Kannad 406 ELT

[Bill Watson]

On another Forum there was a discussion about ELTs and cost of batteries. The Kannad 406 Interga requires a battery change every 6 years, does it take the BAT200 at $194 or the BAT300 at $514? I think the Bat200 goes in the compact Kannad. The new Carbon Cub spec sheet just says Kannad 406.

If you have the 406AF compact, it's the BAT200

I think I stated that, maybe the question should have been which Kannad ELT does the carbon cub come equipped with. I don't have the airplane yet.

[Mark Albery]

The compact is the most popular and with which the seat base is designed to work best.

Some builders have used different ELTs and in different locations.

I'm sorry that I have confused this, I just wanted to know what ELT was used in a new factory completed carbon cub. I am sure for weight consideration they would use the Kannad compact the spec sheet does not say. Therefore the cheaper battery would be used, it lasts for 6 years and that may well run me.
