That reminds me of the book Adrift by Steven Callahan, floating in his life raft for 76 days. One day he was looking at the manufacturing tag and saw that it was warranted for 40 days, and wondered just how he might be compensated if it didn't last longer.However, I'm not sure about the ELT antenna. I don't like the idea of having it external where it could easily be damaged if the plane flips over, but I don't see a good place to put it inside the frame. I need to break down and buy it so I can mock up the antenna, but I've been holding off because ACK's warranty reads, "...warrantied [...] for a period of three years from their manufacture date."
