Hi Richard
I got mine from Harry Mehendellson's and always carry it as part of my
"grab bag" a trick I learned from my sailing days. I consider it a vital
part of my flying kit. Basically I put together a small pack containing
a handheld VHF, ELT, some warm clothes(vacuum packed) and lots of mars
bars, matches etc. They all fit nicely in an old video camera case and
are kept with the shoulder strap hanging between the seats hence the
term "grab bag" hopefully I will never need it, but personally I
wouldn't fly without it especially over water. My advise is BUY ONE :-)
Cheers
Alan

Alternative Engines - Geo/Suzuki
If you are interested in alternative engines for
experimental aircraft you are invited to
join the flyGeo_uncensored group and learn about the
fantastic Geo/Suzuki engines used in
aircraft.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FlyGeo_uncensored
Both bolt on gearbox and cog belt redrives and all
other aircraft
conversion parts are available for very reasonable
cost. Turbo
versions are available also. Gearbox type redrives for
around US$1750-
The Geo/Suzuki engine uses about half the fuel that
the two stroke
engines use.
The 1.3 litre four cylinder Suzuki engine beats the
Rotax 912 in
power and weight, again both gearbox and belt type
redrives are
available.
The Geo/Suzuki one litre engine weighs a little more
than a Rotax
582, it produces 62 HP normally aspirated but with a
better, flatter
torque curve.
All those advantages plus flying engines with the
hours up to prove
them and last but not lease, far, far cheaper than a
Rotax two or four stroke engine.
One person on the group has over 1000 hours on one
installation.
FlyGeo_uncensored is a very active and helpful group
that is also a fun group and is not
doubt one of the fastest growing aircraft alternative
engine groups.
