Subject: | Just Two Days Left - Still Way Behind... |
Dear Listers,
There are just two more days left in this years List Fund Raiser. Over the last
few weeks I have received some really nice comments from members on what the
Lists have meant to them. I have included some of them below. Please read over
the comments and ponder on your own feelings about the Lists and the support
and camaraderie you have found here.
We are still way behind last year in terms of the number of contributions. I really
want to keep providing these services to the homebuilt community, but it
take resources. Since there's no advertising budget or deep pockets to keep
the operation a float, its solely your generosity during the Fund Raiser that
keeps things going. Please make a Contribution today.
If you've been putting off showing your support for the Lists, now is the time
to do it!

Subject: | Diameter of 912 oil hose and oil hose type |
Hi Frans,
Thanks for your thoughts.
I ended up calling Rotax Canada - they had the right hose and the firesleeves,
at quite a reasonable price. Lesson learned - ask Rotax first, then fan out.
Thanks to all those taking the time to address my question.

The link a gave earlier in this thread points to a hose that is light
weight, very flexible, and able to handle high temperatures.
Rubber hoses age and need to be replaced at least every five years, are
heavy, and not tolerant of very high temperatures. Normally you wouldn't
need the additional protection of a "fancy" hose, but what if you have a
crack in the exhaust and the resulting plume heats up the hose, or
something breaks loose in the engine compartment (I once had a factory
drip tray fall off during flight) and abbrases the oil hose?
I have been flying with the standard rubber hoses and barb fittings, but
when I took them off after one year I was glad I did so (one hose had
softened considerably and had became a bit sticky) and I feel much more
comfortable with my new "fancy" hoses. ;-)

Subject: | Rough River Dates September 21st & 22nd |
Hi All,
Finally managed to get to Donna at Rough River lodge as she's been on vacation.
She's the one that books the group blocks of rooms & cabins. When you call I
would ask for her.
I believe most everyone has agreed that the Labor Day weekend wasn't right and
most wanted to go as close to October as possible. So here's the deal... The weekend
of the 14th & 15th had sport aviation booked and not many rooms left. The
weekend of the 28th & 29th had no avails due to a large wedding so that left
us with either the 7&8th or the 21st & 22nd. So I went with the 21st & 22nd.
I hope you all agree. I know some have shown an interest in the 1st week of October
and the lodge has some opening's that weekend however going from memory
I think weather can start being more of a factor then. The 28th & 29th is wide
open as far as rooms go so unless I contact her we're good to go on that weekend.
She has set aside a block of rooms and cabins to cover us based on years
past but the sooner we each book the better we are. Last year was slow due to
weather & commitments so lets turn this around and make 2012 the best yet.
Hope this is good for you all. If we as a group feel we should change lets chime
in here and I'll get er done. I will also contact the weather gods early and
put our order in for a fabulous weekend and suggest you all do the same. Just
let me know and I'll start the list.
Best Regards,
Jeff R. N128LJ Gold Rush.... Flying great once again.

Subject: | Setting angle of incidence for bonding spar alignment bushes |
I am about to embark on bonding the spar alignment bushes into the
cockpit module (chapter 14). The manual says to set the wing spar
parallel to the front of the seat back, and that this is good enough
for now. That seems rather arbitrary to me, given that the tolerance
required later is 2.5 +/- 0.05 degrees. I am confused how the angle of
incidence can be adjusted in the future with the bushes already bonded
in. Would it not be best if the bushes are bonded after setting the
2.5 deg incidence? But then I am uncertain how to infer the angle of
incidence with the cockpit module sitting face down on the floor. Any
thoughts from experienced builders would be appreciated!

Hi Jeff,
We can only thank you for your good works and attempt at controlling the
weather gods. However please can you confirm which week end we are going
for. You have left an ambiguity. Is it 21st & 22nd or 28th & 29th?

Subject: | Setting angle of incidence for bonding spar alignment |
bushes
Hi Andrew,
The wing incidence is pre determined by the pre drilled bushes in both the
wing spars and the fuselage. The angle of attack does need to be set by
you. Parallel to the front of the seat back refers to both spars being
parallel to the seat back when viewed from ABOVE.
Hope this will give you a different view on the problem

Hi Pete,
Thanks for that response. It is good to know that the drilled holes
are predetermined for the correct angle. My concern actually arose
from reading others' posting that the the pins were difficult to
engage, which I assumed came from small twists during the angle
setting process. These are long bolts, so I suspect even a fraction of
a degree rotation would cause the holes to become misaligned. If I
could somehow verify using some reference points inside the cockpit
module that the bushes I am about to bond are actually at the correct
angle, that would be a great relief.

bushes
Hi Andrew,
It is a long time ago that I did this bit so my memory is a little hazy but
the pins are not actually a tight fit and the bushes themselves are quite
short. I have worked with a number of builders through this phase and none
have had a problem. To be quite honest none of them have really raised any
questions, they followed the instructions in the manual and all worked OK.
It is good that you have thought through and anticipated problems but in
this instance it probably seems worse than it is.

Jeff,
Thank you for the clarification. That weekend may just put it out of range
for us coming from the UK. One of our daughters is getting married just days
before that and we had hoped to come to Florida first so that we could drive
up to RR from there to support N283JL.
We will have to wait till nearer the time for a final decision.

Subject: | Re: Setting angle of incidence for bonding spar alignment |
bushes
Andrew,
I shared your dilemma when at the same stage.
A couple of pertinent points that may assist ......
1 When the cockpit module is installed, the seat back is reclined at 2.5 degrees
to the horizontal axis of the aircraft hence the need to set up the spars parallel
to the seat back..
2 You will find that the bushes you have to fit are quite a sloppy fit on the main
wing pins which allows for considerable tolerance.
3 I'm fairly sure the 2.5 +/- 0.05 degrees reference is in relation to each wing
rather than the incidence setting overall.
If you go ahead as per the manual taking as much care as you can, you can expect
things to turn out like you hope.
All the best
Kingsley
