| Subject: | Corrosion under the vinyl |
--> RV-List message posted by: "lucky macy" <luckymacy@hotmail.com>
I have a problem on 2 wing skins. Though they were all stored on edge and
together, 2 of the wing sheets have some oxidation that occurred under the
vinyl. One sheet has little blotches of slight discoloration all over the
place and the other has quite obvious oxidation along pre-punched rivet
holes and along one ege (the top edge, not the edge on the floor oddly
enough). The worst sheet would of course have this problem on both sides so
that however I solve this one side will have to wait for final epoxy and
paint for a couple of years (that being the outside surface).
If it was just inside surfaces, I guess I'd treat with alumiprep and scotch
brite, then alodine and epoxy & paint. But what do I do for the outside
surface?. I don't want to epoxy and paint as surely that won't end up being
compatible with whatever I end up using for the rest of the airplane. Any
ideas? Is there an alternative to using alodine on large wing sheets?
TIA,
lucky

On the outside skin, why not remove the corrosion with scotchbrite, then
etch and alodine the affected areas and give them a squirt of zinc chromate
from a rattle can? The zinc chromate will prevent further corrosion until
you decide on your finish system, and you can remove it with thinner at that
time.

I just can't imagine how many "credible" opinions you could get from
TWELVE rv lists!!! ;-)
Let's see...if there are twelve different opinions on which primer to
use on just this list.....that means there could be 144 primer opinions
on twelve lists! :-)
At some point you have to stop just reading........and start

I followed the recent posts on the replacement lights and I cannot
determine what lights to replace my 35 watt, small, round lights that
came as standard issue with the RMD wing tip kits I used in my RV-4.
These round lights are a little smaller then the standard auto round
lights of the 60's and 70's.....
Does anyone know of the replacement round, smaller halogen light
assembly that would fit the RMD wing tip kit light assembly holder ?

Doesn't the Rocket use Ti gear legs? I understood that they were lighter,
stronger and less "springy". Accoding to his price list they are a bit
spendier though.

And yes I know I should stop reading and start building but right now I can't start
building. So I am trying to learn as much as I can by reading these lists so hopefully
when
I do start building it will be easier from all I have learned on these lists.
BTW I am
planing on building the RV-7, and with any luck I should be able to start in about
18
months.

Sorry about that Jerry, it was not intentional. I guess I pasted from the
wrong e-mail. No it was not you who said the gear was weak. I agree with you,
it is not weak, it may be to springy but it is not to weak. I would like to
see a titanium gear set not because it is stronger because I am not so sure
it would be but becasue of the damping properties of that material. The Sonex
uses a titanium gear rod and I think the Harmon kit uses titanium gear rods
also. Overall, I believe our RVs are as strong or stronger than factory built
crap. The main gear is fairly robust for the purposes of the airplane. I know
some people look at the rod gear when it is in it's butt naked state and
having never seen a Cessna unfaired or looked at a retractable rod gear
Cessna then exclaim that the gear looks weak therefore it is--nada--nope.
Here say is here say. Since many amateur pilots fly these birds and since we
do not see RV gear commonly strewn along the runway it is reasonable to
believe that is because it usually remains attached to the aircraft in some
fashion despite our better efforts to remove it. To springy is not to weak.
Ever notice how every thread on the RV list turns into a
fight/argument/pissing contest/whatever. Sorry for having contributed to one
yet again. Do Not Archive. JR

One alternative is the 50 watt GE halogen bulb, H7604 available, as a last
resort, from McMaster Carr for about $25 each. These are 4 1/2" in diameter
and, as far as I know, standard issue on the RMD kits now. I was not able
to find a 100 watt (halogen) to replace it with, however. Looks like 50 w
is maximum for this size bulb (in a halogen).

