Folks with deep pockets buy these nifty new toys and sell their

>Shunt?
The shunt has a "rating". It may very well be listed on the side
or in the literature that came with the unit. There are all kinds, but very
often large shunts put out 50 mV at their maximum current rating. For
example, a 100 amp, 50 mV shunt will show 50 mV (0.05 volts) when 100 amps
are flowing through it. This means that this shunt has 0.5 mOhm (0.0005
Ohms) of resistance. When 50 amps are flowing, you would expect to see 25
mV, and so on
If you put a known current through the shunt, you should be able
determine if it is working correctly by measuring the voltage across it.
It's important that the shunt be wired correctly. There are two
large terminals, at the ends, for the load connections, and there are two
tiny terminals, nearer to the center, for the meter connections. You can't
switch these around or the meter won't read correctly. You need to use all
the supplied washers, nuts, and screws when making the load connections to
ensure a 100% proper operation.

How long ago was that?? That would depend on what part of Fremont. The
Niles district where I lived was only 15 min drive to Hayward. Now if you
lived down on the border of Milpitas or maybe the Irvington district it
*might* be quicker but I doubt it being as RHV is in southish San Jose.
Traffic patterns change almost by the month in the Bay Area.
*Actually* PAO might be quicker than either one.

O.K. I have to weigh in on this a bit.
I used to live in Fremont and flew out of Reid-Hillview. I seem to
recall that takes just about as long to drive from Fremont to Hayward
as it did to get to RHV. So, I don't necessarily buy that Hayward is
easier or faster to get to. RHV is well outside of the SF Class B and
just outside of the SJC Class C. HWD is under both the SF Class B and
the OAK Class C. If your xpndr is wacked you can't get in to HWD. LVK
is east of Fremont about a 20 mins by car. It has quite a bit of
transient space and is very close to the freeway (I-580). It has an ILS
and all amenities, including rental cars. LVK is well outside of SF
Class C airspace. There is a BART station in Dublin, which is about 3
miles west on the freeway.
All in all, using Bay Approach is no problem for any of the SFBA
airports (OAK Center for LVK flight following), but why bother if you
just need a convenient airport. Livermore isn't really any further away
and I think it costs a little less (don't know what fees there might
be). I think that LVK is just as convenient and any others in the SFBA.
Maybe even a little more friendly. ;) Besides, everything in the SFBA
is 45 minutes away by car. :
o
BTW... I live in Livermore now and my house is about 3/4 of mile from
the approach end of 25R. Rock your wings on final and I'll wave back.
Please, just keep your RPMs low for the sensitive ears of those who
don't appreciate our passion.

--> RV-List message posted by: "John Helms" <jhelms@i1.net>
On my way to SnF, I stopped in ATL and spoke with the underwriter for the Van's
Program. One of the things that we talked about is something that a lot of you
have been waiting to hear.
The VanGuard Program can now accept RV's with XP-360 engines from Superior, and
those that are built by Aerosport Power. You may all breath a sigh of relief....
I know I will. I have been pushing for that for quite some time. This is
the first time they've specifically approved engines other than Lycomings for
the program.
On a similar note, I also had the opportunity to talk with the underwriter that
does the EAA's program the other day. Their program is available to any agent
as long as you're a current EAA member, by the way. Their converted automobile
engine list is interesting with the major difference is the inclusion of Suburu
FWF packages. But they'll also do Volkswagon FWF packages done by Great
Plains, Aero-Conversions, and Revmaster; Mazda FWF by Powersports. Ford, GMC,
Chrysler all are specifically prohibited by them.
The EAA's program will also do Hirth two strokes, HKS four strokes, LOM four stroke,
PZL/Franklin Four stroke, Rotax two and four stroke, and Jabiru Four strokes.

Has anyone tried using high-brightness LEDs for position lights?
They use them for traffic lights, car tail lights, car brake lights, and
truck clearance lights these days. They are MUCH more reliable than
filament type lights and have the same (or greater) brightness. They also
use considerably less power to produce the same light output. With the high
price of Whelen and Grimes units, why not use high-brightness LED arrays
for position lights instead?

The issue of nylocks fwd of firewall wasn't what I was relly addressing, I
was addressing self locking devices on a fastener that can rotate, such as a
clevis.
I have nylocks all over my engine compartment. These are rating to 350deg. I
even used some on the case joint fasteners, on top of internal star washers.
Never had a problem with any of them.
I have a RV6 with the aux gear on the correct end, and it uses a castled

I used it for a short period. Did not get much range and could not talk
below to tower or other A/C directly below me. On the ramp I had to turn
the A/C towards the tower to get reception. I put a whip antenna on the
bottom of the fuselage, and things are a lot better. I use a Val Com radio.
I left the foil antenna on windscreen, I plan on using it for a hand held,
if I ever get one.
Advice, try it, if it doesn't work you are only out $7.00.

