Larry are you still using that in-the-ear headset? I was just wondering if that's the best choice for a noisy plane like an RV. I bought the lightspeed crosscountry anr headset and the noise doesn't seem too bad to me as a new rv driver. Actually, not bad at all, even with the anr turned off. I haven't done anything to the firewall. My exhaust pipes do have an angled section at the ends. is that the turn down you're talking about?

Koolmat has a fireproof rubbery like material on one side the side toward the back of the airplane and fiberglass impregnated on the side toward the firewall. It is much more substantive and stops almost all the oil canning of the firewall. I have a piece for you, where do I send it. I will get it in today's mail if you send me an address ASAP.

I plan on using those, but right now I'm using the new pair of Telex ANR's. The stick-it-in-your-ear headsets worked fine as passenger in Len's plane. He just has firewall insulation, I think.

Larry, Someone once told me the cheapest noise insulation kit for an RV is a set of Bose (or insert your favorites) noise cancelling headsets. We have some noise deadening stuff in our RV6 but if you take the headsets off it is STILL loud! I have used both the Bose Series X (best feel to me) and the DRE 6000 (best value to me) . Both (and I am sure MANY others) are fine. James ________________________________________________________________________________

From: "Larry Bowen" <Larry(at)bowenaero.com>
FYI ============ A special notice to AOPA members in the central North Carolina area ==> ATTENTION PILOTS <== AOPA is sending this message to advise pilots in and near Charlotte, North Carolina, that the FAA is expected to issue a notam restricting flight in the area during President Bush's planned visit on Friday, September 17. Based on information from the Bush campaign, the president will be in the area for an event at 3:45 p.m. local time. AOPA anticipates that the notam will establish a large temporary flight restriction (TFR) limiting general aviation flight. Typically, these presidential travel-related TFRs are 60 nautical miles in diameter (30-nm radius) and contain one or more smaller general aviation no-fly zones. AOPA will post the notam on AOPA Online ( http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html ) as soon as possible after it is issued. A graphic will also be available. Because TFR airspace frequently changes, AOPA strongly encourages pilots to obtain a briefing and CHECK NOTAMS before every flight. TFR violators will be intercepted and forced to land. ==> HELPFUL WEB LINKS <== AOPA's Real-Time Flight Planner provides graphical depictions of TFRs ( http://www.aopa.org/flight_planner/ ). Check the FAA's TFR Web site ( http://tfr.faa.gov ). Download the AOPA Air Safety Foundation's intercept procedures card ( http://download.aopa.org/epilot/2003/intercept.pdf )or review ASF's "Know Before You Go" program ( http://www.aopa.org/asf/know_before/ ). ==> MAKE SURE YOU'RE PROTECTED <== SIGN UP FOR AOPA'S LEGAL SERVICES PLAN Because of the heavy call volume from members and the changing climate for FAA regulations and increased vigilance, we want to remind you to consider the AOPA Legal Services Plan protection.

Larry: I am sorry to hear you have joined the ranks of electronic ignition owners who have had unexpected trouble. I know exactly what that's like :-( I sent my Rose module back on a one-way trip to Chattanooga a long time ago, about halfway through my test period, and have been happily flying along behind dual mags ever since. (It's all in the archives...) I burn more fuel, have less horsepower, and use expensive aviation plugs, but I sleep well at night and I don't anticipate getting stuck in the Bahamas with an ignition problem . I wish these things worked as claimed 100% of the time, as I'd happily be a customer. I would love to have all the pruported benefits with no reliability hassles, but after a faulty experience, I remain gun-shy about these ignitions. To paraphrase one father in ancient times, "Jeff, Klaus: I _want_ to believe. Help thou my unbelief!" Meanwhile the LASAR is the only one that turns my head even for a moment. Hope you get it all ironed out. At least you won't have to split the case to solve this one :-) I'm hunkered down waiting for the rain to hit, and for the UPS man to bring my blank instrument panel from Van's, so I can repair to the Bat Cave for top secret panel upgrades... -Stormy ________________________________________________________________________________

I recently heard the JR has stopped selling his systems but will continue to service those fielded. Larry, I too am sorry to hear about your electronic ignition problems. Like Stormy, I'm running2 mags and would love to install an electronic ignition system, but everytime I hear about a problem it makes me glad to have the basic "old" sysytem. Good Luck, Bob Martin ps..I use Lightspeed ANR's.....and yes it is LOUD if I take them off....actually deafening!! ________________________________________________________________________________

