Brief Description:  ELT Battery Replacement

Ordered and received a replacement ELT battery for the ACK Technologies ELT. Funny thing about these batteries, I tested the old battery with my multi meter, 12.06 volts, The new battery tested at 11.96 volts. Sent an email to ACK questioning this, they replied a typical multi-meter test was meaningless for this type of battery. Now I know!!

Today was Open House for Flightways, the FBO on the field. It's sort of like an airshow (food, bouncy houses, etc.) but without the flying. Tom Morpeth 'suggested' I should be showing the RV8 at the EAA setup, so I did. Got quite a few comments from folks, and questions about when it's going to fly. Pretty soon now, I am borrowing scales next Saturday for the W&B, the Pitot Static system test is the following Monday. The ELT test was today, passed. Seems like it is looking like Sep for first flight. The plane will be ready before I am ready!
