Remove all fixed ELTs at once.

LeadSled @ #796

Thanks for that(to others; confirming my conjecture that ELTs are useless).

Because ELTs have never saved, and will never save, a single life in heavy transport operations, but cost a lot and introduce risk they should be removed at once.

Prognosis: This will not happen. Regulatory authorities(and manufacturers) will never admit that they stuffed up mightily(just imagine AI admitting that having un-moving thrust levers was a bad idea).

All discussion of battery size, capacity, etc is irrelevant. ELTs must be removed.