Let me throw my two cents worth in here.... This picnic that Wayne8 is talking about is put on by the Cape Fear Aero Association, and is one of our most fun events of the year. It is very informal, just come as you are and be prepared for good hamburgers and hotdogs. Just leave a little money in the kitty for next year. We give rides to any kids that want to go up, and then just go up and play as much as we can stand it. Len, this is a great excuse to show up as a group formation and show these guys what a real arrival looks like. You guys come on down. The location is Grays Creek, 2GC, about six miles due south of Fayetteville airport, FAY. Hope to see everybody there.

This picnic that Wayne8 is talking about is put on by the Cape Fear Aero Association, and is one of our most fun events of the year. It is very informal, just come as you are and be prepared for good hamburgers and hotdogs. Just leave a little money in the kitty for next year. We give rides to any kids that want to go up, and then just go up and play as much as we can stand it. Len, this is a great excuse to show up as a group formation and show these guys what a real arrival looks like. You guys come on down. The location is Grays Creek, 2GC, about six miles due south of Fayetteville airport, FAY. Hope to see everybody there. If there is a group, we can gather up over Eastover Air Ranch and go to 2GC from there. What do you guys think? David Davenport RV-6 I am in !!! Meet at Eastover sounds good !!!

Mine is spray glued to the inside of the baggage compartment with the fiberglass side glued to the back side of the firewall. It is going to be a pain since you are already together. I did mine before the top piece was on. I would suggest templates out of thin cardboard cut to fit, then you can cut holes for the nuts and bolts that go through the firewall. I used some hardwall tubing sharpened and hammered out the holes for the nuts and bolts. You will be suppressed how well it deadens the sound and stops the oil canning.

Hey guys, getting ready to install the AOA port, so I can move on with the wing. Which dimple dies are good for #4 screws? I don't have #4 d.d. set.. wondering if 1/8" dimples would work.. I suppose a hole is needed at the bottom of leading edge so the upper port can be drained.. Any recommendations on size of this hole? Anything else to pay special attention to? Thanks!

You have the PSS AOA? I don't remember how I dimpled, but I remember having to file 100 degree angles on the screws to fit nicely in the dimple. Fun.

Radomir: I did use the #30 and it worked great. I also connected a metal tube (chromed copper) so it extends a little below the bottom skin. This allows me to drain the top port by simply pushing up on the tube. Remember to seal the port to the skin. (I used form-a-gasket as recommended in the instructions.)

Thanks everyone for prompt responses. I'll try out 1/8 d.d. set on a scrap piece first to see how it'll work out. If these screws are "wrong" (not 100 deg.) I'll just temporarily place them there and then maybe get "real" screws later (from microfasteners, I guess). Is this form-a-gasket available at auto parts stores? I have some blue RTV.. not sure if that'd work for sealing. (trying to never crack open that proseal I have in the freezer :) Radomir __________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Greys Creek Fly In
SERV: A little recap for those of you that did not make the Greys Creek Fly In. Wayne8 and I departed Greensboro around 1:00pm to meet up with Dave Davenport and John Wilson at Eastover Airpark just north of Fayetteville for the short flight over to Greys Creek. As Wayne8 and I arrived Dave and John were on the ground already judging our approaches and landings !!! We laid out our plans for a flight of three ... yes Wayne8 decided not to make the trip over with us for reasons only he will be able to give ..... John led us over and into trail for a low pass down the runway .... love my RV !!! We circled to land on 25 (which is very narrow !!) and back taxi . There were probably 30 or so planes on the ground including a few SERV members, Ed Regensburg, Mike Barbee, and Bill Carothers had just departed. There was one other recently completed RV-6A without paint that I saw takeoff but did not get the opportunity to say hello ... might be Robert from Fayetteville ????? Loved the atmoshpere at Greys Creek .. a small country airport ... with lots of nice people. Mike Barbee probably had the most fun ... he flew in with a friend that recently purchased the Giles 202 with the awesome paint job that was featured in Sport Aviation about 6 months ago ... Primal Fear ... or something like that. He let me touch the controls and I am not sure I could fly the darn thing ... those controls are unbelievable .. extremely smooth and I am sure it does not take much to move the plane !!! Mike said they flew togther and his friend would just turn it inverted and fly along with them !!! It was a lot of fun ... hope more of you will make it next time !!! Anyone going to Winchester ... Darlington ... etc this weekend? Len ________________________________________________________________________________

