Brief Description:  Elt batteries and wt and bal sheets

I took the ELT out of its bracket from behind the baggage compartment and after weighing the 6 duracell D cells, I installed them into the ELT. I entered the install date on the case and the change date for two years from now. Tested the decelleration operation by shaking andf also by tapping on the work bench. Good warning tone recieved both times on my hand held. Installed the ELT back in its bracket and secured the clamp clasp with some twist wire. After antenna hooked up and the remote wire hooked upo, I did another test of operations. Seems to work fine.

The 1.75 pound battery weight was not included in the empty weight of the airplane at last weighing. So I simply figured the arm of my ELT mount and recalculated the CG. CG actually move aft 0.14 inches. So I adjusted my wt and bal sheets to reflect the minor adjustment.
