My post about mounting it in an accessible spot did not say nor intend "within arms reach". What I intended was a spot that could fairly easily be accessed after a crash (where for whatever reason the ELT did not automatically activate and the remote panel wiring may have been damaged) to push the manual ON switch on the ELT unit. I am aware that that switch is normally only for bench testing, but if my life were on the line I would push the button and deal with the "instructions" later.
By the way, to give credit where it is due, those pics in my previous post were from the Kitfox factory showing where they mounted the ELT in their SLSA, which I copied because it looked good to me.
