Indeed, there are other exemptions from the ELT requirement that may be
useful or of interest to experimental homebuilders. Reference 14 CFR 91.207
("Part 91")- there are exemptions made when it is required to ferry an
aircraft from a place where repairs cannot be made to a place where they
can, and other ferry operations. More useful, however, are these:
(3) aircraft while engaged in training operations conducted entirely within
a 50-nautical mile radius of the airport from which such local flight
operations began ["flying off your hours"]
(4) aircraft while engaged in flight operations incident to design and
testing
(9) [as mentioned by Virg] aircraft equipped to carry not more than one
person.
