--> RV-List message posted by: KAKlewin@aol.com
Well according to the FAA I have been running drugs in my RV!!! Got a call from
the alabama FSDO (called my wife actually as I am deployed with the military
overseas)...so I called the guy back and it seems that an Aztec penetrated the
ADIZ on the 7th of March with the n-number N85KC...it was intercepted by navy
FA-18s, but escaped somehow...so they got the number and began calling me...this
would of course be because I have had that number reserved for the last 3
years!!! I called the FAA guy and explained that my plane is still safely in
the garage, doesn't even have an engine installed, and looks no where near like
an Aztec. Not to mention the fact that I was out of the country on the day
in question. So he is asking me to make a statement to explain just what I have
told you. I have several concerns, as maybe we all should regarding this...
1. Due to the fact that our N-numbers are available in the national database that
is accessable to everyone druggies can get n-numbers that "check-out", but
dont have an aircraft type associated with them due to their reserved status.
I would guess this is where they got my N-number.
2. From having tracked drug runners in the military I remember there being a database
(we called it EPIC..El Pase Information Center) which tracked ADIZ penetration
aircraft...so when you file a flight plan you are tagged as a possible
drug aircraft if that N-number has been investigated before. So for you FAA
types...what can I do to ensure that my N-Number is not in some FBI, Customs,
EPIC database???
3. I dont want to change my n-number due to panel engraving, etc that I have done...I
really want to find that airplane and get the feds to remove my number!!!
So if you see it let me know!!!!
Pissed....

I'm looking for innovative ideas for constructing an armrest/console between the
seats of my 7A. Mike Stewart has a nice armrest but his website has only
one
picture of it taken after his beautiful interior was completed.....Mike,
any
additional info/pics on it?
I know there are lots of great design modifications out there and would appreciate
reading/seeing your ideas. Thanks.............

Roger,
How about another option with the manual trim? I just updated my website to include
some pictures of my relocated manual trim control. To get the trim knob mounitng
plate and fuel selector housing out of the way, I relocated the trim knob
between the seats and angle the fuel selector housing down in the front. This
keeps them both out of the way!

Actually, the RV is a rather poor drug running craft.
1. Its small size and limited payload prevents it from hauling large
bundles of weed. As such, it is useful for only small, high dollar
payloads.
2. Its all metal construction makes the aircraft highly visible to radar.
A Velocity or Lancair would make a better choice.
3. Limited fuel capacity in the stock configuration makes transamerica
hops not possible unless more fuel capacity is added, further limiting
payload.
Get an Aztec.

OK.......I guess, but you may want to remind folks that it's 'backwards'. I
don't like to 'think' anymore than I have to........easy to remember to turn
the knob in the direction you want to trim: Knob in/forward/clockwise - nose
down, Knob out/back/counter clockwise - nose up (you know....lefty loosy,
righty tighty). Don't worry if you forget to tell someone.......they'll find
out yours is backwards soon enough :

A while back on the list there was discussion about someone in Oklahoma who paints
RV's. I believe he was an RV builder himself, and came well recommended by
listers. There was even something about catching a ride home with other RV'ers
while waiting for it to be done.
I have searched the archives, but have been unable to find anything about him.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

You might want to tell that to the guy who was busted for running weed
back and forth from the US to Canada in his RV-4... 8-)

He apparently used to stuff the back seat and baggage compartment (and
apparently all the way back in the tailcone, but i'd have trouble
believing he'd be able to *fly* with that much) full of the stuff and
fly it in and out of extremely short/unimproved strips on a weekly basis.

The government quite happily watched him flying 100' off the ground back
and forth across the border for a couple of months before busting him,
too. And neither a Velocity nor Lancair can get in/out of the small
strips RV's can. And neither come in taildragger configuration... 8-)

This may be why this guy succeeded for so long. He was only flying from
Langley, BC just across the border into Washington State.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Dave von Linsowe" <davevon@tir.com>
In an different, but equally if not more devastating situation, I became the
target of Nigerian mail back scammers while selling my prop on Barn
Stormers. Fortunately for me, I was a little leery of the deal and the bank
wasn't eager to say the Wells Fargo Cashiers check was as good as cash.
The scam works by relying your honesty to wire back excess funds from a
bogus cashiers check that they FedEx to you. Banks have even been duped by
telling your that the check is as good as cash. You wire back the money,
the bank finds out that the check was a fraud and empties your account for
the amount of the check. In some cases the victims have ended up owing the
bank a considerable amount of money.
I've been in contact with the Secret Service (the lead investigators) and
they are working on the problem. There are those who have lost hundreds of
thousands to these scams! Early scams used people's greed, these will try
to use your honesty. This site has a lot of useful info

Well, I guess it's all relative . . .
You still turn the knob the same way to get the same effect. Think about unscrewing
a bolt, regardless of whether the bolt is facing towards you or away from
you, when you grab the end of the bolt your hand knows which way to turn the
bolt to loosen it. The same applies to the trim knob, whether you grab it facing
toward or away from you, you still get the same effect when you turn it clockwise.
The forward/aft movement of the knob is so small that it's pretty insignificant.
I would bet that going to an aft facing knob from a forward facing
knob is probably an easier transition then going from an electric or wheel type
trim control to any knob type trim control. To me, this center mounted position
feels much more natural and is an easier reach than mounting it ahead of the
fuel selector. Not to mention improving the legroom in the cockpit.