When I saw the above, and because I've no idea who sent the original
question, I thought I may have made the wrong assumption and thought my
discussion about heat and nylocks was off base; so, I went back and looked
at the note I sent. I wasn't off base on that because I also went to my own
drawings and saw that the discussion was about the nut on the bolt at the
top of the gear that's so close to the exhaust, as I'd originally assumed it
was. With that, I'll stick to my guns on the nylock nut. Just as Wheeler
says, it can take a lot of heat. I see the drawings indication for a steel
locking nut as one more case of where things in the drawings don't quite
match the hardware in the bags. :-) Below is the question I was refering
to with my answer.

Anway, to answer Wheeler's question about the nose gear, it has a bolt with
a nylock. So did my Grumman-American Cheetah. Now, that may shock some of
us on the list. However, the bearings do not ride on the bolt. They ride
on a cylinder made just for that purpose. In the Cheetah, the cylinder had
a notch cut in it to make it unable to spin. Not so for the RVs. If the
bolt is not tightened all the way down as tight as it should be, the
cylinders can actually spin in the assembly. Ask me how I know. :-( When
tightened to proper torque, the cylinders don't spin because the rubber on
the bearings hold them in place. Still, I wonder, sometimes. There should
be some kind of locking device on that cylinder to prevent its spinning.

I was the one who sent the original question...here's my decision, for what
it's worth...
Even though I rest fairly assured that the AN365 nylock nut would be
absolutely fine, I'm going with the MS21045-5 all-metal lock nut instead.
See, what it comes down to is that the nut on the PLANS is the all-metal
lock nut, not a nylock nut. I'm just picturing the DAR going over the
engine compartment with a fine-toothed comb and pointing out:
"Hey, you have a nylock nut in the engine compartment...that really ought to
be an all-metal nut."
It's not as if I can say, "Well, I followed the plans, and the plans call
for an AN365 nut," to at least justify my decision. The PLANS call for the
all-metal nut. It's just that Van's little hardware bag came with the
AN365. Weird.
I'm ordering a bunch of MS21045 nuts to have around for the firewall forward
process.
I respect everybody's opinion and thanks to those who weighed in. As I
said, I'm sure the AN365 would be fine, but I'm going with what's on the
plans, what I believe a good DAR would demand, and what I know is the safer
option (even if it's only marginally safer!).

Chris,
The UV additives in paints and coatings are used to reduce the
degradation of the coating caused by exposure to the sun. They have
nothing to due with reducing (or increasing) the surface absorption temp.

West is fun, but look out for the wire stretching to the sky down there.-

The problem with LED's is that they are very directional and you may find it
difficult to to get the legal brightness in the full 180 deg vertical arc and
the 90 deg horizontal arc. If you can work out that problem I think LED's would
be a great replacement.

Howdy folks,
I'm still in Tampa, but spent a day and a half at the show. Not quite as
busy as I had expected, this being my first trip to SNF. I didn't fly my -8
to the show, but left it at Raytheon FBO at Tampa international. My wife
and son flew in via airlines and it was just easier to drive over to
Lakeland after picking them up. My flight from New Mexico to Tampa was
absolutely awesome...smooth...and fast! I never saw GPS cruise ground speeds
under 210mph the entire way. Gotta love those westerlies.
I met up with Bernie Kerr for lunch and didn't see many other folks that I
recognize. Oh, there was Colonel Stu doing his usual fabulous job of leading
a flight of RV's in a most elegant manner overhead numerous times. For a
show of this size, I was surprised to see relatively few RV's on the line at
any given time. I felt that the Notam shutting down the field for most of
the afternoon for the airshow really limited access to and from the field.
I'm glad I just drove and was able to leave when the heat and humidity
started to get to me. I'm an arid climate dude...humidity kills me.
I got to meet "Van the man" in person...for the first time ever! I took a
few pics with him, along with my son, Skyler. Little does my boy know just
how much this quiet man has meant to his daddy.
My trip back home begins tomorrow morning. Wx looks really gnarly (surfer
talk) along the top of Florida. Hope it's gone by early am.
Folks, keep bangin' the rivets. You have no idea just how much fun you have
in store for you! Think about it...halfway across the USA in the time it
takes to put in a day's work. It'll just boggle your mind, lads.

