We have a '96 American Champion 7ECA in which the factory
installed the ELT antenna inside the aft fuse frame, with the
antenna's whip zip-tied to a diagonal upright to keep it away from the
elevator and rudder cables. I hope we never have to go looking for
this airplane.
This is the same outfit that sells airplanes with plugs in the
tank sump drain ports. Plugs instead of quick-drain vaves. Go figure.
We fixed that one immediately.
