F.Y.I.
I've always used the term ( experimental N444JN ) when addressing ATC. After
I got my instrument ticket, I used the same term a couple of times. ATC has
never addressed me as experimental. I never use that term anymore. They let
me know I was an RV4, not an experimental.

The cost of the 3-piece canopy stiffner was a little over $20.

Hi Listers,
My question is regarding the material(s) used for filling the space
under the actual seat cushions. A review of the archives did not yield
very much.
The top layers of the seat clearly need to be some sort of foam with the
most attractive (and most expensive) being Tempurfoam. However, the
space beneath the foam which is of the order of 5" (RV-6A) can be a much
firmer material and possibly rigid. An attractive material because of
its easy fabrication and lightness is the common insulation foam used in
home construction. However, this is polystyrene which will not meet a
simple flammability test. When exposed to a flame, it melts and will
burn.
However, in the location under the cushions, is fire resistance an
important consideration? In thinking about how that area could be
exposed to flame, it would seem that, in order for that material to
reach high enough temperatures, the occupants would already been done in
by flames and whether or not the seat bottoms burn would become moot.
I would be interested in any insights, experiences you have had as well
as the material selections you have made (for those who made their
seats). For those who purchased seats, do you know what the materials
are in your seat bottoms?
Thanks in advance.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
Regards,
Richard Dudley

Hi Len,
l agree with you about announcing yourself ahead of time when arriving
at an airport, (controlled, or uncontrolled) but for the benefit of the
lowtimers and others it might be better to say " will be entering the pattern
in 4 minutes" when you will be landing depends on how much other traffic is
there ahead of you.
Just my 2 cents worth and please don,t archive this

I missed something on this. What is the product you are using
for this repair? I have a stopped drill hole that is showing small crack
on the edge that I would like to try and repair. Can answer off list if
you prefer. I am about 80% done on RV6 but this problem is on C140 I am
1/2 owner on.
Thanks

Ladies & Gentlemen,
Builder's Bookstore, (which I now consider a division of Aircraft Technical
Book Company) has long ago outgrown its meager surroundings which it still
occupies in the basement of my house; and has also long ago outgrown the
services available to it, which to date has been completely provided by me
and my wife (Nancy) It is now well past time to take the next step.
Unfortunately, even though living in Winter Park, CO has far more benefits
than not, the availability of professional minded help is scarce. We are a
town of part time ski bums and retired millionaires. So just on the chance
that this list might include a few airplane savy people who like to live
outside the box; here goes:
We have three basic positions available; two in Winter Park, and one class
of position which can be done anywhere (worldwide).
1] (in Winter Park) Customer Service & Order Processing
Talking to customers on the phone ranging from RV Builders, to university
department heads, to international distributors. Answering semi-technical
questions, making recommendations, resolving order related problems. (NOT
phone sales). Also handling daily order processing and shipping.
2] (in Winter Park) IFR charting specialist
Our expanded relation with Jeppesen (we are now among a handful of worldwide
top tier Jeppesen dealers enjoying the highest discount levels possible)
leaves a gapping hole in our catalog. That is with Jeppesen's main product,
IFR charting services. We need someone very familiar with instrument
navigation and all the latest paper and digital technology on an air carrier
through individual level, who can build and work that department.
3] (from anywhere; worldwide - almost) Marketing Reps
Particularly to high schools. Your job would be to work with high school
Industrial Arts departments in what will be your exclusive territory, to
develop new 11th and 12th grade courses in aviation technology. We'll
provide everything you need including a complete day-day instructor's
syllabus. Of course, the income potential is in providing the text books
for those classes.
Want to know more about these jobs? Want to know more about life in Winter
Park? (golf, fishing, skiing, hiking, climbing, fresh air, good schools,
zero crime, an active RV flyers club - 5 flying, another near completion)

I have spoken to 2 controllers on this. They have not heard of this
communication to controllers from the FAA. But both are looking it up.
Also, my operating Limitations 'REQUIRE' that I identify myself as an
experimental, and is standard in every op lim issued from the Atl FSDO. I
suspect that is the case around the country as they all use the same
template for issuing them.

