(Hal) Kempthorne JT, I hate chiming in on things like this but I, and apparently many, appreciate your insight into this discussion. It is related to RVs, as opposed to what some may think. I may not agree with insurance but it is a nessesary evil. BTW gang, my Bonanza insurance is right at what we are paying for RV insurance and that is based on the low high performance/complex time my partner has. The quotes, if you covered (sorry JT:-) seem reasonable. OH, while I'm stirring stink...............I'll compare a nosewheel to the face mask on a football helmet.........It's an improvement on something outdated/old/ingrained/traditional (what else can I stir with). All you nosedragger guys, properly landing a tailwheel is no for difficult than properly landing a nosewheel, the key word is properly. Besides, they don't paint a red S on the chest of the tailwheel gang. All in fun gang, remember it is Fun Friday!! Dana Overall Richmond, KY http://rvflying.tripod.com do not archive

    Subject: KY, OH, TN get together
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Dana Overall" <bo124rs@hotmail.com> For those of you outside the KY area, please delete and I apoligize beforehand for using the RV list. It's easier to ask for forgivness than ask for permission:-) Flight time as a reference, I can be in Huntsville, AL in a little over an hour in my Bonanza. I'm opening my shop, office and den up for anyone in the area to stop by three weeks from tomorrow, Feb. 15th., for a little winter RV get together. My house is two hours from the TN line and 2 hours from the OH line about 10 minutes off I-75. Since there are no flyins this time of year, I'll lay my project out for inspection/insult/ whatever to be able to meet some of the "local" RV builders and fliers. Just don't find that one rivet I didn't use a guage on........come to think of it, there might be two. I know Daniel, who cut his lightening holes yesterday, Jim in lex builder of an 8, Jim Sears a 6 flyer but would like to get to know others in the area. I'll provide the "refreshments" as long as you provide a driver:-) For those wanting to fly in, the nearest airport is I39 Madison Co. I'll leave a car and keys at the airport. You will have access to my shop, office and den. We will be telling lies, drinking spirits.....I mean having spirit, playing pool, ice skating on the pool or playing lawn darts with the icicles. Seriously, I figure this is a good way to keep the winter juices flowing and put some faces with names off this list. Mapquest puts my house two houses away but will get you here. I guess I could take the flag down and lean a HS by the front door, that should point out the right house. Remember, do something good on Friday 14th......V-day, so the little lady will let you come to Richmond, KY on the 15th.

    --> RV-List message posted by: "Scott Kuebler" <skuebler@cannondesign.com> A while back (September) there was a gentleman who was nice enough to offer to help me find a supplier for Long Lok fasteners. I made the mistake of procrastinating in replying to him and have since lost his name and email. Now that I am back to working on my plane I am once again trying to find these screws. If the person is still out there could you email me back off-list and I can get you the part numbers and quantities. Thank you, Scott Kuebler Buffalo, NY RV-6a (wings) Do not archive

    Subject: Re: Air drills
    --> RV-List message posted by: P M Condon <pcondon@mitre.org> Here is a good piece of air drill advice. Use the lightweight air hose extension from Avery and use two air drills, one chucked up with a #30, the other drill chucked up with a #40. Believe me this has save lots of time and bother. No routing around for chuck keys, drill bits and when drilling multiple holes, or up drilling to the larger drill bit, swapping the quick disconnect takes seconds. I used colored tape on the drill body for quick identification. The light weight hose works great and keeps the tension from the real air hose from fighting with you.

    Subject: Be Aware FAA can pull anyones license without recourse.. SECURITY
    --> RV-List message posted by: Hal Rozema <hartist1@cox.net> You're Grounded/Suspended: TSA Trumps FAA TSA Takes Over Issuance/Maintenance of Certificates, in New NPRM In the Federal Register Friday, 01.24.2003, you'll be able to see that you can be knocked out of the air -- just like that -- if the TSA alleges that you pose a 'security risk.' Pilots will be immediately grounded; mechanics, DERs -- everybody who holds a certificate of any kind from the FAA -- can be immediately out of a job. The TSA will notify you that you are considered a 'security risk.' It will notify the FAA; and the FAA will immediately suspend your ticket(s), pending your 'appeal.' You will then have to convince the TSA (which already declared you a 'security risk') that you are not a 'security risk,' without your knowing why they think you are such a risk. Then, when the TSA issues its final ruling, the FAA will revoke your papers. We wanted some confirmation on this, and called the TSA. Chris Rhatigan, in the press office there, said, "You may have to talk to the FAA on that." We read her a part of the summary, which says, "This final rule expressly makes a person ineligible to hold FAA-issued airman certificates if the Transportation Security Administration notifies the FAA in writing that the person poses a security threat." As we continued reading, and noted that the TSA was calling the shots, she said, "Hold on a second." She returned, and said, "This [determination that you're a security threat] comes from an intelligence database." OK -- so, how do we know how big a threat, or how it's determined that one even is such a threat? "We don't tell people how to get on to that database," she said. In other words, if you're denied your certificate, you won't be able to find out why -- just that someone, somewhere, thinks you're a 'security risk.' Ms Rhatigan informed us that everything would be spelled out in the NPRM, and that we'd have to wait until Friday, to see what was getting published in the Federal Register. Well, folks the law goes into effect Friday. No NPRM. No discussion. Decree. Tough.

