The filter was actually in good shape. I got it back together and went to start it up to check things after oil change, and Lo, I had left the master on couple days. It wouldnt turn over but was not completly dead due to having sep swt for every thing. I hooked up to car and charged it up and it started ok. I put on the Alternator filter and it didnt make any diff on radio noise. Charlie Wish I could be some help on the radio noise but I can promise you ... you don't want me doing your electrical work !!!

I'll take two. A line from "Silverado" comes to mind... BTW, I got my RV-8 about two weeks ago, but it is still in Beckley WV due to a death in the family and some electrical trouble that took awhile to find. I flew it for about 4 hours last weekend locally, though, and it flies like a dream. After changing the battery (which was fried when it hit the runway at BKW), the alternator, and the voltage regulator, it would (still) give either high voltage, no voltage, or perfect voltage, all at random intermittent times. Finally turned out to be what the mechanic said was a field wire connection that hadn't been crimped properly and wasn't accessible without moving some aluminum out of the way. Anyway, if all goes well I will go get it Friday and bring it to Salisbury at least temporarily. Not sure where it's final base will be. Hope to see you all soon.

The 6A I just got has no rotating beacon nor strobes. I think beacon at least might be a legal requirment as all cert aircr have them. Question is, who has retrofitted what?

A light on top of the VS might be annoying shining over your shoulder in the cockpit, unless your block the light in that direction. You can save some money if you go with strobes by getting a "non-aviation" power supply, like these: http://strobeguy.safeshopper.com/1/cat1.htm?240 Mine has been working well so far. I'm not sure I've seen an RV with a rotating beacon. Doesn't mean it can't be done........ Cheers, - Larry Bowen, RV-8, 27.5 Hrs.

We work so hard at putting in flush rivets and trying to keep everything so clean on the plane. To put a beacon on would seem to be the opposite of that. I put on wingtip strobes as well as a tail strobe that fits into the fiberglass cap on the bottom of the rudder. I have flown behind several RVs with the tail strobe and it is really visible.

Date: Nov 24, 2004
I've fit the wheel pants per the plans, with the plane in level attitude. When I set the tail back down, I have what seems to be very little clearence between the ground and the aft half of the fairing. The aft corner is only 1.6" above the ground, and there is maybe .75" clearance near the tire. Will this survive a firm landing or an unkept grass strip? I guess raising the fairing higher than the 1" above the top of the tire is the answer.

Larry, My fairings may have a bit more ground clearance than yours, but I wouldn't want them any lower than they are. I've been on some fairly rough strips, and have beat them up, but haven't lost them (yet). I've scraped them up a bit taxiing off paved runways onto the grass parking areas at flyins. You can walk down to my hangar and look at them anytime.

Subject: Wheel Pants (Tailwheel)

Larry, We followed the plans like you did and came up with the same results. We were replacing the original pants on your -6's for upgrading purposes. We have come to realize the original design was better for grass strips, etc Larry and I were looking for the newer looks and more speed as usual but didn't know we were giving up some utility as we hadn't heard orther guys speak of it. We started with 1/2" space around the tire and found we had to enlarge this where the tire bulges from low air or heaven forbid a bounced landing. When we replaced tires we went to the air stop tubes and now keep the air pressure about 35+ and watch it a little more...... Like Dana said we watch the step downs at the edge of the pavements a little closer too. When we land at grass strips(mostly, Stormy's) we don't seem to have any problems. My opinion is the design is fine for normal flying and landing but could get hurt in odd taxi or bounced landings. The plus side is the fiberglass is easy to fix.....:-) I hate admit this but I will.....We used the Stainless Steel brackets instead of the Alum ones vans supplied and before we painted them, he had a bad bounced landing that broke the bottom rear half of the pant....actually a small tear, easy to repair. but it also bend the SS bracket and when it bent, it rubbed the brake disc. The fix was pretty easy as we disassembled it and straightened it out and fixed the fiberglass....and yes, enlarged the gap between the tire and pant. Now we think about our pants on every landing. It is amazing as I have come to learn to fly this taildragger, I first thought about the tail while landing, then in crosswinds I thought about the wingtips while landing, and now I feel I have progressed to only thinking about the wheel pants while landing....I think I'm improving....:-) Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Hi Gang, Happy Thanksgiving!! Wayne asked me about changing my O360 fixed pitch over to a Hartzell C/S. I replied to him directly but thought a few of you may interested in the change over as well. Rick in Ohio at the Buffalo Farm - read on: Hi Wayne, Transition went fine. After I did mine another member of our group changed his over and yet another has a C/S on order as we speak and will make the change as soon as his prop arrives. Here's a list of parts you'll need: -new prop -governor -governor adapter - Aerosport Power -governor gear drive - Aerosport Power -governor to engine - oil supply line - Aerosport Power -all fittings and gaskets for the governor and supply line - Aerosport Power -governor control bracket - Vans -vernier cable - Vans -new rear crank plug - Aerosport Power -tool to install the new rear crank plug - I have one -new spinner - Vans -new bulkheads for the spinner - Vans -new doubler plate for the rear bulkhead - Vans -firewall pass through grommets - local or look in your toolbox or buy from Vans Don't forget, this is a MAJOR CHANGE and will require some FAA paperwork. Mine was easy, just had to make the entries in my logs and fly off 5 hours with no passengers in my phase 1 area. Also you'll need some clean towels.....to wipe the grin off your face after your 1st flight....ha ha. Took me 7 days but a lot of that was making a new spinner with no visable screws in it.

