I fly out of Minden, NV in both glider and Husky. Like other western states,
Nevada has far more desolate area than settled. During a search for a downed
Super Cub last year, it took over 3 weeks to locate the wreck in a canyon
(father and daughter deceased). Interestingly, another aircraft wreck from
1964 was also found during the search!

At around $500, an ARC PLB w/built in GPS is cheap insurance. Others may
disagree - - but *I* think I'm worth it (g).

Do you carry an epirb when flying x-country or not?

This might influence your decision