    --> RV-List message posted by: "Neil McLeod" <bedrock@theriver.com> I have a cheap air drill and 2 cordless drills, 2 corded electric drills and 1 Sioux. I use them all and they all have their place but my favorite for the majority of the drilling is the Sioux. It's smaller, lighter, quieter and has a much more sensitive trigger, same for their rivet gun. I would buy it again.

    Subject: Re: Air drills
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Rick Galati" <rick07x@earthlink.net> "Will Lynda Allen" linenwool@attbi.com Well so much for the air drill I picked up at Boeing Surplus, it didn't even make it through the HS! I'm going to buy new this time but maybe I can still get away with something not too expensive. Is anyone using the "under $100" air drills available at Browns or Cleveland and finding them to do the job just fine or do I really have to fork out a couple hundred for an air drill? Also, so that I don't have to stop working while waiting for a new drill, has anyone used their Makita for any work? -Will Allen North Bend, Wa RV8 emp Will, I have used air drills to build the taxpayers airplanes all my work life. I have a perfectly good Sioux. In the end, when I need to use a pistol grip hand drill, I reach for and use my 14.4V DeWalt cordless. With its keyless chuck it's quick, variable speed, unencumbered, high torque and gives my compressor a rest. For holes that require extra precision, I use my drill press. For restricted access holes I use my 45 degree (preferred), or 90 degree drill motor. My experience has been that the Sioux pistol grip air drill is rarely used on my project.

    Subject: Airflow Performance bypass valve cabling question
    --> RV-List message posted by: "John Brick" <jbrick@wolfenet.com> Let's hear the long story, Jim. Bart installed the purge valve on my O-360 as you describe yours (right side with lever in vertical plane). According to the airflow performance manual, this is typical for RV-4's and Lancair's. My purge valve moves clockwise to shutoff. Seems logical to set the control cable for Push-Run and Pull-off. Bringing the control cable up from below between cyls might work...is that a feasible option?

Mine is on the right side of the engine, and the valve sits 90 degrees to what I'm seeing in photos. The reason that there is a different version is so that us guys with very tight fitting plenums can fit it under the plenum. Thus mine sits with the arm swinging in a plane perpindicular to the floor rather than parallel to it like in the two photos I've seen attached to this string. This posed a VERY major problem. To make a long story short... sufice it to say that people with a plenum have to really think about this purge valve and how to get it hooked up. jim Tampa -----Original Message----- From: Don Mack [mailto:don@dmack.net] Subject: RE: RV-List: Airflow Performance bypass valve cabling question --> RV-List message posted by: "Don Mack" <don@dmack.net> It can be moved from about the 1 to 7 o'clock positions.

    Subject: Re: Air drills
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Elsa & Henry" <elsa-henry@darlor-watch.com> Well, back in 1995, I bought an air drill, drove my air compressor crazy,(and me too) and thinking of my electricity bill, consuming 2 KW for every few holes, I shelved it! I ended up using my trusty old Bosh 1/2" drill. It's made in Switzerland and runs up to 5000 RPM, is beautifully balanced, so no noticeable vibration at that speed. I have my duty #40 and #30 split-point drills on 6" brass extension rods, 1/4" dia. and the drill bits are held in place in the bores with Krazy Glue (Super Glue). Never had one skid on me! In fact, I never bought those expensive long "aviation" drills. I put extensions, long and short, on many other drills including short stubbies threaded 1/4-28 so they could be used in my right-angle drive. The beauty of having the drills on the extensions is that it is easier to "perpendicularize" the drill to the surface being drilled and guide into position. Another thing, when the drill gets dull, I heat the extension end with a propane torch and the drill comes out easily and a new one gets popped in easily with a drop of the glue. Can't do that with aviation drills, unless you are an expert on sharpening split-points! Later I bought a 9.6V Makita cordless which was used a lot. Cheers!!-------Henry Hore

