--> Europa-List message posted by: "Richard" <riddon@btinternet.com>
I am pleased to report that after finally finding my engine final inspection
check list last night, the 912S in G-RIXS fired up for the first time today,
no problem What a milestone!
I was hoping that Andy would be able to do the test flying from Wombleton
during April but unfortunately he is away having some sun n fun etc.
I am now looking for someone to do the test flying and a venue to fly from.
Ideally not too far from Preston. (Blackpool has now become very expensive
at around 13 per landing).
Any suggestions?
My phone no. is 01772 600582
Richard Iddon.

Hi Richard,
congratulations on the completion of your plane. Hope the
test session goes well too. Just wanted to know whether you still have the
snout thats comes with your engine kit.Its allow you to mould the hole in the
lower cowling for the cooling baffle.Please let me know if you haven't used
it.
regards Karim.

| Subject: | Aileron Pushrod Tube Dimensions |
--> Europa-List message posted by: "Rob Housman" <RobH@hyperion-ef.com>
Your 5052 tube is apparently mis-identified on the BOM. This alloy is not
heat treated (nor can it be) so it would not have a -T designation following
the alloy number. 5052 is available as annealed with the designation -O
(the letter, not a zero) and work hardened in -H3 temper, typically in
the -H34 and -H38 variations. The mill that manufactured the tube should
have applied marking along the entire length of the tube that not only
identifies the size and alloy, but the manufacturer's code or name, and
usually also the applicable specification. Of course if you have painted or
powder coated the tube you can not read the marking.
My leftover 1 inch tube is 6061-T6, and the wall thickness is 0.028 inch.
Since my wings are already closed I can not see what is installed but when I
purchased additional tube (you can guess why) I probably did not change from
what the factory supplied. 6061-T6 is much higher strength than 5052-O, and
both have the same Young's Modulus so it would be a good substitute,
something I would have considered if I had made the substitution.
You will find that tube in 6061 alloy is more readily available than 5052
(in the US it is available in home improvement stores) but the price should
be about the same for either alloy. Although your antipodean aviation
authority might not allow it, from an engineering perspective substitution
of 6061 for 5052 is appropriate for this application.
Best regards,

Gidday,
Well it was a day of 3 steps forward and 2 back. I bonded in the port
aileron torque tube in the cockpit module, successfully, and then with my
daughters assistance I measured and cut the port wing's aileron pushrod.
Failure!!!! I cut the bloody thing at the base of the rod end insert, not
its head. Oh, I kicked myself around the workshop with my daugter somewhat
surprised to see me castigate myself as much as I do her from time to time.
Well now the problem is that I have to source another 12' length of this
stuff, but I am unsure of the spec. My bill of materials describes a tube
that I think might be it, but I'm not sure. TU25RM and it also says
5052-TO- .25" X .035. Well the tube is 1" OD with a wall thickness of .035,
so I figure it must be 5052 tubing, but the .25" has got the better of me?
Any clues as to this, or my ultimate question of "what type of aluminium
tubing is the aileron pushrods"????
P.S. I'd really appreciate a score of people telling me how easy it is to
do what I did, as the bill alone will be a sting, and I have a bruised
behind already from my own kicking.

In re: inertia (or inertial, but not interial) reels
The term derives from Newton's concept of inertia, and here refers to the
means by which the mechanism "locks" when subjected to rapid deceleration.
Many aircraft and all late model automotive three point seatbelts employ
this technique to allow freedom of movement unless and until the vehicle
decelerates suddenly.
For a brief description of the product, and how not to install the things go
FAA's guidance on the subject go to
http://www2.faa.gov/avr/afs/news/harness/seatbelt.htm

Ira,
"He is no fan of interial reels either."
Can I ask what 'interial' is? Is that the site of its
base(inside) or a reference to the reel function?
"Also, he thought 3 inches of tempurfoam is not adequate for safely passing
the 19g vertical acceleration test."
I haven't been around to the back to check contours, but I
suspect my posterior would be content with the quality of 1 to 1-1/2 inches
of that expensive cushioning - on top of stiffer underlayers of course. I
wonder what the good perfesser would think of Graham Singleton's
consideration that a fair depth of foam 'worms' a la beanbag principle had
saved his 'bacon' on pranging?
Nervously,
Ferg A064

Greetings All,
Since I've had a few personal queries on the subject, I thought I'd provide
the
direct link to the Advisory Circular on shoulder harness installation:
http://www2.faa.gov/avr/afs/news/harness/AC%2021-34.pdf
There are some points of discussion about the old qualifications which used
static tests at 9 gs with blocks of wood for people in the seat. The
current tests
and standards use anthropometric dummies and higher, dynamic loads, i.e.,
19 Gz for GA type aircraft.
There are some recent restraint videos (sounds kinky!) produced by the
Civilian Aeromedical Institute (FAA) at:
http://www.cami.jccbi.gov/National-Resource/CAMI21st.html
Enjoy,
Ira
