such a way that pulling it will release the bundle and the cable can be pulled out and the transponder removed. I know it is a highly unlikely scenario but with the panel being riveted it would make it pretty impossible to remove if it was secured any other way. The stiffness of the cable being in the confined space will work well.

So other than putting pins in the remote plug and hooking it up to the back of the remote this install is complete.