Wayne, Overhauled Hartzell C/S and Woodward governor was $3,800 total plus a few bucks shipping from US Propellers in NC. Flexible oil line $100 Vernier prop control cable ~$50 Control cable bracket ~$12 Misc stuff ~$10 Less $1,500 AND a Vans spinner kit for my Warnke wood prop that I sold to offset the cost. Total out of pocket ~$2,472 Not bad for a Zero time C/S Hartzell : ). And a GREAT addition to my RV....especially for formation flying. Kinda' like having a 'brake pedal' on the floor : ). Also, power is RIGHT THERE when you need it. And....I get about 7-8 mph on the top end....although it seems to use about a half gallon an hour of fuel more than the wood prop at cruise.....(now I'm up to about 8.7/hr) but.....I'm going faster so it's a trade off.

Bob, How much tire clearance did you end up with on your pants? Ron Schreck RV-8, Gold Hill Airpark >>>Larry and I were looking for the newer looks and more speed as usual but didn't know we were giving up some utility as we hadn't heard orther guys speak of it. We started with 1/2" space around the tire and found we had to enlarge this where the tire bulges from low air or heaven forbid a bounced landing. ________________________________________________________________________________

Ron, The 1/2 is and was enough in front and rear where the tire doesn't get larger but where it bulges we probably got close to 3/4"....that, with new vigilance on the tire pressure which is helped by the air-stop tubes....... I never thought about raising the pant, like larry is proposing. I read one report where a builder even lowered his for more tire coverage. Looking at the tire from the air, in flight, there seems to be plenty showing. One builder told me his didn't come with the rear bulkhead in the back half, and he taxied on gravel one time and it acted like a scoop.....the rear bulkhead seems important to the overall strength of the complete assembly and don't forget the drain hole for the space behind the bulkhead. as a note here...I reinforced the mounting screw hole areas with a few extra layers of fiberglass cloth about 2 inches square. I also made sure the lower tire opening edges were nice and round so not to cut the tire if it did touch. While on the subject, I used a trick to find the holes to drill into the nutplates once I had perfect alignment......I made a little crude wiring harness with xmas tree lights.....from the LOWES aviation electrical dept. and taped then behind the nutplate so I could see the hole perfectly. Also.....I used Flox (epoxy and floxed cotton) as a filler under the axle bracket to fill the gap between the bracket and the pant. Once it cured, I then added the rivets thru the assembly for a good strong connection. Happy Building Bob Martin, Louisa County, Va....

I have the same problem. This morning I saw 138 oil temp on a 30 min flight to FAY. Why doesn't the vernatherm work to get oil temps up to where they should be? I thought that oil wasn't supposed to flow to the cooler until it reaches the temp specified on the vernatherm. Seems like that ought to eliminate having to block off the cooler. What don't I understand about what's happening here?

