Yea or nay? Cheap insurance? http://www.aircraftspruce.com/avselector.php The least expensive listed at aircraft spruce is $750.00 Most are over a thousand. The vast majority of people will never need one and historically they have caused more false alarms than rescues. Has anyone on the list ever had an accident where an ELT was instrumental in their rescue?
