REFLECTOR: ground plane

[Lou Stedman]

I too just received my new ELT, Ameri-King AK451-S. My old elt was mounted under my rear seat which is where I plan to mount this one. My instructions say that 24” legs on the ground plane would be the best but at least the same length as the antenna I will be using. That antenna is 14”. I think I have room on the exterior side of the belly to install the foil which they suggest. I will have to install something into the floor to accept the antenna but not sure what that should be. Any suggestions as to what material to use for the foil ground plane and the hard point would be appreciated. Thanks
