Yes, I know... The thought was to have Outlook just save a copy of what you've sent to the list, *before* it leaves your computer. We're all getting the posts to the 'list, it's just earthlink that's being silly and preventing them getting back to you. My solution was to keep a copy before earthlink sees it, and then let earthlink do whatever it wants to when it comes back from the 'list. I know, it shouldn't have to work that way, but it might be easier than getting Earthlink to change how they block email... :) -Rob ________________________________ Message 11 ____________________________________ Time: 08:46:13 AM PST US From: Matt Dralle Subject: RE: RV-List: Spamblocker problem - Matt please read --> RV-List message posted by: Matt Dralle What I started doing was using 'formail' to clean the headers of incoming messages, leaving only "From", "Message-Id:", "Subject:", "Date:", "To:", "From:", "Cc:", and "Reply-To:".

If you mount your ELT vertically it probably would not activate. Cirrus aircraft have similiar problem when they descend vertically under their parachute with a horizontally mounted ELT, they require manual ELT activation on descent (wonder if I would remember that).

You are required to do an ELT inspection once a year. Read FAR 91.207(d). The inspection of the installation is part of the REQUIRED once a year check. You MUST also do the inspection and test the "G" switch per FAR 91.207(d). All inspections must be recorded. If you get RAMP CHECKED and the FAA ASI from the FSDO asks to see the record, you will be required to produce it. If you have a LOG entry that the inspection has been done and it is not MOUNTED CORRECTLY, there will be a VIOLATION for falsifying records. Gary A.

The installation manual said the ELT need to be mounted with the arrow on the case pointed in the direction of flight. I know I have seen many of them mounted vertical (the arrow pointed up). Can it be mounted vertical???

I had them and now they are lost. Try as I may, I can't find them. I checked archives; no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

By the way, it seems my ELT had two arrows for horizontal or verticle mounting. Maybe I will double check that tomorrow.