The owner of the RV that is being built in my hangar is an ATC. I'll ask
him. I have also heard Lancairs and Glasairs communicate without the

I think a lot.
I have seen and experienced some confusion based upon position reports using
landmarks only ... many times.
Tonight, for example, I will be flying to an airport I have never seen before.
Position reports that do not specify bearing are, for the most part, useless.
Landmarks may be helpful to those who know the area, however.
Therefore, at the least, one should always give some indication of direction.
e.g.: ..... 10 miles to southeast of field, inbound......"
And if you have local knowledge, you may still include the bearing and distance,
with a named landmark.
e.g.: "..... 10 miles to southeast of field, over Mt. Hope Bridge,
inbound......"

Amit,
I don't know if I can tell you what you want to know but I'll take a stab
at it. In the science museum in Ottawa there hangs a flying machine
of Da Vinci's design. It's called an Ornithopter. That word, though,
might describe the type of flying machine it is.

Rick,
Excellent write-up, and thanks for the very kind words. Yesterday was one
year on my rv w/ 694 hours. Amazing.
I have more to learn on the full potential of this plane. It gets better all
the time.
Sure did enjoy having you down. Next time we will call ahead and verify they
have FOOD for us huh?
Have a great holiday.
Mike Stewart
Hoping Santa brings me some RV goodies

Folks,
I thought a few of you may like to read a post to the Mid Atlantic and TEAM
RV Yahoo Groups. When I was building, stuff like this kept me down in the
basement working harder than ever (Thanks Big Time to Paul Rosales - aka
SoCal Rosie for his travel stories)! Delete or Enjoy - The choice is yours
:
). Happy Holidays to ALL
Rick Gray RV6 Ohio at the Buffalo Farm (1st flight in August, 121 hrs) lots
of loops and rolls
Mike,
Had a great time today.........thanks BIG TIME for all your help and
support. You put a great deal into this sport.........I recognize
this and appreciate ALL your efforts. Guys like me are reaping the
benefits of your efforts and willingness to share your knowledge.
Thanks Mike!!
Later.
Rick at the Buffalo Farm - come on up dude and you can stay at our
house and I'll let you ride the 'little Buffalo' -- smile
Sporty's.....NO......TEAM RV......YES,
Hey guys,
Thought I give you a little travel report from today's flight. The
wind was blowing BIG TIME here in Ohio today (and my passenger for
the planned ride to Sporty's

down in Georgia(?).......isn't that an RV in my hangar(?).......you
bet!!! Well, what are we waiting for........??
We had the airport to ourselves. Wheels up at 0640 from Parkersburg
(PKB) (don't ya' just love turning on the lights on 2 huge runways
with the click of mic button - smile).
Climbed to 8500' with Charleston Center till they dumped us somewhere
over North Carolina. Head winds kept our ground speed to 160mph but
they steadily increased to about 195 as we neared Lawrenceville, Ga.
(LZU). Smooth 20 deg cold air over the mountains, the sun rising off
to the left, and a full moon off to the right.......this is why I
built my plane (69 deg in cockpit and Yanni on the CD didn't hurt
either...grin). LZU Ok'd us for the overhead approach and a few
minutes later we were on the ground with my good buddy Mike Stewart
and new friend Steve McDonald (RV4). 2.3 hours and we're in
Georgia....somebody pinch me. Hey.....look over there! Here come some
more RV's. Mike briefed the flight......safety, Lead, Wingmen, #2,
fingertip, safety, squawk, check in, #6, safety,
questions?....safety, let's go. Before I knew it we were taxiing out
as a 6 ship (Mike/lead/RV6A, Steve/RV4, Greg Bitzer/Wingman/RV6,
Danny Kight/Wingman/RV6, Ken ?/RV6, and myself/RV6)in route to
Moontown, Alabama (3M5)
<A HREF="http://www.airnav.com/airport/3M5
<http://www.airnav.com/airport/3M5> ">http://www.airnav.com/airport/3M5
<http://www.airnav.com/airport/3M5>
to meet up with the Tennessee RV bunch. Great opportunity for this
new guy to get some much needed formation practice. Clay Smith (RV4)
joined up about half way into the 1 hour flight to Moontown. Upon
arrival, TEAM RV made a few beautiful passes for the crowd on the
2100' grass strip which included an echelon, diamond, arrow, and the
big finale....... a STARBURST (you had to be there).....this was
spectacular!! RV's 'shooting' all over the sky!! Trailing behind
in 'loose' formation gave me a birds eye view of some awesome
precision formation work. What a display!! Upon reforming from the
Starburst Mike called the TEAM back into trail for the landing and
formation taxi, turn, & shutdown on the 'flight line'. Lots of well
deserved compliments from the crowd!! Hmmm, I wonder why - these
guys practice often and are really good. With 10 or so RV's already
on the field, our arrival just about doubled the count. Needless to
say we got to see lots of cool airplanes and flybys. The wx was
severe clear and about 60 deg. Sweet. We hung out for a couple hours
revisiting with folks we met down at SERFI
<A HREF="http://www.serfi.org/ <http://www.serfi.org/>
">http://www.serfi.org/ <http://www.serfi.org/>
(Dennis Milsap/Robin Hunt and others)in October and of
course....making new friends. Oh yea, even Mr Sam Buchanan was
there....big smile and hand shake from Sam.......if you're asking
yourself 'who's Sam?'.....you probably don't have an RV.