Bringing the control cable up from below between cyls might work...is that a feasible option? John Brick Graham, WA RV-4 N474JB SNIP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. My problem was with the plenum. With the orientation we are discussing here, the cable has to come from the left side of the engine (so control knob in is 'run' position). The position of the valve, and the height of the center of the engine dictate how high the cable has to be as it crosses over the center portion of the engine... and the plenum is very close here. I had to fabricate 2 brackets to hold the cable; both of which are bolted to the center through-bolts of the crankcase halves. I could not bring the cable up from below as suggested by John because it just didn't line up correctly and would bind. One big caveat, however... if I had used the very simple cable (the kind that we don't use much on airplanes except for our heater cable), then none of this would have been an issue. Its the fact that the 'aircraft grade' cables have a rigid section for the last 10 inches or so that prohibit many potential innovative solutions. jim Tampa 6A 17 hours!

I too started out trying to save a few bucks and bought a $50 drill from ATS (a looong time ago). I have never been happy with it because it lacks a "teasing throttle" but I stuck with it until it finally died as I was finishing the fuselage. I spent about $100 or so then to get a second best drill from Avery because I was so close to finishing (I thought). I have kicked myself over and over for not spending the bucks to get a top quality drill originally. Just my $0.02 worth.

    --> RV-List message posted by: "jonweisw@rcn.com" <jonweisw@rcn.com> I plan on fuel injecting with dual lightspeed ignitions and am having a hard time deciding between the O-360-A1A (replace carb with airflow performance system, remove mags), or the IO-360M1B (remove mags). Does anyone have strong feelings about these engines one way or the other? Other than installation (or no installation) of the injector systems, were there any other major installation differences which make one a better choice than the other? Cosmesis (ie, scoop on botom of cowl vs no scoop) is of a lesser concern when it comes to this issue for me. Jon Weiswasser Canopy

The air drill used for my entire RV-6 project (and still using it) was the unbranded drill that came in the kit I bought from U.S. Industrial Tool and Supply. It appears to be similar to the inexpensive drills available from the building supply stores. First move was to remove the original keyed chuck and replace it with a keyless chuck from Home Depot. The keyless chuck saves a *lot* of time, and if doing it over, I would also buy another cheap air drill so two different size bits could remain loaded all the time. I hoisted a Sioux at some of our builder group meetings, and no doubt it is a fine piece of equipment. However, the el cheapo drill has given great service in my shop. Keep a small squirt can of Marvel Mystery Oil nearby and add a few drops to the nozzle of all your air tools occasionally. Sam Buchanan

    Subject: Re: FWF kits
    --> RV-List message posted by: Scott Brumbelow <csbrumbelow@fedex.com> Yes, and it wasn't much help. To be fair, it was just a "preliminary" list for the -8, but in reality, it was the same kit as for the -6/7/etc. (even assumed the cables for the center quadrant). I had already concocted a list - based on the -6 adjusted for what I thought would be different for the -8A and used it. Even then there were things that were not quite right. Check though, to see if Vans has "finalized" the list for the -8. Even with all of my planning, I have still had to swap the occasional item or order something additional. csb "jonweisw@rcn.com" wrote: > --> RV-List message posted by: "jonweisw@rcn.com" <jonweisw@rcn.com> > > Has anyone used Van's firewall forward kit for the RV-8 with either a O-360 > A1A, or IO-360M1B?

    Subject: Re: Airflow Performance bypass valve cabling question
    --> RV-List message posted by: DJB6A@cs.com I have the purge valve on the right with the arm moving horizontally. I also am making, should finish it this weekend, a fiberglass, tight fitting plenum. I made a bracket to fit between the engine casing and the cluster, filed down the spacers, Used 1/4 " angle and cut most of the one angle off on the top side. The cable comes through the baffle on the left, and then makes a 90 degree curve (not tight bend) to the bracket. The arm, relative to front 12 o'clock, goes from about 2 to 11. I have one of Wick's screw type cable ends on the cable, but had to turn it so that the cable attach fitting is underneath the arm, otherwise it hits the plenum. I pull the knob to purge - start and push it to close - fly. That way it is out of the way when flying. I have the purge cable on the right side of mixture - fixed pitch no prop cable, so I know it needs to be in when flying. Dave Burnham 6A Superior AirFlow etc. IL

    Subject: Re: Headset/Mic jacks
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Rick Jory" <rickjory@msn.com> On an 8A it is easy to put the jacks on the lower right console . . . I actually used the surface that slants "back" toward the firewall. This keeps the plugs out of the way and the headset cable pretty much away from the rear seater's footwell. For the rear seater, I built a small aluminum structure that is up on the longeron in the panel ahead of the rear seat armrest. This makes it easy for the rear seater to see where/how the headset gets plugged in.

