    I agree its probably not gospel but in my case I was at the DARs mercy.When he did my AW inspection the FAA inspector showed up also,he was doing a spot inspection on the DAR so I was double whammyed. Everything passed except the ELT,if I hadnt put one in at all I may have been ok but since I did it needed to have the remote.Your right about the 406 type just wish they would come down in price a little.Probably not a item to be a tight ass about but sure seems like they are really overpriced compared to other electronic gizzmos.Randy

    Im not a computer guy so I dont know how to attach websites but here is a DAR checklist for requirments to pass inspection.#14 on checklist shows a elt with a remote switch as a requirment.Hopefully this helps.Randy

  5. horsepower added a post in a topic ELT Recommendations   

    When I had my Skyraider inspected everything passed but the used ELT that I had put in.The DAR put my inspection on hold until the following weekend telling me to put in the new elt with the remote switch.The old ones are legal on a certified plane as thats how they were equipt at the time.He told me on a homebuilt he could not sign off with the old style without remote switch.Of course I had to pay 250.00 for him to come back the next weekend.I never found anywhere where I had to have the new style otherwise I would have already had it in there.If I were you I would call a DAR and find out for sure to save you the same hassle that I went through.Let us all know what you find out so I will know if I got screwed.Im getting kind of used to that.Randy

    This is the one I got for my Skyraider,it has the remote switch that is required and as far as ANT, you can mount under fuselage if you need to,they hardly stick down.Dont buy an old elt that doesnt have the remote switch or it will not pass.Randy

  10. horsepower added a post in a topic Football Rant Anyone?   

    Im with Larry on this one,I too am sick of all the ad crap on this stuff.I havent figured out why we hold our sports people to higher standards than our Congress even our President.They are all a bunch of overpaid assholes that will buy their way out of any trouble they get into.But the people that make these stupid ads could give a rats ass about anyone but themselves, so it is a bunch of hypocrisy.Randy

  12. horsepower added a post in a topic Experimental Registration   

    I would call a local DAR or FSDO and ask what is envolved. With the 51 percent rule not sure how that works on a decertified  bird.You would have to have it reinspected  and then would apply for a new N number.Good Luck Randy

  21. horsepower added a post in a topic Primary non comercial.. hell yeah! lets hope this passes   

    I think so Ed,they will treat it like a LSA,which if you have a drivers license you should qualify.Im all for it,theres too many people like me that have to stress about passing a FAA physical,even though Im healthy there are some things that just start going bad as we get older. I have enough common sense to not fly if Im not well.Hope it passes.Randy

  25. horsepower added a post in a topic Murphy Rebel Elite   

    Its just a two place hanger,probably would not be legal anywhere but here.Someone added on to one end,its the last hanger on the airport and then its a field where the Rebel is.My hanger is next to it but not much better,it is enclosed but just gravel on the floor.Price is right so I am not complaning.Randy