Jim...
Since your N number was envolved in illegal activities, even though it is
rightly your number and illegally used by someone else, I would really pay real
close attention to the FAR's. If the Aztec which has used your number is
truly expected of drug running, your N number will be in all FAA facility
databases as a suspect aircraft in attempt to catch the Aztec. Big brother
will be watching every flight you make provided you talk to an FAA facility(s)
as the contact will alert someone in that facility and not necessarily the
controller. I worked as a supervisor in ARTCC and tracked drug runners
regularily for EPIC (ElPaso) for years...caught some too!! I don't have a
clue on how you clear your N number as I thought ElPaso gave us the numbers but
I would fly right for a long time as you will "ring the bell" and things will
quietly start happening. Usually all the FAA does is report to ElPaso,
track the target to a destination where the authorities handle it and we never
hear of the results of the incident which is the "FAA way" of doing
business.

Due to an unforeseen change in circumstances, I need to sell my project. An
overview of the details:
New IO-360A1B6 with LASAR in the box with long term storage option delivered
last December
Finish Kit untouched except for inventory
Fuselage in the jig, completely skinned but not riveted so it can be easily
disassembled for transport
Left wing finished, right wing ready to rivet
Control surfaces completed
Empennage completed except for fiberglass
Installation kit (servos and wiring) for S-Tec 30 delivered in January, new
in box
I'm located in Minneapolis. At this point I want to sell everything as a
package. My cost for everything is $52K at this point. It would cost more
to buy at today's prices, of course. Excellent workmanship. I know
everyone says that. I would like to recover my investment in money alone.
Please contact off list.

Does anyone have any actual experience with the built-in intercom function of
the UPS/Apollo GX-65 GPS/Comm unit?
I'm trying to keep my initial panel cost to a minimum (while leaving space for
more additions later). If the intercom in the GX-65 is adequate, I don't have
any need for an audio panel at this time.
Thanks.

I have one Geoff and it works just fine. The intercom function is solid,
communications reported as crystal clear, and the GPS works flawlessly.
The ability to customize nav pages is a HUGE plus IMHO compared to its
competitors. This box provides excellent value and has a top notch
install kit. I wired the unit to an MX-20 and SL70 with no prior
experience and everything worked. There's no input for stereo or MP3 but
I solved this by buying Lightspeed 30-3g headsets and these have stereo
inputs themselves.

Since you're asking for opinions, I would own a GX-65 only as a last resort.
The UPS GPS's are technologically inferior to even the King/Honeywill
equipment. They are not as user friendly as Garmin or King. They do not have
E6-B calculations.
On the other hand, the comm function is acceptable and it would meet your
desires to keep your panel nice & neat.
If it were me, I would opt for the PS Engineering intercom and go with a
King or Garmin Comm/GPS setup.

Here's another data point...worth what you paid for it. 8-)
Having owned and flown with the King KLN-89B GPS for several hundred hours
over several years (in two Mooneys I used to have), I wouldn't go with a
KLN-89B again unless it was free. I can't speak to the quality of the
KLN-94, although I have to assume it suffers similarly.
Here's my biggest gripe: duplicate waypoints screw up your flight plan.
Unless you've flown GPS approaches with the KLN-89B, you have no idea how
annoying this can be at the worst of times. The case is where you entered
your flight plan and were "smart" (or dumb) enough to include an IAF when
you first entered the flight plan. Case in point, when I flew up to PAO and
the weather was "iffy" (didn't know if I would need an instrument approach
to get in) I would enter ABSIW before KPAO, because that's where I wanted to
end up if the weather went south. It's on the way anyway...if I get up
there and it's VFR, no love lost.
So you're flying along, you're checking the weather, and you realize that
yep, it's IMC at your destination. No surprise...ok, add the IAP to the
flight plan. Problem is, ABSIW becomes a duplicate fix...and the KLN-89B
gets all confused, doesn't do automatic sequencing, etc.
So just delete "one of the" ABSIW fixes from the flight plan, right? Well,
if you're already navigating to it, forget it. Can't delete the active
waypoint. Can't delete the fix that's part of the approach, either, of
course. The only recourse is to temporarily D-> to another waypoint while
you delete stuff from your flight plan (what's your primary navigation
reference now?! just have to hold that heading...), fiddle around with the
crappy user interface, etc. Oops, hit the ENT button by mistake because
you're getting tossed around...go back and fix it. This is all while you're
in the soup. Not fun.
The unit is too dumb to realize that yes, there's a duplicate waypoint, so
just "consolidate" the flight plan...yes, I want to fly the approach. Yes,
just because I'm already navigating direct ABSIW does mean the unit *should*
auto-sequence and all that. Frustrating.
Theoretically, I could have avoided all of this if I hadn't put ABSIW into
the flight plan in the first place, but why can't the unit compensate for
it? Geez, the mfr made sure the thing would operate accurately, conform to
the standards, etc...but they neglected a pretty simple operational element.
Sorry to rant, but I feel like this is a legitimate shortcoming of the
KLN-89B in real-life IFR flying.
About the E6B thing, yeah, having the CALC modes is "neato" but it doesn't
get you to your destination any sooner or more safely. Big deal that the
winds are 280 at 21! It's just another heads-down distraction. The only
use I found for it was that flight service would get winds aloft along with
my regular pirep.
I'm going with the GX60, no doubt. After I get some actual IFR time with
it, I'll happily report back about whether I find it to be a superior or
inferior unit to the KLN-89B.
Again, this is just my 2 cents, and it's probably not even worth that!