That's A Little Too Close Airman Forced To Land After Close Encounter With Presidential TFR The pilot of a small aircraft was forced to land Wednesday, after his aircraft got just a little too close to President Bush, who was on a campaign swing through King Of Prussia and the western part of the Keystone State. WPVI-TV reports the 84-year old pilot from New Jersey and his passenger were up for one of those $50 cups of coffee when they were intercepted. They were forced to land at Pottstown-Limerick Airport and questioned by both the FBI and Secret Service. "He was in the wrong place at the wrong time," said airport operations manager Chris Jordan. "The gentleman was just going for a cup of coffee in Chester County and didn't quite make it." There were conflicting reports of just who forced the elderly pilot down -- a state police helicopter or USAF F-15 jets. WPVI reported the jet crews fired flares to get the civilian's attention before escorting him to Pottstown-Limerick. After more than three hours of questioning, the pilot and his passenger were allowed to go free. There was no immediate indication on whether the pilot, whose name wasn't released, would be charged with violating restricted airspace. Watch our for those TFR's.

If you're looking for opinions for Saturday, Darlington has more antique & classic planes, whereas Winchester is pretty much "across the board". Being an old plane buff, I would prefer Darlington Saturday, but I'm like Ron, I'll go either way. Somebody make it a tie-breaker. Len, your levels of decorum concering last Sunday are amazing. Someone owes you some big hush money.

Understood Ed. We did not get a chance to leave Columbia until after 1 PM (almost 2 PM) due to the same weather. Flew down as a flight of THREE RVs. After we got there it RAINED! After the rain passed, we decided we had best make it back to Columbia. As we were taxiing out 2 RVs from NC flew in, saw us leaving and did a low pass. One of them was the yellow and white "Songbird". There were at least two other RV6's there and an RV8. Not bad for an "Antique and Classic Fly-in".

Hey guys, I'm installing the aileron bellcrank, and was wondering about the brass bushing that goes through. It's now sticking out, by about 1/32" on each side. When installed, that allows the bellcrank to actually move up/down a little bit. Is that OK? Also, the nut is barely on the bolt in that situation.. I'd say 1-2 threads are showing (hard to say due to the locking plastic being there).I guess it goes a bit deeper, if we don't count that plastic. Does this sound right? Is bellcrank supposed to move even slightly between the brackets? Thanks! Radomir ________________________________________________________________________________

Sounds just right. The brass should be whats compressed between the other parts, allowing the bellcrank to spin freely (and go up/down a little). If you aren't happy with the threads showing on the bolt, try a thin washer. If you don't have these already, buy 100. You'll use 'em later. - Larry Bowen Larry(at)BowenAero.com http://BowenAero.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Radomir Zaric [mailto:vitez(at)carolina.rr.com] > Sent: Monday, October 04, 2004 10:16 PM > To: rvsoutheast-list(at)matronics.com > Subject: RVSouthEast-List: aileron bellcrank > > --> > > Hey guys, > > > I'm installing the aileron bellcrank, and was wondering about > the brass bushing that goes through.