Well Len, Ken and I got a little flying in this afternoon too. Was up LATE (in the cold) finishing up a marker beacon receiver install as part of the IFR upgrade of "Papa Juliette". Then the *replacement* STROBE assembly arrived so that got installed as well. Was still clear and smooth so we did a bit of formation practice ... boy was I rusty from no practice for a week or two. Then on to do some practice ILS approaches at KCAE. All seems to work except I need to get the volume cranked up a bit on the RCVR and the blue light was hard to see in the BRIGHT sunlight. But then again that should not be a problem. :-) We gotta get the "formation" members of this gang together somewhere for some formation practice.

Well ... Weather was not great again. We waited until it was VFR (forward viz OK, ceilings slow to lift/burn off) and flew down as a flight of two.

It was a good day to be up. 3.9 hours today and 31.4 total now....... - Larry Bowen Larry(at)BowenAero.com That's a lot of time in the saddle, Larry. Especially on a 50 nm leash. Good going. I hope it is all productive and routine. I managed to log time all three days this weekend; I'm up over 450 hrs now. Woo-hoo! I think I need to get the prop balanced; engine feels rougher than I remember it. Not affected by mixture or carb heat, and EGT's and CHT's are all nominal. Maybe my elastomeric mounts have bottomed out or something. Also noticed the runway was really mushy today after last night's rain. I hit a section of grass on my takeoff roll that felt like flypaper; wasn't sure I was going to be able to unstick it and pull it off. Len, you can come visit now; we sold the last of the ten puppies, so the coast is clear.

Yes, this 50 nm circle is very small in an RV. I'm glad the end is in sight. I still have a couple things to do: loading more weight in the back to see how that feels, spins, etc. I practiced x-winds and spins in the Decathlon today. The fantastic visibility makes it all the more fun........ I'm a little concerned about the Barrows Special Edition engine, it's still burning almost a qt per five hours.

Larry if you don't mind me asking - who did you get to balance your prop - I presume you are talking about dynamic balancing of the prop on the engine. I have a new 76x88 wooden prop that I will want to get dynamically balanced in the near future.

H & H prop at Burlington (BUY). It cost $65 for them to tell me it was already in balance (0.15 IPS, anything less than 0.2 is considered in balance). They said we can try to get it even better, but the price goes up to $250 if they start adding "wieghts". I was already planning on spending the $250, so I told him to go ahead. So they added the $185 wieght to the flywheel (looked a lot like a bolt and washer to me.) and got it down to 0.05 IPS. It took less than an hour to do. - Larry Bowen Larry(at)BowenAero.com http://BowenAero.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Ed Anderson [mailto:eanderson(at)carolina.rr.com] > Sent: Sunday, November 28, 2004 7:19 PM > To: rvsoutheast-list(at)matronics.com > Subject: Re: RVSouthEast-List: Flying Friday > > --> > > Larry if you don't mind me asking - who did you get to > balance your prop - I presume you are talking about dynamic > balancing of the prop on the engine. > I have a new 76x88 wooden prop that I will want to get > dynamically balanced in the near future. > > > Thanks > > Ed Anderson > eanderson(at)carolina.rr.com > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Larry Bowen" <Larry(at)bowenaero.com> > To: > Subject: RE: RVSouthEast-List: Flying Friday > > > > > > > Yes, this 50 nm circle is very small in an RV.

In really cold weather the oil temp would barely get over 100 degrees on my 0-320. I built a sliding door to block airflow through the oil cooler that operates from the cockpit. I usually start every flight with it closed to speed warm up and then open as temp passes 160. In the winter I sometimes never have to open it. The door is on the down stream (warm) side of the cooler so some cold air is always around or seeping through cooler.

The maintenance manuals I've read on the subject suggest 165 is needed to rid the oil of residuals. Mine always runs down in the 140s so I intentionally setup a high power low airspeed climb to heat things up a bit for each flight, then combine with more frequent oil changes. This is my non-material solution. I like the oil cooler door idea however. Rique J.

Several of us are planning to go down for the weekend ... all are welcome to join up. We are flying down on Friday morning January 14th ... camping on the Sun N Fun site and heading home on Sunday. Len I thought they were , too. I just received email today and they are not able to make it for 2005. Sun n Fun will update their web page asap.

