Title: ELT wiring.
Went flying a couple of days ago with a student and at 3000msl had over 50 kts wind. pointed upstream and had him do some slow flight and at one point was actually showing a negative 4 kts ground speed. pretty cool Spent the afternoon sweltering in the shop and finished up this task today; When I mounted the ELT, it would have been super easy to have included another nutplate for a ground stud for the warning buzzer. Then I could have easily just velcroed it to the case or something. Unfortunately, I wasn't that forward thinking. I thought of several options which required one or teh other wires going to this thing to be pretty long, but ultimately, teh simplest solution seemed to be just making a mounting tab with a built in ground stud and pop riveting it to the elt mount. Crafted this put of .032 scrap I had laying around. The bezel that holds the buzzer in is just plastic. Even though its not like it would hurt anything is it unscrewed itself and fell out of the hole, I don't like the idea of stuff like that happening, so one it was tightened down, I gave it a health dollop of E6000 to glue everything in place. wired it into the connector for the ELT. It was the wrong time for testing when I finished (not the first 5 minutes of the hour) and it was approaching 100* in my garage, so I called it a day. I'll go out and check this after it cools off, or maybe tomorrow morning.
