Bob,
Thanks for the heads-up! 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

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.

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.

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 . . .

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.