Geoff,
I have a GX-60 with the built-in intercom function. If you use this
functions the monitoring of a standby frequency is disabled. If you
don't have two radios, the capability to listen on two frequencies at
once might be worth more than the intercom function. You can get a good
intercom on ebay for $40-50.

Be advised that if you opt to use the internal intercom feature of any UPSAT
unit you cannot use what I believe is the most valuable feature of all -
Monitor Standby. I just can tell you how useful it is to be able to listen
to whatever freq is dialed into the standby slot in addition to your active
frequency... literally like having two radios in one. Activating the
internal intercom disables this.

Calvin Gillis is the painter. Several of us RV'ers here in Oklahoma went to
his hangar and inspected an RV6 that he had just completed. Nice paint job.
He uses Jet Glow and Akro (sp?) Glow, made by Sherwin Williams. Paul
Stratman's site listed below in Mike's message gives phone numbers.

Does anyone have any actual experience with the built-in intercom function
of
the UPS/Apollo GX-65 GPS/Comm unit?
Hi Geoff
I do not have the GX-65 but I do have a UPS SL-60 (slim line) GPS/Comm and I
believe they operate the same. Initially I had problems with the intercom,
but it's all in the setup. You need a good avionics tech or maybe some help
from UPS because I don't remember anything about complete intercom setup in
the installation manual.
There are many options on the computer maintenance/test pages that need to
be configured properly to get acceptable operation, you can even change what
the volume control knob controls.
If anyone is having problems look into the setup procedures.
The intercom function on my SL-60 is just as good as any other intercom that
I have ever used, however in my setup there is one limitation, I have a
fixed squelch and audio volume, adjusted through a computer page, works just
fine when properly set for flight.
Unless my memory has failed, (and contrary to one other post) my intercom
also works when the standby Rx function is active.
I am happy with the SL-60 and it works very well as a Comm, second comm
reciever, Public Weather broadcast receiver (162.x MHZ), Intercom, flight
timer, and IFR terminal & enroute GPS.

I DISAGREE.
I may be the only one that has flown behind Apollo and Garmin. I first
owned an Apollo and then a Garmin. The Garmin was very difficult to learn to
use. The Garmin is the only GPS that I have owned that has broken and
required repairs. I had to pay for the repairs also. My last upgrade was
over one year ago to a GX-60 and it is the BEST GPS that I have flown
behind.
In my humble opinion, the Apollo is the best technology for the Buck.
My first choice is Apollo. Second is King, with Garmin and Narco tied after
that.

Since you're asking for opinions, I would own a GX-65 only as a last resort.
The UPS GPS's are technologically inferior to even the King/Honeywill
equipment. They are not as user friendly as Garmin or King. They do not have
E6-B calculations.
On the other hand, the comm function is acceptable and it would meet your
desires to keep your panel nice & neat.
If it were me, I would opt for the PS Engineering intercom and go with a
King or Garmin Comm/GPS setup.

Does anyone have a blank RV-6 or 7 slider/taildragger file you could send
me. I'm looking to replicate my Bonanza paint scheme and would like to see
what it would look like.

Listers,
I am about to start organising seats and need some advice. I understand
from previous postings that the Oregonaero seats are one of the best for
comfort, I am 6' 2" - will they be acceptable for me in the RV6
(headroom wise) - What are their dimensions? - Does anyone have a
website with pictures of their interior with these seats?
Any comments on other seat manufactures and pictures once again, I will
have the seats upholstered locally.

I fly with the-60, and it provides my only intercom. Works perfect. The
monitor function on the comm works while the intercom is function is
selected, you just can't hear the monitor frequency if the passenger is
talking on the intercom.

Just goes to show you, FAA inspectors don't always know what they're talking
about. See the following link:
http://www1.faa.gov/certification/aircraft/6_SPAW_EXP_AMATEUR-BUILT_INSP_ACF
T.htm (6th bullet item down).
If you're not sure about something an FAA guy tells you, don't assume he's
omnipotent -- look it up. Sometimes its up to us to "educate" them on their
own rules (just be tactful about it!)

Earlier posts have suggested that engine intake air will be cooled by the
pressure drop caused by throttling. That seems logical, but is not correct.
Once more, back to the thermodynamics of decades ago. The fact is that the
enthalpy of a gas remains the same thru a throttling process, only the
entropy rises.
In plain English, throttling is a wasteful (but necessary) process!
Warning: if you like dental root canal work, you'll LOVE thermodynamics.
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt!
