Also I'm using the Infinity grip and want to use the frequency change function on the KX155. You could save me a lot of headaches if you've got it. Also I've got a KN53-00 I'll be selling when I install the 155. I'ts two years old since factory recondition and it still looks new and you can come go flying with me now to see that it functions perfectly.

The Softcomm seems to have great features for a comparable or less price. The factory and other flying RVs seem to have predominantly the Flightcom - especially with the round faceplate.

In fact I'm surprised by some posts in which the builders said they did nothing to anchor the flap hinge pins because they were tough to feed them in. Sooner or later they might loosen-up and the pilot may find his aileron movement impaired!! The info given to you by Gus is exactly what I did on mine. See my post of 2/28 detailing what I did. If you are worried that the outboard hinge-eye may break-off (with the cotter-pin) and you want to retain capability to remove the pin at some time later, you could install a brass ferrule with a grub-screw on the inboard end of the pin, akin to an old radio knob but with the hole diameter to fit the pin. ---------Cheers!!---Henry Hore . ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 07:44:01 AM PST US From: "thomas a. sargent" Subject: Re: RV-List: Flap Hinge Pin Safety? --> RV-List message posted by: "thomas a. sargent" Henry: The brass ferrule is a good idea. I did think about the pin fouling the aileron, though. To further complicate matters, somehow my aileron bracket slightly overlapped and interfered with the end of the flap hinge by about 1/8". I could have just cut half of the last hinge eye off, but the possibility of interference, should the pin back out, bother me. So, after discussing it with Vans, I cut a notch about 1/4" deep in the edge of the inboard aileron bracket - the A-607 that is mounted to the aileron. I had to do it on both ailerons. It is now impossible for the flap hinge pin to foul the A-607. I think the amount of weakening to the aileron is negligble. I hope the DAR agrees with me when that day comes!

The Z shaped rear spar on my RV9 is bowed up 3/16" vertical in the center of the spar. The right wing is bowed down 1/32". Van's engineer says no problem, but I would like the opinion of the knowledgeable builders on the list. Is this something that will not affect the appearance and flying qualities of the plane or should it be replaced. The spar is riveted but the wing is not. The spar cannot be straightened since the bow is through the web.

Originally I was going to order it from Batteries4Everything.com, which had it slightly cheaper, but here's the deal: I shopped around for cheaper alternatives to the PC680, such as the P174-ND and P231-ND (both Panasonic) from Digi-Key. The problem I had with those two models, while they are MUCH cheaper and possibly a few ounces lighter than the Odyssey, is that they have higher internal resistance (12 and 11 milliohms respectively, compared to the Odyssey's 7 milliohms)...and they also have a very slightly different form factor. I didn't want to screw around with that. For $30 more I'll have the peace of mind that I'm using what Van's uses (I know that's a somewhat passive approach, but oh well). Buying from Sunn Battery there's no sales tax since they're in Florida (I'm in CA), they don't charge any handling fees (that I could see), and shipping is FIXED at $5.50 for Priority Mail. It worked out to $80.09 door-to-door. Batteries4Everything, while having a $12 cheaper price, is in CA...so there would be sales tax. Plus they tack on a handling fee. Then, having to ship 15 pounds via UPS (possibly hazmat?), would probably end up being more expensive in the end. Hope this helps if you're still looking to buy the PC680. )_( Dan RV-7 N714D (finish) http://www.rvproject.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Subject: Thank you for your order - #4779 > Dear Dan Checkoway, > > Thank You for your order.

The only thing I thought was funny was that when I called them to order, the lady told me it would cost me more over the phone than it would if I ordered online. She said she was the one that took online orders also but It was cheaper online so I hung up and ordered it online. As you said Batteries4everything was a little cheaper but they had to back order it at the time I was shopping. So far I am really happy with that little Odyssey-PC680. Jerry do not archive.

Sorta. Actually it's there to keep them from moving too much and causing cracks. I wouldn't use pro-seal as it is way to early to order and you won't need it for anything else until it's fuel tank time. It has a short shelf life, and it ain't cheap. Go to the auto parts store and get some Blue RTV and use that.

I am a pilot who built a plane and not a A&P or pro of any kind, but we just put a countersunk pop rivet in the hole. No rubbing on the aileron and NO way the hingle pin can come out. Drill it out when you need to work on the flap and then re pop rivet the hole. Keep it simple _______ (KISS) works for me.
