Started installation of ELT per Sect 53-02 ( ACK Tech Model E-04 121.5/406 Mhz Emergency Locator Transmitter). A lot of material to preview in ACK's Installation/Operator Manual. Installed Antenna in baggage area per Steps 1-6, mounted tray in Aft Fuselage, drilled 4 holes in bottom of Vert Stabilizer to mount Audio Alert Indicator. Soldered 4 wires to DIN connector per Steps 1-6 at Sect 53-04 which was kinda challenging due to small size (and triple checking to get order correct!). Need special Duracell Lithium batteries for Audio Indicator (CR2 3V) and Cockpit Remote (PX28L 6 V) before I can mount ELT, etc.
