Guys
plane.

Why am I selling my Harmon Rocket? I love it, and I love building them.
This is my second HRII and I am now working on a F1 which will fly in a
couple of months. My first plane was a RV4. Remember how fun it was when
you first flew your RV, the rocket just takes that fun to another level.
They are not for everyone, but if you have the pilot and building skills,
they are a blast to fly.

So is it a good idea to "flame" the machined parts of your canopy before you
screw, rivet and glue it down to the plane?

I've had mine panel mounted since 1999. Works fine, display is better
at night.

NO!!!!!
Just file, sand it smooth, when plastic is melted which is what you
are doing by flame polishing it also tends to harden the area and
become more brittle.

Tim,
Garmin's #196 was not even around in 1999, unless you had a very early BETA
Version?
So what exactly did you mount in 1999? The 195 or 295 perhaps?

It is probably better to do it before you screw etc. :-) Better still,
don't do it at all!!.
I think someone who has many years of plexiglass experience said never do
it. He might have even been the factory or quoting it. You might check
the archives. However, I had TAP Plastics in San Jose make some sun visors
for an airplane in the early ninties. They flamed the edges and in a few
years they crazed very badly.
I believe you can finish the edges by heating the entire piece evenly. My
understanding is that it is the uneven heating that does the damage. Heat
is used to form the plexi anyway.

| Subject: | Langley Fly-in 2003 |
--> RV-List message posted by: Tedd McHenry <tedd@vansairforce.org>
The Langley Aero Club and Van's Air Force Western Canada Wing are holding the
second annual Langley RV Fly-in on Saturday, June 7, 2003 at Langley airport
(CYNJ), in Langley, British Columbia. It'll will be essentially identical to
last year's fly-in, only with better weather. Keep an eye on the Fly-in web
page for details,
http://www.vansairforce.org/CYNJ
Perhaps you're already the proud owner of a flying RV. Lucky you! Then you may
and to show off your beautiful airplane. There's also a Furthest RV award, for
the RV that flies the furthest distance to get there. There will be plenty of
space on the field for parking. You can come for the day, camp on the field,
or stay in one of the hotels near the airport. There are links to the local
Travelodge on the web page.
Currently building an RV? Then you'll enjoy our seminars. The seminar
schedule isn't set yet, but you can expect sessions on building, safety,
probably engines, and perhaps more. I'll be making more announcements as
details are set.
Are you an RV wannabe? Seriously thinking about building one, but unsure about
what's involved, the cost, the time commitment? Worried that you don't have
the skills? Then you may want to attend the seminar I'll be giving,
"Introduction to RV Building." The seminar will cover those basic questions,
and others, and will be a place where you can ask whatever's on your mind about
the building process. We hope to have a representative from Van's there, as
well.
If you just like to look at RVs, this is probably going to be your best chance
inside Canada this year. There are about 40 RVs registered in B.C., and we
hope to have a sizeable portion of them at Langley. Last year we had 23 RVs,
despite almost none from Canada being able to make it, due to weather. We hope
to have all the great RVs we had last year, plus all those who wanted to come
but couldn't due to weather, and maybe a few more.
Naturally, we're encouraging anyone who wants to fly in, regardless of what
type of airplane they have. If you plan to attend, and especially if you plan
to fly in, please take the time to write me at tedd@vansairforce.org or, if you
prefer, sign the Guest Book on the Fly-in web page.
http://www.vansairforce.org/CYNJ/guestbook/lac_sign.html
That will help us plan facilities such as food, washrooms, and customs for U.S.
visitors.

| Subject: | 0-320 EXP missing crankshaft propeller oil tube |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Jack Lockamy" <jacklockamy@att.net>
Okay, guys (and gals?), I need some help.
I'm trying to convert my 0-320-EXP from fixed pitch to a constant speed prop.
I removed the front crankshaft expansion plug (p/n STD 1211), and cleaned the
build-up of oil/sludge in the nose of the crankshaft. While referring to the
Lycoming Overhaul Manual to determine the correct orientation of the crankshaft
rear expansion plug, the manual mentions to...."install a new plug by sliding
it sideways past the crankshaft propeller oil tube".... . Well, there is NO
tube running through my crankshaft! Crankshaft p/n: LW-17031 s/n: 62V7942.
Am I missing something (or a part) here? Are there some cranks which do not have
the tube but will still work for a c/s prop set-up? Or do I have a Fixed Pitch
ONLY crank which will require changing in order to go Constant Speed?
Thanks,

Actually I have a few questions here.
What did most people use to trim the HS404? I'm thinking about buying a
band saw because it seems to me that will be the easiest way to make this
cut and all similar cuts in the future. I've tried aluminum snips but they
seem to make ugly cuts. I bought a pair of left and right handed snips at
Home Depot but I haven't tried those yet. Does anyone know if the snips from
home depot will be any different than the ones at Avery or other aircraft
tool suppliers? Also, is it really necessary to pay $30 for a 24" steel
ruler? Has anyone found these at a normal tool supply company at a more
reasonable prices than over a dollar an inch?
