Skip Koss sent me a copy of the NTSB accident analysis yesterday. I've archived both pieces in the reference documents folder on aeroelectric.com http://tinyurl.com/ag2e9xk List members with an interest are encouraged to review these documents. If this event had occurred 30 years ago, the vast majority of pertinent detail would be relatively inaccessible as the means for dissemination was pretty lethargic. The 'net gives us fantastic tools for sharing facts and fostering understanding. Bob . . .

    Subject: ELT antenna inside
    I know several RV owners that have placed the ELT antenna horizontally on the aft bulkhead, pointing aft and inside the fiberglass empennage fairing. I've got the 121.5 version and use a hand held iCom rubber ducky antenna. With both the aircraft and a portable hand held receiver on the ground, I've had good emergency signal reception at over three miles. Not bad reception, IMHO, considering the vertically polarized ELT antenna is mounted horizontally and waws pointing in the direction of the receiver. My set up passed the faa certification process with no comment regarding the ELT antenna. A friend just mounted a 406 mhz ELT antenna on the aft bulkhead and under the empennage fairing on an RV-8. He used the 406 "walk around" antenna which is considerably shorter than the recommended external aircraft whip antenna usually provided. Bird is not ready for certification yet, but the antenna fits nicely without touching any metal. Charlie Brame RV-6A N11CB San Antonio

    Subject: Work bench cord clutter solution
    There are 'plug strips' and then there are PLUG STRIPS. Multiple outlet assemblies commonly used in equipment cabinets are exceedingly robust but with a price to match. Plug strips offered at Big Lots and WallyWorld are inexpensive but always made of plastic and feature relatively low-pressure contacts in their sockets. I ran across this puppy on eBay a few weeks ago and ordered one . . . http://tinyurl.com/bbuemvg The price is right, the body is all metal and the socket quality is good. Looking forward to de-cluttering the power cords behind the lathe, grinder, belt sander, mini-drill press and shear along with their companion work-lights. Good bang for the buck. Bob . . .