What kind of fuel burn are you guys showing per hour? I am trying to calibrate my Rocky Mtn uMonitor for fuel flow and fuel remaining ... my EI fuel gauge is calibrated and very accurate. I have never tried to get the fuel flow calibrated .. but on that quest now. I flew 2.9 hours since the last fill up ...took 20.2 gallons to fill back up ... I have to be burning more than 7 gallons per hour .... I think the timer/hobbs on the uMonitor might be off ... I am going to compare to the timer on the GPS but I don't think they will agree since the uMonitor works off rpm for timing .. Len Leggette, RV-8A Greensboro, N.C.

Len, I'm sure the Lycomings are burning the normal 10-13 gph....... but we track the hobbs meter in a notebook to log time and oil usage, etc and we only show about 7 gph ....based on hobbs reading......... so the taxi, cruise and desent must really offset the takeoff and climb rates. What ever it is.........I like it!!!!!!! Cause thats whats comes out of my checkbook per hour logged!

IMHO the fuel burn must be calculated using the EIS time on engine in my case this is set to 1500 RPM. If I'm on a X-country when I'm always above 1500 RPM I get around 8-9.5, If I'm doing a lot of pattern work I get less than 7.

N910LL >288 hrs > Hi Len, A couple of things might be conspiring to confuse the issue. If you did numerous takeoff/landings, your burn will be much lower than at cruise because you are in the pattern at reduced power much longer that you are at full power for climb (except for a long climb for high altitude cross country, of course). Also, most people don't run at anywhere near 75% power at cruise. I've flown 160hp engines in 3 different homebuilts + 1 factory plane & they all burned around 9gph when flown at 75%. One of them was injected with a c/s prop & when run at 2400rpm up at 8000', it only burned around 7.3gph (but that ain't 75% power). I've had 1 180hp c/s prop & it burned 10gph. All had much lower burn numbers when there were a lot of t/o & landings on a tank of gas, often as low as 6.5-7.5gph. Check the Lyc Manual to see what 75% power settings really are (most people are shocked). Fill both tanks, take off on one & climb to ~8,000', lean for cruise operation & set cruise power. Start a timer (or look at your watch) & switch tanks. Fly for say, 1/2 hour without changing altitude, throttle or rpm settings & switch back to the other tank. Return to the airport & top off the 'cruise' tank. Now do the math & you know your real 75% cruise fuel burn. Should be around .45*actual hp/6. For a 160, 9gph; for a 180, 10gph. Slightly better if injected and/or electronic ignition. Don't know about the uMonitor, but a mechanical tach's hour meter is definitely affected by rpm.