    Subject: Re: Headset/Mic jacks
    --> RV-List message posted by: Rob Prior <rv7@b4.ca> An idea that i've been kicking around in the back of my mind for the time when I get that far along is to mount the jacks high on the rear baggage bulkhead, one on each side of the cockpit, but each in line with the seat in front of it. I guess that would be above the shoulder harness attach points? It's extra wiring to get them back there, but it has the benefit of getting most of the cabling out of the "working space" of the cockpit, and when you're not using the headset you could hang it from it's plugs where they stick out of the wall (or put a hook right above them if you're worried about stress on the plugs/jacks). Being out of the area where you're moving around would also mean you're less likely to hit the ANR power switch or volume sliders if you have a Lightspeed headset... Don't ask how I know this would be a benefit ("gee, nobody talking at the airport today... must be quiet"). -RB4 Ed_Cole@maximhq.com wrote: > --> RV-List message posted by: Ed_Cole@maximhq.com > > I'm looking for a creative place to mount the headset/mic jacks on a -6A. > On my flying -6A they are mounted in the aft section of the armrests > which is okay but I'd like some different ideas and opinions. > > Has anyone mounted them in the rear window brace that goes between > the rollbar and the baggage bulkhead? > > Ed Cole > RV6A N2169D Flying > RV6A N648RV Finishing > Maxim Home Page: > http://www.maxim-ic.com > Products Page: > http://www.maxim-ic.com/MaximProducts/products.htm > New Products: > http://dbserv.maxim-ic.com/new_products.cfm > Datasheets: > http://dbserv.maxim-ic.com/l_datasheet3.cfm > The information contained in this message is confidential > and may be legally privileged.

    --> RV-List message posted by: "Dan Checkoway" <dan@rvproject.com> Sort of straying from the topic, but am I the only builder out there who is going to use helicopter jacks? Single coiled cord, single jack, one short plug, no fuss no muss. I'm probably going to install the jacks up on the canopy frame (tip-up). Obviously I'll have my heli-to-GA Y-adapter stowed somewhere in the plane in case somebody insists on bringing along a sloppy two-plug GA headset. Am I crazy? This seems more logical in a small-cabin setup to me. I always liked how heli headset cables/jacks were designed (overhead, short single coiled cord). )_( Dan RV-7 N714D (fuselage) http://www.rvproject.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob Prior" <rv7@b4.ca> Subject: Re: RV-List: Headset/Mic jacks > --> RV-List message posted by: Rob Prior <rv7@b4.ca> > > An idea that i've been kicking around in the back of my mind for the > time when I get that far along is to mount the jacks high on the rear > baggage bulkhead, one on each side of the cockpit, but each in line with > the seat in front of it.

    Subject: Air drills
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Kenneth Beene" <kbeene@citilink.com> I completed my RV-6A with an Avery low priced air drill. It still works as it did when new. However, when I started my RV-4 I purchased the Sioux 1412 3600 RPM 1/4 inch drill motor. If it fits your budget this is definitely the way to go. I still use the 3/8 inch Avery which is made in Japan, use a cheap Northern Tools 3/8" angle drill, DeWalt cordless and drill press. The cordless is great for larger holes and the Unibit. The Sioux high RPM is important when drilling a 40 size hole. The light weight and trigger on the Sioux really feels good. Think of it in cost per hole for about 50,000 holes - I'm sure you will want to build more than one RV. Ken

    Subject: Re: Headset/Mic jacks
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Jim Sears" <sears@searnet.com> I was going to answer this one off line; but, I decided to chime in on line to maybe give someone else another idea. I have my jacks on the lower portion of the F605 on each side just above the floor. In fact, the bodies are hidden in the flap lift arm area behind the cover plate so I can look at them each time I do the flap inspection at annual time. I ran the wires under the arm rests to hide them from view. The reason I put my jacks behind me was to keep the wires out of my way. Although I've had jacks in the panel before, I never did like them there because the wires hung in the way, all the time. Now, they don't. When I'm done for the day, I hang the headsets on the little hangers I made and placed at the front of the brace that runs from the roll bar to the baggage compartment wall at the top. Nothing fancy. Just function. As a side note, I just installed a set of jacks on the F621 just in front of the panel on my friend's RV-9A project. He wanted his up front. That was the easiest place to put them because his panel is pretty full on the left side. It works for him; but, I don't like them there for me. I must admit they were a bit easier than mine to install, though. :-) Jim Sears in KY RV-6A N198JS EAA Tech Counselor

