What a load of Bollocks you talk, if you can't afford £ 230 for a handheld ELT then quite frankly you shouldn't be flying. Bit like insurance expensive until you need it ! Flying across mid Wales last week as a customer said I can't see any form of human existence other than a few tracks through some forests. So engine goes bang you make a landing having not put out a Mayday ( which is easy to do as most helicopters fly within 1500 ft of the ground or about 45 seconds until on the ground ) but are injured, were do you get help ? Phone a friend ( if you have a signal )
I can only assume you value your life and those you fly with at £ 230
