However, there is no mention of riveting the actual canopy frame skin to the canopy frame. How can I fit the plexi with clecoes sticking out of the canopy frame? Do I go ahead and rivet it together now? Bob Hartley RV9A CA Bob......are you talking about the C-702 Canopy forward Skin? On page 9-8 in my manual it tells you to rivet it and the C-603 side skins on after the plexi is fitted and drilled, and the side skins are fitted and drilled. You can leave out the clecos that interfere with the plexi if you use this method. However, as I recall, I had already riveted the forward skin before this. Just read ahead, and make sure you are not going to mess up a sequence before you decide to rivet it. Pay close attention to the area where the front and side skins come together, and the 614 splice plate, the ball stud mount, and the 723 wedge spacer go. In this section of the manual, there were several instances where I felt they had the sequences messed up.

That strip of skin would overlap the fuselage side skin by about 1/2" or 3/4" or so............... Dan.......if you do this, you will need to install canopy guides on the roll bar which guide the latches very accurately straight down as the canopy closes the last couple of inches. This is a good idea anyway, but would be even more necessary in this case. As you open or close the canopy, lifting from one side, it will twist slightly. This would cause the skins you describe to hit the canopy deck. Even without your overlaping skin, the corner of the plexi will bump the roll bar as it closes. UHMW guides which engage the latches as it comes down will keep the rear of the canopy centered. Also be aware that the sides of the canopy frame will have to be fitted to conform very closely to the curve of the longerons in this area......not too easy to do with extreme accuracy. Mine sure doesn't match that close. Good Luck, let us know how it works.

Have you clecoed the skins on yet? It seems to me that if the pre-punched skins will cleco on and fit well, top and bottom, then the wing must come out straight. If they will not cleco on properly, then the answer is obvious.......Van's should replace the spar.

Worked great! It goes on easily, can be purchased locally if you have a Marine supplier nearby, and a 3 oz. squeeze tube only cost me $6. BTW.... I also used this sealant when I installed Van's NACA vents to the sidewalls in my Sonex. The stuff is incredibly strong when cured.

Also, it can be used on the canopy as a bead between the canopy and the skirts around the plexi. You can also use T-88 or some other epoxy to glue the trailing edge. I'd be tempted to use one of the 15 minute or 1-hour epoxies you can find at any hardware or home improvement store. That way, you could glue, wait a couple of hours, and go ahead and rivet the assembly. Sometimes, particularly if temps are cold or you don't add enough catalyst, proseal can take a week or more to cure.

Once you get it to within a 1/16th or so, the skins, flap brace, gap seal, etc. will serve to lock it in position. One method to straighten the spar is to support the ends (with the web vertical) on a couple of sawhorses with the bow toward the ceiling. At the high point, use cargo strap (not rope, so the pressure is spread) to hang a bucket in which you place weight until the spar is slightly reflexed. Remove the weight and see how much springback you got; add more weight and repeat as necessary. Go slow, you don't want to bend the spar the other way.

But how did you anchor the flap hinge-pin to prevent it moving out and fouling the steel A607 aileron bracket? I don't know if the design has changed since 1995 when I got my kit, but on my build (to then plans), with the access hole for the flap hinge pin-drilled in the W413, if the pin slid outboard, it would definitely hit he A607 and interfere with aileron movement, unless you slotted the A607 as Tom Sargent did. Otherwise filling the hole in the W413 serves no purpose. That's why I put the cotter-pin in as I stated in my post 2/28.

I will not rivet it right now and start the plexi fitting as suggested by another builder as well. I guess I'll just remove all the clecoes that cause interference.

If your skins are not primed inside, ask for the electronic grade RTV - it doesn't produce any corrosive byproducts as it cures. This has been discussed before and you can check the archives; IIRC, it is sometimes difficult to locate the electronic grade RTV. I think it's because the clerks at the hardware store don't know what the different types of RTV are; I found my tube at an ACE store when still in Chicago - but the store clerks had no idea what I was talking about. Oddly enough, I have never been able to find it at an electronic supply...

The manual suggests the fuel tank sealant (pro-seal). I have a newer kit with the RV-9 rudder.