I can't imagine a situation where one would see 1.5 gal savings either. I have the LASAR system, which advances almost as much as the Lightspeed and is like having dual Lightspeeds since it is on both plugs. I have played around at cruise by shutting it down and going back to 25 degree magneto advance, and have noted a two to three knot reduction in airspeed, and a large drop in EGT. What I will do on the next long cross country is to set up some carefully leaned settings with the LASAR on, then shut down the LASAR and reset power and leaning to get the same IAS. If I do this several times back and forth, some understanding of the real savings can be determined. Anyone else planning to do this be aware of the advance schedule built into the LASAR - it starts various timers limiting advance for the first XX minutes of operation, so one would have to account for that.

    --> RV-List message posted by: "DANIEL W WATTERS" <danielwatters1@msn.com> I would like to thank everyone who responded to my message concerning which RV I should order considering my size. I received so many messages it would take a long time to respond to each individually. I even received telephone numbers. After reading all the messages and rereading the brochure I have decided on the -9A. As the brochure states you can't go wrong with any of the RV models. The -8A would be a fantastic choice but, in my opinion, more expensive to build. I would have to have the 200 hp engine. The 7 is another great airplane but I don't need to do aerobatics. I just want an easy flying, slow landing, cross country cruiser. There are good arguments for each model. I feel I can be comfortable in the -9A. Thanks again to all who responded. You can now feel responsible for the complete destuction of my savings account. Dan Watters

    Subject: Re: Hours for wiring...
    --> RV-List message posted by: David Aronson <aronsond@pacbell.net> Bill & Listers: I have finally finished the electrical of my RV4. Pretty complex schematic that Bob at AEC helped with. Dual Alternators, all electric, 60amp, Essenc. Bus, Main Bus, Bat bus, EFIS, two coms, T&B, VM1000, Dual sticks operating flaps, radio flip/flop, PTT, Transponder Ident, Autopilot track, Accutrak Autopilot, Seat warmers front and back, on and on and on..... I started the system, after all instruments and all components were located and no fabrication except to drill for adel clamps and passage ways for cable. The time, 240 hours plus or minus 50 hours that could be counted as other things like mounting antennas. Remember, you have to wire pins for each instrument that someone hasnt made a harness for, each wire needs to be pre-planned, put in place and then moved a few times as the bulk grows and the ideal path becomes TOO SMALL. Then you have to keep testing it, refining, fixing the screwups, etc. re-designing as your best plans are inadequate as the monster grows. Then you lay there at night thinking, "If I am going to have an autopilot this is the time, and so on for Wig-Wag, Cooling fan, Seat warmers, stick control requiring relays and special connectors and soldering 26guage wires, etc. SOOOO. When you are finished and you sit in your aircraft, first time hit the master and then turn your instruments on and test each circuit. When you finally tune your radio to the local freq. and hear the traffic above through your own headsets, When you push the button on the stick and the flap motor whines away and the radio frequency changes, WOW! It also could go Pfft! Would I do it again, You bet your #*S. We do these things for the feeling of accomplishment and maybe to save money too. The payoff is well worth it. I have already felt like a million when someone who comes by to look says, "Did you do this?" ---"Sure, it was easy, your could do it in a snap".

    --> RV-List message posted by: "Karie Daniel" <karied4@attbi.com> This sort of talk makes me nervious! I know there are other 7 builders lurking out there that have been waiting. Well forget it, I made the nice lady at Vans walk out to the shipping container with my kit in and spray paint my name on it.

    Subject: Re: Carpet attachment?
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Randall Henderson" <randallh@attbi.com> > Good question - but I haven't weighed the hardboard (the only real > increment over sticking carpet to the bare floor) so I cannot say for sure. [snip] Hardboard. Hmmm. I'd really reconsider that one. A few pounds here, a few pounds there, eventually you end up like me with 37 POUNDS worth of interior panels, seats, carpets, etc. -- and that's WITHOUT any hardboard! Ever since I stuck that heavy (but admittedly very pretty and comfy) interior in my plane, I've spent a lot of time trying to trim ounces off wherever I can. It's not that I want to haul a lot of baggage around. But every extra pound really does rob the plane of some of its crisp, snappy flying qualities. Take those floorboards for example -- why not just use .032 AL? It may seem kind of thin for standing on, but think about it -- there's carpet on the top and insulation underneath to support -- shoot, .025 would probably even work. I recommend reading Don Wentzs' missive "An Aviordupois Dilemma", in the RVator (3rd issue 2002.) Good wisdom from a guy who's had firsthand experience with both a heavy and light RV.