These folks meet at Moontown every 3rd Saturday.....a great bunch
with great southern hospitality.....it doesn't get any better.
We departed as a single ship for PKB. The 425 statute mile trip home
from Alabama was just 2 hours 2 minutes with an average groundspeed
of 210mph. Sweet ride at about 7500'.......UNTIL we started descending
to PKB. ATIS report wasn't promising and a quick call on 123.7
verified that the winds were still waiting for us. 26 gusting to 34
out of 25. The turbulent descent really tested the Dramamine my
buddy 'Gary' took a few hours before, but the sick sacks stayed in
the center console....:
). My choices were 21 and 28 (I like having
a 'choice' :
)). I decided on 28 and we were cleared to land. I
wouldn't have enjoyed this moment in my Kitfox but the RV handled it
no problem. A short taxi to the pumps to top off the tanks......a few
moments later N856RG was back in the hanger. Total time on the hobbs
today was 6.6 hours.....not bad for a spur of the
moment.....er....uh...dare I say....pick up WAM - don't cha love it!
Fuel burn was 8.3 on the way down and 7.9 on the way back. The 7.9
was among the lower end of my fuel burns so far.....but it did
include the hour formation hop from Lawrenceville to Moontown at
about 2300rpm. I'm running an O-360 fixed pitch. I typically avg 8.1
to 8.3 at altitude - and lean to 20 deg rich of peak. Some folks do
better, but these are my numbers.
Let's see, rise at 4:45 am, wheels up at 6:40, Ohio to Georgia in 2.3
hours, formation w/TEAM RV (well, loose for me) to Moontown Alabama,
chit chat with good ol' boy Sam Buchanan, and back home to Ohio by
about 2:45.......I love my RV. Keep poundin' them rivets. Or keep
painting 'em, (over & over till you get one you like) as it applies
to you.....Zack :
)
Oh yea.... a plug for my new 'Jantzi' steering link....this baby is a
nice addition to my 6 and is a 'keeper'.......don't leave home
without one!

something going on be sure to post.

My controller friends tell me that the RV series of aircraft has been included
in the "Controllers' Glossary and Abbreviation Manual" (or whatever that thing
is called) for at least a year, maybe two. So you are good to announce "RV6
000SH" to the controller without the "Experimental" and they'll know you're a
180 knot airplane.

After trying to design an electric canopy latching system, and giving up,
yielding to Van's "simpler, efficient" design, I've been installing the
standard tip up latch. Question: When cutting the slot in the side skin, I
made the hole the same size as the "joggle" area on the latch. Looks great,
but it won't open. You need to carve out more forward of the joggle to
allow the handle to swing forward. First of all, how much does the handle
need to rotate? And has anyone come up with a way to make the hole and the
joggle fit each other without cutting too much more?