Here's a copy a some correspondence I just had with Duckworks.
-----Original Message-----
I have RMD wingtip lights. What parts would I need to order to convert my
system to use your round 100w halogen lights?
Thanks,
Stan Blanton
RV-6
Stan,
Look at the 'upgrade' section of my 'light kits' page at our website.
www.duckworksaviation.com
(I think we need to work on that a little, it's not really clear what you
would order).
The part # for a LAMP ONLY is DW-LO-RU (means DuckWorks - Lamp Only - Round
Upgrade). This part would be ordered directly from us, NOT from Van's.
Each 'Lamp' is the 4" round PAR-36 aircraft reflector/lens, with the 100w
Halogen bulb mounted in the back. If the bulb ever burns out (I've lost one
in 650 hours in my RV with 2 lights on most the time) you just go to the
nearest hardware or auto parts store and buy a new H3 bulb for $5 - $10.
This lamp should fit right in the mount in the RMD setup, directly replacing
the sealed unit.
Each DW-LO-RU is $30. You could send a check directly to us with a note
requesting the lamp(s) that you need.
If you would like them shipped, please include $6 for shipping.
Send to: Don Wentz
50641 Firridge Ave
Scappoose, OR 97056
Thanks!

| Subject: | Re: Round Headlamps or Taxi / landing lights |
--> RV-List message posted by: P M Condon <pcondon@mitre.org>
A short study on round headlamps or lights and replacements.
There are three main sizes for the round headlamps in the USA. 7", 5.74
and 4 inch or PAR-36 size are the diameters of the common round
headlamps. My RV, as most takes the smaller PAR-36 sized round
headlamps.
The traditional, standard aviation PAR-36, 4 inch round headlamp
(Cessna, Piper, ect.) is the GE-4509, rated for 25 operational hours and
has a low candle power output. This is the headlamp that most FBO's
will have in stock, and, as I stated is the "traditional" aviation
headlamp. The GE-4537 is the 5.75 inch diameter aviation variant.
Next in performance is the halogen headlamp that is of the same
form-fit-factor-size as the aviation GE-4509 - meaning you can replace
this aviation headlamp with a halogen H-7604 in our experimentals. The
H-7604 is rated at 50 watts and 100,000CP. Or, for more lumens of light
you can go with the Q-4509 Halogen 100 watt, 140,000CP, PAR-36, 100 hr
rated life headlamp.
Lastly, you could go with HID that has 340,000CP and only consume 35
watts of power. This route will require a conversion assembly that the
folks at RMD said takes only seconds to install. The price on this HID
option is about 500 dollars from RMD. The HIDS are the way to go from a
pure performance and amount of light and low power requirement.
However,when I consider cost and performance, the Halogen replacement is
the way I will go. Besides, I don't need permission to spend 9
dollars...I need wifely permission (and concessions) to spend the 500
dollars.
Bottom line (for me) I will be converting from the PAR-36 sized, GE-4595
traditional headlamp to a halogen Q-4509. I will be increasing my CP
output by a 50% factor while spending 9 dollars per headlamp assembly.
In this case there will be a slight power requirement increase; however
I sized my wire and breakers for this upgrade.

--> RV-List message posted by: Nouj <nouj@compuserve.com>
Hi there Everybody
Happy New Year to you all, I visit LAX regularly from UK and stop over for
at least a full day, I was wondering if any body close by (SoCal) needs a
hand now and again. I would far rather mess about with an RV than sit in my
Hotel watching HBO. I went up to Corona recently and really enjoyed the
atmosphere and appreciated the friendliness of the guys that I met up
there.
I would be happy to reciprocate if any builders regularly visit LHR/ LGW or
even any other part of UK. I have finished the empennage of my RV 7 and am
now into the wing additionally my QB Fus arrives within the next 8 weeks.
In the past when I have been over I helped Dan Checkoway if any of you need
to see a RV 7 build checkout his website at www. rvproject.com
Hoping to hear from some one soon

Jack, or anyone. Just for grins, where the heck in the manual are you
finding this. I have look my tail and can't find crap. (Please insert
stronger words appropriately if you will, I just cleaned the post up:-)
Anyway, thanks, I just drill my flap hinge to leave a 1/4". Looks nice.

The RV 6 drawing, (my 1995 vintage), #10 "Wing Layout" clearly shows 1/4"
spacing between aileron-flap and between aileron-wing tip, which is
reiterated in the write-up re wing-tip installation.

