ELT Antenna Location

[Steve Sands]

I have a Model 3 I am rebuilding. I note the advice about putting the ELT antennae inside the fuselage. Has there been any concern or discussion about the UV paint with aluminum in it to reduce the effectiveness of the antennae inside? Thanks all.

My KF3 had it inside. Probably does mess up the antenna pattern some. Notice you don't see the COM antenna being placed there.

Better question is whether the ELT has much use at all other than satisfying the regulations.