Imagine flying ball and needle at warp 10. I've met Dick Rutan, Burt's older brother who flew the Voyager around the world without refueling. Dick flew F-100's in Viet=20 Nam and is a typical fighter pilot, "You can tell he's a fighter pilot, but you can't tell him much." Subject: Mike Melville - SpaceShipOne--Non FAC Subject: Mike Melville He gave a 45 minute presentation to the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association conference in Long Beach on Thursday, and got a several-minute standing ovation. Since he was speaking to pilots, he didn't have to translate for the "general public" or pull many punches. He spent almost half of his time going over the flight controls and the entire cockpit layout inside of SpaceShipOne, explaining how it is flown. I think this is the first time this has been explained publicly in such detail, and it was amazing. There are actually four separate flight regimes, and each is flown differently. Just after launch, it flies like a piper cub, using a joystick and rudder pedals with mechanical linkages to the controls (no hydraulic assists). When it goes supersonic, the aerodynamic forces are too high to be able to move the stick, and the controls are subject to flutter. So they use an electrically powered trim system, flown using the "top hat" switch on the joystick and a couple of grips on the arm rest of the pilot's seat. (There are backup switches to the left of the instrument panel, which had to be used on one flight.) This moves the entire horizontal stabilizers, not just the elevons on the trailing edges. Eventually, they get high enough and the air gets thin enough that they can again use manual controls, although the response is totally different than lower down. But that goes away as they exit the atmosphere; the Reaction Control System nozzles are then used for maneuvering in space. Coming back down, the pilot has to reverse the sequence. There is no automated switchover of control systems; the pilot has to remember to move from one system to the next at the right times. The rudder pedals are not linked. Each controls one of the two vertical stabilizer rudders separately. You can push both rudder pedals at the same time, and get a fairly effective speed brake, with both rudders canted outward. Push both fully forward and they engage the wheel brakes. But these are not very effective and are only really useful for steering input during rollout. The real brake is on the nose skid: a piece of maple wood, with the grain aligned down the centerline of the airplane. He said it was the most effective braking material they could find. Stephen, we talked about G forces on Tuesday, and I got some of it wrong.=20 He says that he gets hit with about 3Gs kicking him backwards as soon as he lights the rocket motor. He's supersonic within about 9 seconds later. But he immediately starts to pull up into an almost vertical climb. So he also gets over 4.3Gs pushing him down into his seat just from that maneuver. The combined force is "very stressful" and Mike says it's "important not to black out" at that point. He's going 1880 knots straight up within 70 seconds. On re-entry, the aircraft goes from being absolutely silent while in space to generating a deafening roar as it hits the atmosphere again. He's going about Mach 3.2 by that time, and has to survive about 5.5Gs for over=2030 seconds, and lesser G forces for longer than that, as it slows back down.=20 It sounds really intense, both as he explains it and on the radio. A couple of interesting side notes: SpaceShipOne has a standard "N" registration number; but it is licensed as an experimental "glider". Apparently there was a huge bureaucratic hassle trying to license it as a rocket powered spacecraft, which they just sidestepped by calling it a glider. I asked him if it had a yaw string; he laughed and said that would have burned off. By the way, the registration number is N328KF, where 328K is the number of Feet in 100km. (White Knight is N318SL - Burt Rutan's 318th design.) Mike says that the flight director system (called a TINU) was developed completely in-house by a couple of 28-year-old programmers, and is absolutely fantastic to fly. That's why they don't need a yaw string. But I had heard over the radio that Brian Binnie had re-booted the TINU just before the landing approach during the X2 flight, and it took quite a while for it to come back up. So I asked Mike what that was about. He says that during re-entry, the TINU loses its GPS lock. So it keeps trying to go back to catch up, re-interpolate and compensate for the missing data, and this keeps it a little behind in its actual position calculations. The pilot has no straight-ahead vision at all, so they have a real issue landing: they can't see the runway! The way they do it is to fly directly down the runway at 9000 feet; then they do a (military style) break and fly a full 360 degree pattern right to the landing. The TINU gives the pilot a "blue line" to follow and a target airspeed (which produces a given rate of descent). If the pilot follows the blue line, right to the break point and through the two 180 degree turns, it will put him right onto the runway at what ever touchdown point he selects. But the TINU has to be absolutely current when this is going on. So at something above 15,000 feet they reboot the TINU and get it re-synched with the GPS satellites again before setting up for the landing! He also talked in detail about the rocket motor, and had photos of its insides after firing. The nozzle throat actually ablates as the motor burns, enlarging the interior throat diameter as the burn progresses. He described the problem they had on the June 21 flight: The rocket motor nozzle was skewed by about =BD degree to one side. This generated a surprisingly high lateral torque trying to turn the aircraft. If it had been up or down pitch rather than lateral, the controls could have handled it; but the lateral yawing forces were too great for Mike to compensate as the atmosphere thinned. The result was that he was pretty far off course. Mike says he reached apogee, rolled the spacecraft over, and was surprised to see the Palmdale VOR directly beneath him. That was 30 miles away from Mojave and a long glide home. He says its amazing how fast a relatively small deviation can produce large distances when you're going Mach 3! For one of the static burn tests, they had fire and safety crews all standing a mile away, ready to duck if anything went wrong. In the middle of the test, Mike and Burt Rutan walked up to the front of the motor assembly and felt the pressure vessel that contains the N2O. Mike knew he was going to have this same thing strapped onto his back soon, anyway, and he wanted to know how much it vibrated, how hot it got, and how loud it was. It was deafening, literally. It turns out that, with the nozzles they use at high altitudes, it's actually not that noisy inside the spacecraft. But he still wears hearing protection. Scaled Composites seem to have fabricated quite a bit of the rocket motor themselves, including the N2O tank (which is also the structural core of the spacecraft) and the nozzle casings.