Timely inquiry, Steve, as I was just about to post a question to gauge the general interest level... I'm still planning onthe get-together Saturday. Wx prog looks good. Fall colors are just beginning, but promising. No lumberjacking will be expected of guests- that was a joke. I am serious about grilling some shrimp as well as tube-steaks, but need a head count to help with that. RWY info is best had from AirNav.com under airport identifier 12VA. We'll monitor 122.85 on the handie-talkie for a Unicom of sorts. Aiming for an afternoon start time of about 3pm and winding down by 6 to give everyone a chance to get home (dark is about 7 by now). We'll supply food and drinks; no need for anyone to bring anything thing time unless they just want to. Covered dish contributions will not be turned away :-) Len- check with Larry Small to see if he can make it. "Rain date" of the following Saturday would be fine with me, as would Sunday the 10th. I'd be glad to move the event in case of weather or low anticipated turnout; it's a "group call" as far as I am concerned. -Stormy ________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Brake Fires and HYD Fluid
Date: Oct 06, 2004
Someone had a brake fire that started after an overheated caliper leaked fluid on a hot disk. The fluid flashed and lit the resin in the fiberglass wheel pant, as well as the tire sidewall. The brake worked fine, with only slightly higher pedal pressure required even when on fire. Why did the seal leak at some temperature well below a failure temperature for the rest of the brake? And why did the fluid catch fire? It turns out the Cleveland piston seal for the little 30-9 caliper is an ordinary MS28775-218 nitrile o-ring. Nitrile's temperature rating is - 65F to +275 F. Cleveland's tech manual specifies either Mil-H-5606 or Mil-H-83282 as acceptable. Turns out that Mil-H-83282 was created because the military was tired of setting it's airplanes on fire. Mil-H-5606 is the standard red hydraulic fluid, it is a petroleum base, and turns out to have a very low flash point. The Mil-H-83282 is also red, and compatible with 5606 fluid as well as seals created for 5606. However, it is a synthetic, with much higher flash and burn points, and is self-extinguishing when removed from the ignition source. Note the flash points of the two fluids. Aeroshell 41 (Mil-H-5606) is 104 C, which is only 219 F. Aeroshell 31 (Mil-H-83282) is 237 C, or 458 F. A flash point of 219 F means that when a Cleveland caliper seal fails at something above 275, the fluid is already hot enough to light when it hits a hot disk and vaporizes inside the pant. Live and learn. I always assumed standard "mil-spec red brake fluid" was something special. It's not. It's just another one of those "always done it that way" things prevalent with light airplanes. I said all that to say this. Wayne Williams and I are trying to get some of the good stuff, Aeroshell 31 (Mil-H-83282). The problem is we can only get it in lots of 6 gallons. If you are interested in getting some please let me know. Steve Glasgow 704-362-0005 704-281-7884 ________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Stomy's Fall Fly-in: latest developments
I dislike indecisiveness, especially in myself. Yet decisions like this are never easy... I figure if we hold the fly-in as planned Saturday, we might have about 4 planes show up (maybe). The next weekend we might have a different 4 show up. I'm almost the only respondent who said he could make it either weekend :-) Here're the facts: The guy who rents our hayfields just sprinkled turkey litter all over the farm, and it's going to have a pungent smell until the next rain, which is not for awhile. =:O The leaves have just barely begun to show any fall color here. They will peak in about 2 more weeks. I was really getting impatient to have a get-together this weekend, but I'm up for it either time. --- The only solutions seem to be to have no fly-in at all, or have two on successive weekends. Let's do the Solomon thing and "cut the baby in half," thus: the real Fall Fly-In will be NEXT Saturday, October 16th. We will be hangin' out here THIS Saturday, the 9th, with the welcome mat out for anyone who wants to drop in for a real informal time, including some victuals. This way I (hopefully) still get to visit with Leggs, whereas maybe Smoozer and some of the Ohio Valley Boys can make it the following Saturday. My family may shoot me for doing this twice in a row, but - hey, I love airplanes, airplane people, and socials :-) So there it is; you are ALL invited BOTH times, and I will quit worrying about who can come when. Like the guy says, we'll keep the light on for ya. No skin off my nose if nobody shows either weekend; I _love_ shrimp on the grill; more for me :-) Let's say 2 pm both days, finishing by 5:30. Unicom will be 122.85 and navigational data is listed on AirNav.com under "12VA." -Stormy ________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Soft feild handling question for RV-6A
Date: Oct 09, 2004
Is there any problems landing a RV-6A, or traildragger for that matter, on turf? I have an opportunity to buy a RV-6A with all major subcomponent construction complete, i.e., the wings are ready for mounting, ailerons and flaps are complete. It still needs interior, instrument panel and FWF. It would be based out central PA on a 3000 foot grass strip. It's not the roughest field I've ever landed on but it does have some bumps. I've been told that the RV crowd in PA doesn't like the feild because of problems with wheel pants getting torn off. Can yins (that PA talk - means y'all) confirm or deny this vicious rumor? ________________________________________________________________________________

John, It may depend on which model wheel pants the aircraft has. The older RV-6s had wheel pants that provided a bit more clearance that the newer "Pressure Recovery" types. I have operated my RV-6a with the older wheel pants out of some fairly rough grass/dirt strips with no problem (thus far).

