Well, 121.5 mhz ELT's are no longer monitored but I kept mine in the space behind the pilots head above the main wing. I can reach my hand in there to turn it off or on. Your 406 EPIRB could go there. I doubled the diameter of the original tail spring and welded a bigger attach to the tail wheel pivot. The measly 3/8" bolt the tail wheel pivots on bends easily and if it were me, I'd go to the next size up bolt for that. I also cracked the lower rudder hinge. Hey, use lots of glass down there if your building a Q200 cause the plane is nose heavy anyway. Discussion went around a few times with fire extinguishers. I heard of one killing someone but never heard of anyone being saved by one. I chose not to install one. I keep a first aid kit, some tools, spare oil, in a bag in the luggage compartment. I chose not to go with dual rudder pedals. Now on a trip I pick the heaviest bag and toss it where the passenger rudder pedals would have gone. In flight you don't need the pedals and on landing I sure don't want a passenger touching them. Plus that, Rutan when asked about something that is not needed for flight said, "throw it up in the air, if it comes down you don't need it". Mike Q200 N3QP