Thanks Wayne.. it's these considerations I'm looking for. Just to clarify V vs. Y type: This is Y-type: http://www.crowenterprizes.com./PAGE%20IMAGES/11125.jpg V-type is basically the same, except that the shoulder harnesses meet all the way in the back (near or at) the bolt-in hardware into a single attach point. Not sure if this would work: http://www.crowenterprizes.com./PAGE%20IMAGES/11104.jpg (it might, if those two harness attach points can be sandwitched together into Van's harness cable)... These guys couldn't tell me how thick exactly the hardware is... they said "around 0.0900.. so theoretically, might work as cable attach bracket is 3/16") PS. I'm really after an affordable rotary latch system... :) Thanks!

The clinic would be the same GREAT FORMAT that Team RV has provided in the past. The training format that Team RV utilizes has proven to be VERY SAFE and VERY EFFECTIVE for the newbies, intermediates, as well as the seasoned formation pilots. -Location will be the Mid Ohio Valley Airport - otherwise known as PKB (my home airport) -3 day clinic, arrive Friday-ground school in the early evening, 2 & 3 ship formations all day Saturday with newbies in the right/back seats of qualified Flight Leads/Wingmen then switching to their planes, followed by an 'all up' formation for those qualified on Sunday. -overnight accomodations at local hotel(s) -breakfast/lunch at the airport each day, dinner out on the town with all your RV buds -fuel discount at PKB -hangar discount (where available) -possibility of FFI checkrides (need to confirm this with Stu McCurdy- Falcon Flight), of course prior arrangements/recommendations would take place -new formation pilots MUST attend the ground school to fly and MUST have all appropriate training manuals....no exeptions....same as last year. -Date TBD - we don't want to conflict with Sun 'n Fun...we're looking at April 1,2,3 April 29,30,31 and May 6,7,8 right now. Last year we had 51 folks and 38 RV's registered. But.....before we go too far.....Kahuna and I need to know how much interest we have in our area this year. Please reply right here or to my home email if you're SERIOUS about attending your first....or another NO NONSENSE Team RV Formation Clinic hosted by the Ohio Valley RVators at PKB.

They are not offering the clinic in Lakeland in January as they did last year so the next opportunity will be at PKB (Parkersburg, WV) with the Ohio Valley RVators ... Rick Gray's group. I posted the email from Rick on SERV this week. I don't know if any of you get the Ohio groups emails ... I am on their list and will forward to Rick any responses of interest you guys have. I told him I would like to attend. I also forwarded Paul Franzon's interest. The event is going to happen sometime around late April ... no date has been set yet.

Hey Stormy, Larry and I flew over Hop a Long and tried to get you up on Button One saturday about 3:30 or so. So didn't see any activity on the strip so we stayed at 8500. The air was smooth and was a good time for some formation practice. We figured you were off playing with the other guys so we headed over to Hot Springs for a look see at the approach end drop off and then flew over and landed at Farmville, Va. after chatting with some locals and noticing the sun was about to set.....we launched off for home at louisa. We had a nice tailwind and the bumps were light enough that we could keep the 190 kt cruise speed up to the pattern entry. As the #2 man in the Gaggle I did a 360 on downwind for spacing and we both made nice landing with the evenings calm winds and setting sun, well....pretty well set by then. 2.1 on the hobbs...smile.... Heading out again today to try to get a few more hours in before the week begins again, catch you next time. Hope you guys had a good time as well.

