In article 3f66c0f5$0$27490$91cee783
@newsreader01.highway.telekom.at, none@none says...
I have to install an ELT in a LS8-b and have the problem that the
fuselage is made out of carbon fiber which shields the radio
waves from the ELT.


Even the area above the baggage compartment? Most gliders use
fiberglass here so GPS or ELT can be mounted there.

I will check that out with DG.

You can check it out yourself with a light bulb. The light will not shine
through a carbon fiber structure.
