I purchased one a few weeks ago and changed my mind, deciding not to use it. There's nothing wrong with it and it is new in box, uninstalled. Bob takes returns but charges a 15% restocking fee. If you get it from him it will cost you $156 including shipping. If anybody wants this one before I return it to Bob, I'll let it go for $140 *including shipping* anywhere in the U.S. If you want to see the specs on it go to the website at: http://users.easystreet.com/bhaan/wigwag.pdf It's a nice solid state unit with all the features you could want...bulb warmer, LED indicators, multiple modes, etc...and can be controlled via low power switches from a stick grip if you like. --Mark Navratil Cedar Rapids, Iowa RV-8A N2D might finish someday if I could make up my mind what to install....

If the plans call for AN4-x bolt I start with AN3-x. Put it through the area insert the washers and then put the actual size bolt in from the other side. Washers can still be a bit tricky but easier with the smaller bolt. If the plans call for AN3-x bolt I usually use a smaller piece of rod to start.

Then disassemble. "superglue" the washers to the inside of the brackets using the right size bolt to align them. Then carefully re-assemble. Super glue holds the washers in place while you insert the bolts.

As a modeler I've got several flavors of CA glue around. If you buy some buy the thicker stuff as it is easier to work with. I simply put a very small drop on the washer and place it against the appropriate part. After assembly you the washer can be broken loose to serve its appropriate function. Darwin N.

They connect from the cable bolts to the firewall, one on each side. Pulled the spring on the right side a little tighter. It took a little trial and error but now it's pretty close. This also keeps your rudder from flapping in the breeze and keeps your cables taught when parked on the ramp. Tried to get a hold of you a couple times to have lunch or go flying but no luck???

It's not. Just before touch-down you're in a flare (unless doing wheel landings), so adjusting the landing light with tail down is probably better. Unless, of course, you have super bright landing lights that will illuminate the runway 1/2 mile away.

What I did was make a "U" shaped slot on the end of each strip so that a washer would be a tight fit in that slot, but filed a bit wider near the top and sides of the "U" so that the washer would snap in there and stay in place until you fed it to its final location and got the bolt through. The example of the bolting of the ailerons to their bearings is a good one because you can't get any wide tools in there. That is also true of connecting the control rods to the stick/control column. Where two or more washers in series are required, I used "Krazy Glue" (Super Glue) to hold them together. I also used that glue in locations to hold the washer to the bolt head.- Example: The bolts that hold the wing's out-board nose-ribs to the main spar had to have their washers next to the bolt head filed with a flat to clear the rib's web at several locations My manual (~1995) also stated that it may be necessary to also file the bolt head. NOT a good practice! Luckily I was able to circumvent that! So I lined-up the washer-flat with a bolt-flat, applied a drop of glue and marked the head with an arrow so I could position it correctly when looking through from the tip-rib with a mirror taped to stick. Worked fine! Cheers!!-------Henry Hore (RV6-A C-GELS) ________________________________ Message 18 ____________________________________ Time: 07:43:18 AM PST US From: "C.

However, before the introduction of the sheared tips (on the -9a I think), the Hoerner style was used as the standard, so they should STILL FIT FINE from the -4 to the -8, which includes also the, you guessed it, -SEVEN! There is no such thing as ". . . only the 6 style wingtip", but it is rather Vans OLD ones, versus Vans NEW ones (which I could put on my -6a wings, if I would care to go a bit slower by installing them). No offense to the Sheared Tip Guy's & Gal's, but I do prefer the flat tops myself. Therefore: There are Tip-Tanks available for the -7, and they are in the form of the old Style Hoerner Tips. BTW, I have a set of the factory TipTank's (for the enclosed Whelen 650's), and the quality of workmanship is outstandingly fine.

If you want to get sophisticated, notch the stick to look like an open ended wrench so that you can bottom out the washer and pull the stick out of the way. Variation of principle works with the nuts too. Use nylon ties to fasten a small open end/box wrench to a small dowel, etc. to start nuts in hard to reach places.

It was $58.00 if you want it. Now on the certifies types, they put a relay in line so the low current switch on the control wheel can disconnect it. You can short ago two wires & not use it. I ran the power for the servo through a switch on the panel. Only difference is I will disconnect for a turn & then reconnect. Saves weight, although I didn't get the relay with the unit & anything you get from Century is priced like Gold. The drawing shows all the connectors. Century uses "standard connectors". By that i mean most radios shops can get them for you. The 52D75-3 does not have a Tracker board & the -4 does. The M suffix means it has internal lighting. I got one of those good deals used. I never got around to installing the servo. Since May I can't find time to do anything but FLY. It lasted 10 hours & the gyro died. Century wants $1100.00 for an exchange. The servo looks large for the area under the seat but I think it can be done. I plan on getting a Navaide, I think their gyro is $200.00 when it goes.