Dennis and Lori Milsap. Wayne8A was lead for the flight of 4 ....Stormy (#3) and I (#2) exchanged wing wax with Wayne8A (lead) ... Larry (#4) getting it all on video !! Absolutely perfectly smooth !!! Just beautiful !! Landed at PGV .....there on the field waiting is Dennis with his 6A gassed up and ready to fly ... we pick up my son and his roomate for the now flight of 5 over to Farmville, NC (N08) ... home base for Dennis. Nice grass strip with no taxiways ... so we had several passes with lead breaking off on each pass .. landing ...taxiiing out of the way. All down safely !! It was my son's roomate's first flight so Wayne8A pulled hard on the break to give him the ole RV grin !!! "Whoa ...That was cool" if I am quoting correctly !!! Off we went to the Milsap home for a fantastic lunch ... all prepared by Lori and the daughters !! We were treated like Kings !!! Out to the workshop to check out the RV-10 that Dennis has under construction ... big ... I mean BIG airplane !! Upon dropping the kids off back at school in Greenville ... we heard over the radio a Seneca that could not get the gear down ... calling for fire trucks, etc for a belly landing ...they were discussing all the options over the radio .. one of the more radical ideas was having a 172 fly close to the Seneca and use the wing to bump the gear down ... I started questioning IQs on that one ... but the pilot quickly nixed that idea. Don't know what the final outcome was ... I called my son on Sunday and he said there was nothing on the news or in the paper about it .. hopefully they got down safely. Thanks again to Dennis, Lori, and the girls for a wonderful lunch and great hospitality!!! Thanks also to all the participants ... it was a fun afternoon flying and seeing everyone.

Hey guys, Would anyone happen to know the length of the seat belts/shoulder harness? I'm primarily interested in the required length of the shoulder harness - approx mid-chest to the bolt-in point (steel wire attach point). Hopefully someone still building (but ahead of me) would be able to take that measurement, if it wouldn't be too much trouble. PS.. It's for a -7A Thanks!

Now on Van's site: http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/flights.htm First time builders, Ron and Kandy Murray our proud to announce that the first flight of their RV-9A, N937RK, serial number 90291, occurred on December 3, 2004 (12-3-4). It flew from Lake Norman Airpark, NC with 26,000 hour test pilot, Van Lawless at the controls. It was a beautiful flight with over 20 fellow builders and neighbors watching. The 30 minute flight was uneventful with only a slight heavy left wing reported. The airplane is complete with full paint and basic interior. It took us 3 years and 8 months to build the "slow build" for a total construction time of 2,568 hours. The airplane is equipped with an Aero Sport Power O-320-D2A engine, turning a 70 by 80 Sensenich fixed pitch prop. The panel is equipped with full IFR gyros, an AOA, a full complement of Electronics International instruments, King KMD-150 color multiple function display, ICOM com, and Garmin transponder. The airplane in full dress weighed in at 1106 pounds. Many thanks go to Andy Moscarelli our EAA technical advisor, Van Lawless our test pilot, our neighbors at Lake Norman Airpark, and our local EAA Chapter 309 for assistance and counsel. Most importantly, our gratitude and appreciation to Van's Aircraft who made it all possible.

Subject: shoulder harness
Date: Dec 09, 2004
I do some racing with a Miata I have and it is interesting to see what the SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) has to say on this issue. For road racing they require 3" certified belts. The shoulder harness has to have two separate straps, no Y belts allowed (anymore) and they are moving towards requiring all sub-straps be inverted V's, with two attachment points. If any of you want to know what happens in the event of an accident to your internal organs when using a harness without the sub-strap, email and I'll let you know. It ain't pretty. Needless to say, USE that sub-strap. Oh, and the belts expire so you have to replace them every so often as they loose about 50% of their effectiveness after five years. I'm using Willans camloc harnesses in the car and will probably do the same in the -9. (http://www.bethania-garage.com/willans_cam3.htm) You can pick up expired belts at Muscle Motor Sports, purveyors of fine, used NASCAR parts, here in Huntersville and have them "re-webbed" by a parachute rigger. Unfortunately, you can't do that in racing because you need the certification/expiration tag.

Len, Larry, May not make it tomorrow, spent a frustrating day trying to fix a fuel leak unsuccessfully. Had to take the manifold off each time to get to the leaking fitting. Would think I had fixed it and turn on the EFI high pressure pumps - no leaks. Place the manifold back on and run the engine and it would begin to leak. Did this three times thinking it was a fitting going to my fuel rail. It looks like instead its the hose fitting that screws onto the fuel rail fitting. Of course, by the time I realized that all the auto stores where I might get hose were closed. Will see if I have some hose at the shop and may try to see if I can get it fixed early enough to join you folks. If not, have a great gathering.