The original poster indicated that the data stream from the GPS 35 did no have this cross track error information in the data stream. This is perfectly logical, since the GPS 35 is only a GPS receiver and does not have course information or waypoints. It merely generates the data stream of current position. It has no clue about where you want to go! That's where the AnywhereMap comes in, AnywhereMap understands the course and waypoint information. The only way to make the GPS 35 drive a Navaid would be to have the Anywhere map software merge the GPS 35 data stream with the course correction data on a seperate serial interface that could then be sent to the smart coupler.

I'll probably get flamed here, but I didn't use a thing and my T/E came out straight as an arrow. I was just VERY carefull when doing the final riveting. I only set the rivets partially every 10th rivet or so, then did the same thing over and over untill all rivets were partially set. Then I went back and set them for good. Using a good backriveting plate and patience, there should be no reason you can't have a good T/E. Keep in mind, this isn't my 1st or 2nd project, so you might want to take experience into consideration.

Search for nosewheel and fairing and alexpeterson, much has been discussed about this rather "weak" design, and how to make it better. Most of Van's designs are truly elegant, but the nosewheel fairing mounting design just might get the award for weakest.

However, there are other options. Try searching the archives with "peterson" & "nosewheel" to see what a fellow builder on the list has done. (Basically use a few screws and blind nuts vice rivets to fasten the alum. bracket which the axle bolt passes through to the fiberglass - somewhat like the mainwheel pants use). (I wish I had come across this idea before the riveted my nosewheel fairing barckets in place and painted the whole thing. A bit late now but I'll see how it flies and think about changing later. Maybe there will not be many occaisions when nosewheel fairing removal is needed.)

I used a 1/4 inch set on one side of the squeezer and a 1/2 on the other. Keep the 1/2 inch on the top and position the 1/4 inch as far forward as you can on the bottom side. This way you can squeeze the rivet down without touching the bottom side almost all the way. I held the TE straight during this operation by clamping a 1 1/2 X 1 1/2 inch Home depot al angle to the part just in from of the rivets. I then back riveted it to get the bottom of the rivet flush. Came out true and was done in very short order.

Just a wild guess, but I'd say that it probably was undersized intentionally so that the manufacturer (you) could ream it out in assembly for the right class of fit. Are the new kits really so complete now that you can just assemble them to this stage without the need to drill or ream holes? -GV (RV-6A N1GV 593hrs) ________________________________ Message 35 ____________________________________ Time: 07:30:17 PM PST US Subject: Re: RV-List: Odyssey Battery (best source these days) From: Denis Walsh --> RV-List message posted by: Denis Walsh > --> RV-List message posted by: "Ed Bundy" > > I think I'm going to replace my Concord with one of these also.

This was with the 625, which may be a better choice than the 680, who knows? My 625 has threaded post and my 680 has a threaded hole. I was able to scrunch the old leads in to place and add some wood spacers to the box, with out much trouble. The reason I have two of these beauties is my original odyssey is over two years old, but is still showing great strength so have been too lazy ( and cold) to swap out.

Most of us put a 7/8" diameter hole in each pant the right distance for the axle and fill thru it with an extension. Cover the hole with a plastic or metal cap. -GV (RV-6A N1GV 593hrs) ________________________________ Message 38 ____________________________________ Time: 07:41:22 PM PST US From: "Russ Alnutt" Subject: RV-List: Free speed --> RV-List message posted by: "Russ Alnutt" I wish to share something with all RVers. I discovered this by accident. If you put a reverse scoop on the belly of your plane towards the back you will likely pickup about 5mph. I did this because I thought that the cockpit had to much positive pressure and couldn't get out. I was partially right. When you let the air out of the back the sliding canopy does not go our as far and the speed increases. Try it it will only cost you a little time. rsalnutt@inreach.com ________________________________ Message 39 ____________________________________ Time: 08:36:35 PM PST US From: "Dr. Leathers" Subject: Re: RV-List: Free speed --> RV-List message posted by: "Dr. Leathers" RUSS, Can you post a picture of your scoop?
