What was found

FOUND DEFECTIVE G-SWITCHES ON SEVERAL UNITS DURING THE LAST 6 MONTHS. THE SWITCHES WILL ACTIVATE THE ELT, BUT THE ELT WILL STOP WHEN THE UNIT IS TILTED 20 DEGREES TO 30 DEGREES IN THE ROLL AXIS. ON SOME UNITS, THE G-SWITCH WOULD NOT ACTIVATE THE ELT. UNITS WERE SENT TO THE MANUFACTURER AND REPAIRED. UNITS THEN TESTED CORRECTLY.
