Good day All,

I am presently looking to mount my Amer-King AK-450 ELT under the port side 
baggage bay as I have seen others do. One person's website photos showed the 
ELT antennae mounted horizontally across the baggage bay beneath the "D" window.

But upon reading the instructions that came with my ELT, it says that the 
antennae must be mounted within 20 degrees of vertical when the aircraft is in
a 
normal flight attitude. Has something changed? Also they want a minimum 36 
inch diameter ground plane around the base of the antennae. What have others 
done

to fulfill this specification?
