Hi all!
I need to buy an ELT for the -10 I'm building, and I've been offered a good and very well-priced ELT, but it's a helicopter version (Kannad Integra AP-H) rather than airplane version. Does anyone understand the differences well enough to advise whether this is reasonable to use on an airplane?
My naive understanding is that they have sensors in multiple directions (since the helicopter won't necessarily be moving forward when it crashes), so technically it'd work at least just as well, if not better, than the airplane version, but I suspect there must be a catch maybe it activates too easily for an airplane?
Thanks