As I write, my RV-8A is 85+% complete with 85+% to go. Actually, my plans
(hopes??) are to have this thing flying this summer. Once my prop arrives, I will
have essentially everything either on the aircraft or in the garage. I look at
how much has been accomplished to date, and yet how much is to go, and SOMETIMES
wonder if this is EVER going to be finished!
It is posts like this that keep the fires burning, build my anticipation about

Amit,
I don't know if I can tell you what you want to know but I'll take a stab
at it. In the science museum in Ottawa there hangs a flying machine
of Da Vinci's design. It's called an Ornithopter. That word, though,
might describe the type of flying machine it is.

Most operating limitations on experimental aircraft require that you notify
"ATC" that your aircraft is experimental. "RV240" is legal and fine for
unicom, but on your first call to ATC (Center, Approach, & Tower), no matter
what ATC says, if your operating limitations read like mine, legally, you
are supposed to say "experimental."
For me it usually goes like this,
"Minney Center, RV 240."
They often respond "ARMY 240 go ahead"
"Minneapolis, R,V, 240 is an experimental RV-4 with you at X.5 squawking
1200 blah blah blah....."
After that it is "RV240"
ATC could care less if your airplane is experimental, but the FEDs do.

From an ATC side.....There are a bazillion different experimentals out
there. We like to know what kind so that we can quote traffic and get some
idea of the aircraft performance. When filing if your aircraft does not
have an approved designator or you are not sure, use HXA (speeds < 90kts),
HXB (speeds 90-190kts), and HXC (speeds > 191kts) all the RV designators are
approved....RV4, RV6,RV8, etc...

You forgot LIGHT WEIGHT. I had seats made by a local custom aircraft
upholstery shop and he used 100% temperfoam and they're obscenely comfy but
also HEAVY. I checked around about this later and someone told me to look
for "FR flotation foam" (the FR stands for "Fire Resistant"). So I went to a
foam shop but there were several different FR floatation foams and no spec
on weight and the little snips they had really didn't give me an idea of how
stiff one would be if you sat on it... I gave up but still would like to
know... not sure it'd be worth the trouble but I think about replacing the
bottom 4" or so in my seats with lightweight stuff. So if anyone else knows
the answer I'd like to know too.

I had to file away here, reassembly, test, disassemble, and file more many
times before the latch would actuate enough. The latch handle swings just
over 90 degrees now.
This is some thing that you have to go very slow at.

My RV is obviously not flying but when I communicated with a tower in my
Kitfox I called Experimental Kitfox NXXXXXZZ. That way they would know I was
an 80 knot airplane they had to deal with. I did see a statement that said
that certain Experimental aircraft could use their "type" when reporting,
this would supersede the Operating Restrictions that say Experimental. I
believe it was in Sport Aviation about 2 years ago and they were quoting from
an FAA Bulletin. I think they included RVs, Glasairs, Lancairs and a few
others that were common enough and fast enough that controllers needed a
heads up that they were not dealing with a Briggs and Stratton powered flying
lawnmower. I cannot remember the Bulletin so again I have no proof.
I don't see how you could get in trouble trying to help out the tower by
reporting on the first call as Experimental RV XXXXZZ and using RVZZ
thereafter but I could be wrong.
I have been working on a commercial rating, I have noticed over the years
guys who are shooting IFR practice approaches will report " Cessna 182
38UGLY, Noodle inbound for NDB 13", trust me on this, the VFR Private guys
probably do not know where "Noodle" is and may have forgotten what an NDB is.
I think when flying in VFR weather, especially at uncontrolled airports,
pilots should report as, RV (Exp) XXXZZ 5 miles SW inbound to Cooke Field for
downwind or 5 miles SW inbound for staight-in to 36 etc. That tells them what
you are, where you are and what you are planning to do. The problem with
landmarks is they get different names, only locals know them and the probelm
with using IFR fixes, intersections etc is that the VFR guys don't know that
stuff either. Giving an altitude such as 3000 or descending from 3000 tells
the others guys that you are working down from 3000 to pattern altitude. What
do the pro pilots think? Do Not Archive JR

You raise a good point, that VFR pilots don't necessarily know where to look
for IFR traffic, especially at uncontrolled fields they're not familiar with.
The good news is that IFR traffic is pretty predictable, so it shouldn't take
local VFR pilots long to know where to look, at the fields they normally fly
at.
But IFR terminology and radio procedures are pretty tightly defined. I don't
think altering them is a good idea. VFR pilots who want to improve their
look-out for IFR traffic should probably learn the basics of approach plates,
so they can familiarize themsevles with where traffic might be at fields where
they anticipate a problem.

