Bottom line weather the device was Spot or Delorm or any other kind of ELT the crew was negligent in their duties and all died of this as a result of it. The liability should lie with the captain of the ship. They plotted a bad course and we're not vigilant. I've been using a spot three since December, it has worked flawless for my mission. My people are informed of when and where I'm going to fly, anyone who cares has a link to my site. They all know that if I should not show up at the other end or where I'm supposed to be they can track my course. Whether I fly my glider or my plane and whether I crashed either it will not be the fault of my spot device.

God rest their souls, long live the tort