In my case, I have the triple lights (position fwd grn/red, white aft, and strobe) mounted on my wingtips so I don't need lights aft. All I need is a NAV antenna. If you are putting a light in the tail it would normally go on the bottom of the rudder with a strobe built in or the strobe on top of the elevator. If you're wiring lighting back there, you'll have low power for the white and high power for the strobe...don't forget adequate bonding/grounding. I ran an antenna wire up forward of the forward VS spar with a standoff at the center rib (there isn't a forward rib there) with three grommets in the unibitted tooling holes in the top anb bottom ribs and the standoff. I also built a hat section to mount the antenna on with a backing plate for the top rib. Before I closed it up, I ran a string through the three grommets...I have since installed my antenna on top of the VS tip rib (it fits inside the VS cap except for the two whiskers and the wiring ran through very easily.

As much as I don't like playing devil's advocate somewhat on this issue, I feel the need to make some comments. I have read many of the comments on the government site and see many arguments against the arbitrary revocation of an Airman certificate as a violation of a constitutional 'right'. In this context, holding an Airman's certificate is really a 'privilege', and not a 'right'. Constitutionally speaking, there is no defined 'right' to be able to fly a plane. By the fact that an individual must meet certain criteria to be able to legally hold an Airman's certificate (read, write, speak English, be of certain medical condition, go through training and a passing a test standards, etc.) also proves this point. A constitutional right would not have a set of standards that need to be met by the individual for it to be valid. While some may argue that flying should be a 'right', I think the majority of us would have to agree that there needs to be some set of qualificat! ion standards to be given the green-light to fly a plane in this country, thus, relegating the act to 'privilege' status. Accordingly, however, the regulation/approval/denial of this should be fair and open, and that is what I think we should be lobbying for, and not trying to argue a case on the issue of constitutionality.

I made the vert. stab. tip removable for access to the area. You might decide to install an antennae or a strobe up there. As things stand now (doing wiring) I don't expect to use the vertical stab tip to mount anything. My opinion is that a strobe up there could be more annoying than useful. Antennas elsewhere will fulfill my needs for now. I will leave the tubing in place for now. Things can still be changed.

In other words you can be required to hold a licence that indicates competence (or is supposed to, anyway), but that licence can only be taken away from you if you demonstrate lack of competence (i.e. by breaking highway laws). So it is your right, in Canada, to drive a car, it is NOT a priviledge.

By the fact that an individual must meet certain criteria to be able to legally hold an Airman's certificate (read, write, speak English, be of certain medical condition, go through training and a passing a test standards, etc.) also proves this point. A constitutional right would not have a set of standards that need to be met by the individual for it to be valid. While some may argue that flying should be a 'right', I think the majority of us would have to agree that there needs to be some set of qualificat! >ion standards to be given the green-light to fly a plane in this country, thus, relegating the act to 'privilege' status. Accordingly, however, the regulation/approval/denial of this should be fair and open, and that is what I think we should be lobbying for, and not trying to argue a case on the issue of constitutionality. > >Phil >8a wings > Hi Phil, Here's a link for your review. http://memory.loc.gov/const/bor.html I call your attention to items IV, V, VI, VIII, IX, and X.

They are NOT sealed beam and use H-4 Quartz Halogen bulbs ( 130/90 WATT) . High beam for landing / low beam for taxi . These are super bright lights , like your auto lights. They mounted in the leading edge skin just inboard of the wingtip . The landing light would aim slightly down ,in level flight, in my RV-4 /the taxi is low beam,so it aims down lower in taxi mode. I am not building these any more . I DO have replacement parts for past customers. Bob Olds A&P , EAA Tech.

So, next time you are at Harbor Freight / Home Depot / Lowe's, etc.etc. you might want to look in their Pneumatic Tool Dept. These oilers normally come in a combo to include water separator and pressure regulator as well. Good Luck Shopping!

In the rivet gun I use about 2 or 4 drops and not too often, maybe every fifth or sixth extended use. I try to avoid having the gun oiled so much that it mists out of the exhaust port. It can make for headaches come painting time I oil my air tools at the end of usage rather than at the start. Just before putting the tools away I add the drops of oil then I operate the tools long enough to disperse the oil into the tool and put them away. This way they have some protection while not in use and are ready for the next cycles of use.

This will really smack you up the side of the head at painting time! I have not found a gun mounted oiler that I could set fine enough and that would control the oil commensurate to the on and off use that my rivet gun gets. "Air tool oil" works best.