What I am referring to is practice approaches in VFR conditions at busy
uncontrolled airports. Yes, though, I see your point, still, I would not
count on VFR guys ever knowing what "Noodle Intersection inbound means". Did
anyone see the article, I think in AOPA, about IFR pilots having higher
accident rates than VFR rated pilots, I think mostly due to midairs etc. My
instructor is a classic example. Since he is ATP and all that he has long
forgotten that lot's of people don't do the "talk" thing. I took him for a
ride in my Fox before I sold it and he was simply amazed at my totally
different style of flying and probably the kind most of us do. We do not
follow airways and sometimes we take off without a firm destination. He had
long forgotten the 3D aspect of flying which I reintroduced him to.
Anyway Ted, I see what your saying, I do not know what is best or what to do
really, when I shoot a practice approach I have been reporting on unicom in
"VFR talk", if I am also being monitored by ATC (from a nearby controlled
airport) and they still have not handed me off to unicom then I make the
required calls also per the FARs, they may say to report "saltt inbound, when
I cross saltt and report inbound the usually hand me off to unicom and I make
a second call on unicom, "Cooke Traffic, Cessna XXXZZ, 5 miles SW at 3000,
straight in for 35". Usually, even when I stay with ATC for practice they
hand me off to unicom and say to report back after missed for next approach
or sometimes I request to do them all VFR/own navigation so I do not have to
deal with ATC. In any case I give VFR traffic a proper position report I
think they can relate to. This really is kind of complicated isn't it? It is
snowing, yuk. Do Not Archive. JR

I agree with JR, if you are flying IFR any self-announcements at non
towered airports are for local VFR traffic and should be in terms VFR
pilots can understand. VFR pilots won't know where to look necessarily
for "inbound on the GPS-A approach for 31" but they had better
understand "2 mile right base for 31".

I agree that most VFR pilots could/would benefit from knowing more about
how IFR traffic operates. But I also feel if you do not report where you
are in a manner understandable by _all_ pilots, you're just asking for a
student or some other low-time pilot to meet you midair.
Of course, if you're in the soup with nothing but IFR pilots up, then
there's no need to do so. But if you happen to be coming into an
uncontrolled field on a CSVU Saturday afternoon, well, it's your
lookout. Myself, I'd prefer not to bend metal. Making sure everybody can
figure out where I am probably goes a long way towards that.

Sorry, I didn't pick up on the original post being specifically about practice
IFR approaches in VFR weather. I agree with what's been said about making
additional calls on tower or UNICOM as appropriate, in a manner than makes
sense to VFR pilots. Perhaps this is a place for "break break" (or is that
used in the U.S.)?
When the IFR approaches are instructional, as opposed to practice, I don't
think you can expect the student (or pilot being checked out) to be making
these calls, but where practical the instructor can make them.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Ralph E. Capen" <recapen@earthlink.net>
Folks,
I'm trying to figure out the best place to install my flux detector for my
NSD-1000 in my RV6A slider...
So far, the turtledeck area up high and aft seems to be the best place as it
is the closest that I can come to 18" away from the nearest steel.
I'm looking for anyone that has put one of these into their planes to
help...
Thanks,
Ralph Capen

Came across interesting web site showing recommended types and depths of
"Temper Foam" that might be helpful at:
http://www.keesgoebel.com/t.foam.htm
Flyer from "Hi-Tech Foams" http://www.seatfoam.com recommends seat
bottoms be 1"soft,1"med,1"firm, with remainder filled with builders
styrofoam or the Firm tempor foam.
Hope this helps,