Well, got airborne after fixing fuel leak. However, power was not what it should be (probably my new homemade muffler is still too restrictive), so flew down to Stantons anyhow, but never found it.

Well, why didn't someone yell or wave {:>)?. I looked and looked, looked for Red Restaurant bld, looked for runway, looked for airplanes on ground, looked for airplanes in the air. Actually, I figured I was in the vicinity and could have called on radio and asked if anyone heard me - but, eventually decided that I didn't want to go into a grass strip with my reduced power - would have probably been OK. But, "probably" is not good enough. If anyone has precise GPS coordinates, down to the 0.xxx, I would like to get it from you.

Great time today at our "little gathering"! Twelve (I *think*) RV's that LANDED. Some that either didn't find it or otherewise chose not to land and Len you thought there would be only THREE planes!! Ha! We sure surprised you on that one didn't we. Next time. We might even do better. Would you believe Ken and I had just left a SC Breakfast Club fly-in at the Darlington Speedway??? So we had a VERY early start. :-) Fortunately it was "along the way". I tried to get a shot of every plane that arrived but I think I missed the RV6A that arrived after we went inside. They are not great shots but if someone wants one at full rez, let me know. To whosoever took it, I really like the shot of me in "Papa Juliette" landing with the trees in the background. Would like to have a "hi-rez" version sent to me at: james(at)nextupventures.com if at all possible. And the formation practice was a nice finishing touch. You could tell that Bill was getting better by the MINUTE!! (Being ex-military helps it seems :-) ) In one of the shots you get to see that "magic moment" when there was symmetry and stability. Doesn't have to be so close ... just symmetric and stable. LOOKED GREAT Bill. I suspect your passenger/photographer (Robert) was having a good time too. I look forward to more gatherings and more formation PRACTICE. Thanks!! James ________________________________________________________________________________

SERV: What a wonderful turnout !!! Who cares if we don't get answers on email ... just great seeing everyone show up. Lots of talk and interest in trying to set up a regular monthly meeting and place so .... drumroll ..... first Saturday of each month at Stantons . Now that does not mean it is Stantons and only Stantons but it will be nice to establish a place and time that we don't have to worry about planning all the details !! I think we should also move the time back for the winter to 11:00am. That way we can have some fun flying afterwards without everyone having to hurry back home. We will always have Sunday as the rain date ... if it has to get moved to Sunday .. time will be 1:00pm allowing for church. We will get it posted to the calendar. Larry may also be able to add something to the front page of the website ... we meet the first Saturday of each month at Stantons at 11:00am. As other interesting places come up ... we will change the meeting place for that month. Just as with most organizations that you may be a part of ... you won't make every meeting ... but ... you now have a regular scheduled time and place where you can meet up with some SERV guys !!

Ya know, I was thinking. If we do that, some of those pictures on the wall back there should be RVs!!!! Maybe if we show up as such a group with a few 8x10's they might put some on the wall. I just remember sitting there thinking that I bet no other group flies in and fills up that room.

James, what do you think about doing BBQ at your place on 1-8 instead...we could talk formation basics w/ anyone interested in hearing about it and then go do some . Any newbees could fly behind like M. Barbee did to see if their interest is real. It probably helps to get some feedback from others to encourage competant pilots w/ no formation experience to take the next step. This clear cool weather is great for this. remember, summer means haze and thermals. bill...any others who would like to comment pls. step up... --- "James E.

Andre M Robert. RV6 , 718AM 42 hrs at shiloh any info would be greatly appreciated The most popular right now is probably TruTrak but I have the Tro EZ Pilot and love it. I use the Garmin 295 handheld coupled to the EZ Pilot and it flies beautifully. Will fly the heading , course, intersect the course ..etc. Also, one of the best bargains out there on autopilots right now. Len Leggette, RV-8A Greensboro, N.C.

Congratulations to Dale Ensing! This morning at around 9:30 AM Dale and N118DA took to the sky for a perfect 40 minute flight. The flight was from Aero Plantation to Monroe. The first post flight with the cowl off found no defects. Having seen his face, I can tell you, Dale really knows what the RV grin is all about!
