KR> BATTERY RESTORE EQUIPMENT/ JONES

[Larry H.]

Some months or years back, someone mentioned a battery charger/restore type 
gizmo. I think it would restore a shorted out battery or revive a battery that 
would normally be traded in. Anyone have info on such a gadget or remember when 
it was talked about. I looked in the archives but did not find anything so far.

Mark Jones, what is the update on your health and ability to fly soon? Hope you 
are doing well.

Interesting. I have a friend at my EAA chapter who has a pair he says he 
would lend me

Glenn I went done to Harber freight bought a couple cheap 750 lb engine stands 
for $35.oo each bought some steel to telescope up and down for ground clearance 
that way it can be used for fusaluge, wings and auto or aircraft engines its a 
hole lot cheaper than $1100.oo for a rotisserie. If you need I can do drawing 
of how its done.

The time for (re)building N1333A has begun. The shop is almost cleaned and 
organized enough to start. The first thing I see that I am going to need to do 
is to build a rotisserie to put her onto so I can move her around and position 
her for easy repair. I will be removing the rudder and elevators. The 
turtledeck will be removed also. the the engine is off, the mount will be 
removed or kept on as required by the rotisserie (preferably removed). Does 
anyone have any plans, sketches, dimensions, and/or suggestions for the 
rotisserie? Thanks

KR> Surprise! FCC Mandates Prohibition of 121.5 MHz ELTs]

[Dana Overall]

Before everyone jumps on the bandwagon on beating out chests:-), btw, thanks 
Eric for bring this forward but there has already been a tremendous amount of 
work done for clarification of the proposed rule change by the FCC:

Update from the Aircraft Electronics Association website: 
http://www.aea.net/governmentaffairs...item.asp?ID=43



The August date listed in the AEA Regulatory Update June 21, is the 
absolute earliest date the FCC rule could have become effective. Thanks 
to the efforts of the AOPA, the AEA and other trade associations, the 
final rule has not been submitted to the Federal Register for 
publication; therefore, the 60-day clock for implementation of the rule 
has not begun. As such, at this time, there is no way of knowing if or 
when this rule will become final.



The FCC has clarified that the rule is targeting legacy TSO C91a type
 ELTs, which operate primarily on 121.5 MHz, not the general use of 
frequency 121.5 MHz as the rule implies. Current TSO C126 ELTs are not 
affected by this ruling.



While the AEA encourages its membership not to sell C91a ELTs to 
customers without them knowing the latest ruling of the FCC, there is no
 immediate regulatory need for operators to upgrade their legacy C91a 
ELTs to the more modern C126 ELTs. For safety reasons, the AEA continues
 to encourage operators to upgrade their ELTs to the modern C126 ELT. 
Operators of the legacy C91a ELTs should be made aware the usefulness of
 their ELTs is very limited, as the justification for the FCC ruling 
indicates, and most likely will not provide the search-and-rescue 
capabilities they might expect.

KR> Surprise! FCC Mandates Prohibition of 121.5 MHz ELTs]

[Eric Pitts]

I read this today.  Hopefully they will fix this.

JUNE 24, 2010
Surprise! FCC Mandates Prohibition of
121.5 MHz ELTs
In a report that came out under the radar on June 1, the FCC slipped in
a stunning mandate. Section (h) of the executive summary of the report
reads "We prohibit the certification, manufacture, importation, sale or
continued use of 121.5 MHz emergency locator transmitters
(ELTs) other than the Breitling Emergency Watch ELT." Bravo for
Breitling, but what about the rest of us? U.S. pilots all know that
satellite monitoring of 121.5 signals was discontinued in 2009, but they
are still acceptable to the FAA — just not the FCC, effective in August.
That allows two months' compliance time, and even if every GA aircraft
owner took immediate action, it would still be impractical to convert
all U.S.-registered aircraft that quickly. The report took the Aircraft
Electronics Association by surprise, too. And as AOPA's vice president
of regulatory affairs Rob Hackman said, "When two government agencies
don't coordinate, GA can suffer." AOPA also proposed that the FCC did
not sufficiently understand the implications of its ruling, in part
because the agency suggested aircraft operators would "migrate" to the
newer 406 MHz ELTs only if the older technology ELTs were
rendered illegal to use by FCC fiat.