Rick,
Check the left/right differential outputs from the 430 that drive the Navaid
to see if they are reversed.

I just saw it in the 6th issue 2002 of The RVator, inside last page. It
says RV7, DWG 9: Zone B5: Added "1/4" dimension to set span-wise
position of flap in relation to the aileron. Zone B9: Added "1/4"
dimension for trim between aileron and wingtip.

| Subject: | Flap hinge measurement wrong |
--> RV-List message posted by: Bobby Hester <bhester@apex.net>
Did everybody else catch the Flap hinge measurement callout of 56" as
being wrong? I wish I had on the first hinge. It should be 56-1/4" The
end rivet on both ends does not have enough edge distance if cut to 56".
I don't see any reason to cut a new one though. What's your thoughts?

It sounds like you are not getting one of the differential signals to
correct the track. Miswire or open connection ?

Bobby, you are right. I ended up cutting mine to match the flap spar and
they turned out to be 56.25. This left sufficient room for rivet spacing on
both sides.
I looked at drawing 9, 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,10,11,12,13,14........well you get
the drift. Nowhere on mine does it say anything about that 1/4". Anyway
these plans are like the bible compared to cliff notes in comparison to the
first airplane I built. Trust me gang, be happy with these plans:-) Hard
to do sometimes though...........

--> RV-List message posted by: "WALTER KERR" <kerrjb@msn.com>
Everything is on go for a good low key RV flyin at the SnF site this Friday and
Saturday.
Some folks are planning on meeting at Tony's on the N side of the airport for lunch
and then moving over to the site. We will be parking RV's between the FAA
building and the vendor buildings and non RV's in front of the vendor buildings.
Friday evening ,the museum has a featured speaker talking about making the book;
USA from 500 feet. There is a charge if you wish to do this.
We will order pizza and someone will make a beer run to the supermarket for those
so inclined.
There will be a campfire and lots of hangar stories. Camping is free and there
will be a shower house with hot water.
Breakfast and lunch on Saturday will be provided by a local EAA Chapter.
There will be 3 forums for those interested on Sat morning. Jan Bussel, a CFII
with a 6A, will be doing a forum on landing your RV. This will be an expansion
on what Van has started in the RVator. Mike Stewart will be doing a forum on
formation flying. Bernie Kerr will be talking about building a new prepunch kit
compared to his 1997 6A prepunch kit. He will also talk about his experience
mounting a rotary in his new 9A.
Please register (free) as there are door prizes to be given away at the forums.
There is some free 100LL provided by the local FBO and SnF is providing some
gifts from their shop.
You can also see the grand coming out of several really neat new RV's, Dr Jim Norman
plans on being there and I assume we will see Pat Hatch's new 6A. Both of
these are really loaded and well done RV's. People are always raising the bar
on new airplanes :>)

| Subject: | Engine Primer Solenoid - Push to Prime Button |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Ernest Kells" <ernest.kells@sympatico.ca>
Vans now offers an electric solenoid primer kit. Can someone tell me what
switch they include for this? I had my system about 2/3 built so I am
continuing on my own. I have a "push button switch" that I don't like (ACS:
SPB01). I am thinking about exchanging it for the P1 Momentary Switch ACS
page 385. The solenoid has a low ampere requirement.
The SPB01 is very large, requires soldering, has a crude appearance
(unfinished metal) and requires a nonstandard cutout in prime real-estate.
Anything better than the P1 Momentary Switch??? Thanks

Absolutely love it in my -4. If I wasn't installing the Bluemountain EFIS-1
in my -8 I'd use it there too.

I installed the very same solenoid in my RV-4. Just went over to the
hardware store and found an attractive pushbutton switch with screw
terminals. Guess it cost me about two bucks. Works perfect.
I suggest though you install a diode on this solenoid installation if you
have any electronic instruments. This solved a voltage variation in my
installation.

I have noticed that there is humor in just about everything. I do in my own
small way attempt to inject some into these "fight/argument/ etc/etc"
subjects. Lighten up, it makes the trip to the first flight a lot more fun.
Keep up with the subjects and I'll continue to poke fun.