The only times I've sustained wheelpant damage on the RV have been in chuck-holes, ditches and other unmarked hazards, and on a rough runway that wasn't even seeded yet. I don't know what I was thinking that day going in there, but there was peer pressure being applied... Oh, yeah, there was the time I flew in too-deep snow off my own strip, and the time I brought it in for touchdown with a flat nosewheel tire that I was unaware of. In all, it's hard to blame a strip that's only moderately bumpy for damage. For the mnost part, it's the pilot's smoothness, not the sod's, that influences the outcome. -Stormy ________________________________________________________________________________

We have several guys that live on grass strips that can answer better than me ... but I have landed my 8A on grass strips on many ocassions. I always baby my nose gear whether it is on pavement or grass ... thats the way Mike Seager taught me. I lift the nose as soon as it will come up then hold it off the runway until the plane wants to fly off ... kinda like a soft field takeoff except I don't force the plane off the ground early ... On landing I hold the nose off the ground as long as it will stay off. I find the most harsh time for the fairings is on rollout if you are going too fast and also taxiing too fast. I am sure Stormy, Wayne8, and some of the other guys that live on grass strips will chime in !! Len Leggette, RV-8A Greensboro, N.C.

You raise some valid points, Bob. The YE program is still in effect as far as I know. However, the most recent rides I gave were to college students, no parents around, without any forms signed, and even these may be out of bounds for YE eligibility by virtue of their age. There does come a time where you have to decide not to let "reality" impede too much on the freedom you wish you had to live and fly as a free man ;-) and at that point I just throw caution to the wind and take folks up for their long-awaited plane ride. Their smiles make it seem worthwhile (and the squeals from the girls during the rolls :-) I had an eight year old wink at me in church yesterday, and I know it's because I took her for a plane ride last week; her parents say she hasn't stopped talking about it since! I know there are legions of John Edwardses out there just waiting for the next ambulance to chase, but you can't let those @$$holes run your life (well, you can, but that's a conscious choice, and everyone will have their own comfort level in that area.) In short, I'm doing what I want, as reasonably as seems right, and hoping I continue to get away with it, liability-wise. I try never to cut corners with anything safety-related. At this stage, general aviation needs all the allies it can get, and the more people we introduce to our passtime, the better. It's alot like taking a hoplophobe to the shooting range; prejudices can be overcome in one fun afternoon. I continue to believe the risks are worth the return. -Stormy ________________________________________________________________________________

True. The radius of this 50 mile circle can be covered very quickly!

Len, Stormy and guys, Great response Stormy........ The YE program is still in effect and growing. The age is 7 to 17 . the EAA has the forms they will send you for free, you just have to email and ask for some....I ordered 5 just to get some and see what they looked like. It is a release that must be signed by a guardian. as well the name and address for the files at EAA for the offical head counts. We agree with your logic.....or at least I do. I don't want to be "insurance poor" or let it affect the reason I fly....I truly believe half the fun of flying is introducing it to non flyers as evident by the number of times I fly solo to just fly.....hardly any! of course now I love to fly in pairs and that even tops giving rides, but I digress from the subject..... Our situation is a little different as Tripp and I are partners and anything one does, the other will be dragged into by the ownership thing.......so we are looking at the whole thing with that in mind. One solution was to only give rides to family and Young Eagles in the RV and rent a spam can for all others. But that brings up the RV guys and prospective builders and such..... We would like to make a release that we could get people outside the family and young eagles read and sign. One that would tell them what they are about to do.....relating to the Expermental Catagory, etc...and that they agree to accept the 100,000 limit for .........well lets hope nothing, but it would make them think as well........I doubt anything we write up would ever stand up in court, but it would raise awareness levels. Any ideas or information along this line would be appreaciated. This is an important topic, not to be dwelled on but brought up now and then to help us make the right decisions from time to time........

Subject: MP Problems Solved
The great mystery of my "slow" plane has been solved thanks to all on the different RV list. It seems I was getting a very high MP reading everytime I compared with someone else .... my Rky Mtn uMonitor was reading high ... not their fault but mine !!! I did not calibrate the unit correctly .... I was reading 4" too high !!! Or to put another way I was flying 4" lower setting than everyone else ... that is giving up a lot of MP !! But on the good side ... I have discovered additional speed with no mods !!!! Len Leggette, RV-8A Greensboro, N.C. N910LL 280 hrs AND GETTING FASTER !!!!! ________________________________________________________________________________
