Hello good people!
You better all grab your courage everybody because this is flying weather. Now
Im talking about the best 20 minutes of your life.
When you die and St. Peter asks you, Hey, when were you happiest down there? Youre
gonna say well, it was okay the day that I got married and I didnt much
mind the day I first fell in love but seeing the sky in my own Pietenpol Air
Camper that I built myself well sir that beats them all.

Thanks to everyone who responded, and particularly to Andrew, who made a most generous
offer. I'll be taking him up on it.
At the last condx inspection on my airplane, the A&P not only checked for the presence
of the ELT, he checked the date on the battery and also tested the unit
to see if we got a warble on 121.5 MHz.

Oscar,
You have a good A&P. He did the ELT inspection correctly. Part of the inspection
now is that you have to manually (Simulated accident), set it off to make
sure it works and that part of the test is documented in the log books. Hang
on to that A&P if you can.
Andrew did you good. Keep him as a friend too. :)

How do you test an ELT? Drop it on the floor and see if it goes off?

I'll just flat go out here and put in a plug for the A&P who did the last annual
on my airplane: he is Mark Julicher, and he's based at Bulverde Airpark, north
of San Antonio. Super nice guy, really knows these older airplanes and knows
fabric. Actually, the prior annual was conducted by A&P Jeff Scott of Los
Alamos, who also checked the ELT. Jeff is another one who knows these old airplanes,
and he really knows his Continental engines.
Embarrassingly, two of the earlier annuals that were done on my airplane were done
by an air maintenance shop in Laredo, TX... and I don't believe the ELT was
part of the check done. I sure paid a lot for some of the things that that
shop "fixed" (more like UN-fixed) on the airplane. They do NOT know experimentals
and they do NOT know older airplanes unless they are certified or have multiple
engines.
Off soapbox now.

I don't trust you Gary. When I test mine I just hold it with one hand and smack
it into the palm of my other hand. Kind of like clapping. Doesn't take much.

Since we are on the subject of ELTs.
I am fortunate to have an old Dorne & Margolin DM ELT5-2 that is without batteries
that I hope to use.
It says on the case to use only alkaline D-size batteries.
There are two free wires inside the enclosure (+/-).
Does anyone know how the batteries are aligned (parallel/series) to make it work?
I've searched the net but can't find anything for that ELT.
Any suggestions other than to send it to Gary for testing. [Wink]

"free wires"... get it? ;o) Curt, a little more info is required. If you know
how many D-cells the case can hold, we can figure it out. D-cells are 1.5V
apiece and these clusters are usually wired with the batteries in series, so you
could have 1.5, 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, 9, 10.5, 12, or 13.5 volts... or more. However,
nine D-cells to give 13.5 volts makes a pretty hefty battery pack and I
doubt that it would have held more. The battery pack for my Narco ELT-10 is essentially
nine stacked and potted D-cells to give 13.5V, which coincides with
the nominal 14V DC of many aircraft power systems. The radio with battery pack
feels like a chunk of lead or a brick... the specs say it's 3.9 lbs.
The red and black wires that are "free" (no extra "charge", get it?) can be snipped
clean, stripped, and a connector attached so you can fabricate a battery
enclosure with a mating connector. The batteries would join in a "nose to tail"
daisy-chain for a series connection.

Gary is on a roll ;o) My ELT has a 3-position switch on it... OFF-ARMED-ON. I
merely switch it to the ON position to test, trusting that the momentum-actuated
mechanism inside the gadget will do the same in the event of a sudden stop.
I don't really expect it to do anything to save my life or help anybody locate
my suddenly-stopped airplane though.
The Narco ELT-10 is designed to be removable from the aircraft and used by the
pilot or pax as a hand-held locator transmitter. It has a built-in antenna for
that purpose, and the assumption is that it can be removed from the wreckage
(ugh!) and taken to a safe and secure place away from the scene where searchers
can zero in on the occupants and not a tangle of wood and fabric that may be
down in a forest or ravine. Or in Belize.