Can't this problem be overcome by mounting three sets of each light, one on a
forward-facing surface, one on a lataral-facing surface, and one on an
aft-facing surface? Not ideal, perhaps, but not overly difficult, either. Do
the regs specify a distance at which the visibility is measured (i.e. would
"blind spots" near the airplane be acceptable)?

--> RV-List message posted by: RGray67968@aol.com
Folks,
DELETE if not interested!!
A copy of my S/F trip report sent to the Mid Atlantic Group: (long - read at
your own risk and do not archive)
Just got back from my 1st ever Sun & Fun......all I can say is
WOW....WOW...&....WOW!!! Wheels up from PKB (Parkersburg, W.VA.) at 6:20am
Wednesday for an inflight rendezvous with Bill Flaherty (Popeye) (VVS,
Connellsville) over Summersville, W. VA.. Flipped to Button 1 after takeoff
and had Popeye and his passenger (Bob) on the radio.....the start of this
GREAT trip!! I flew Popeye's wing (RV8) just about all the way down....we
averaged about 160kts. Our planned 1st stop was Waycross, Georgia but Popeye
was getting a little low on fuel so we stopped at Vidalia (VDL) instead for
fuel at 2.79/gal - ouch. After a 2 ship low approach on departure (Popeye's
idea) we turned towards LAL. Enroute wx was 'perfect' to say the least, not=20a
bump to be found! To really prep us for the palm trees we put on some Bob
Marley as we entered Florida - the 25XL's are awesome - 'No Woman No Cry' -=20I
can still hear the music!!! We saw our 1st clouds just after the Florida
swamps (Okkkkeee something or other) about 50 miles north of LAL. I called
Popeye and told him I just switched tanks - he said to wait next time unless
I like alligators - grin. Arrival was a non event per the posted procedures
(thanks to Eyeball/Zack for the pre brief) and we were on the ground at about
high noon. Total flight down was about 4.5 hours in the air.....39 gallons of
fuel for me (including taxi and flybys). I parked in 'Homebuilt' and Popeye
parked in 'Homebuilt Camping'. After tiedown we hooked up (cell phone) and
started enjoying the BEAUTIFUL Florida weather. Arriving back at the campsite
we ran into Eyeball and Joe Rose who were camped right next to us!! They
invited us to dinner at the Outback Steakhouse. About 8 RV'ers including
Mudfoot and a few others.....a swell time! Thanks to Tom for the use of his
van - and to Mudfoot (the driver) for a nice tour of some of the local
industrial parks (you had to be there)! After a long day we settled
in.....real glad I brought my air mattress.....almost like being at home. My
old sneakers needed some odor eaters so I left them outside the tent. After
smelling my camping partners sneaks I didn't feel too bad - we both bit the
bullet and brought all the 'smellies' inside so we didn't have wet (morning
dew) sneaks each day - whooeee, we are brave souls :
). The next morning we
were up for showers......nice and clean with HOT HOT water. Off to the
homebuilt area to wipe the dew off the 6 (a daily occurrence for me). LOTS
and LOTS of RV's.....too many to count! Met a lot of RV'ers over the next few
days - some from the Internet and some we already knew. Zack and Ralph pulled
in and we had a chat with them as well as Rich Ziedman (Z-Man) and many
others. TEAM RV was there in numbers and performed flawlessly at about 11:30
each day along with Stu McCurdy (FFI) and Falcon Flight with Mark Fredrick in
his new Rocket. All the airplane talk ceased as the they flew over the field
- about 3 to 5 passes each day. They were always 'in'... close and personal.
We also ran into many members from the Tennessee gang (Sam Buchanon HIMSELF
was there along with the Millsap family and others). We spent the next few
days looking at airplanes in the mornings and watching the airshows in the
afternoons. The Saturday morning Hot air balloon launch was just spectacular!
About 40 balloons doing a "Mass Air Ascent" - this was awesome. Saturday
night was the night air show - the opening act (a four ship aerobatic act)
was good as was the glider performance. Eyeball and Joe bailed out Saturday
morning due to wx - sorry to see them go as we had quite a few laughs with
them and Yergen (spelling??) the night before at Margaritaville (just pop for
me :
)). Oh yea, a note was left in my plane inviting us to a Brat Cookout -
'Meet at Vans tent at 5'. So we did, Dana Overall from Kentucky sent out the
invite. We all met up and walked to his campsite. Basically you could have
just followed you nose. Enough Brats for 2 each and beverages as well. Dana
wouldn't take a dime - his way of paying back for all the help he'd received
while working on his RV7 - it was delicious to say the least!! These are the
kind of folks you run into in the RV world! Had been checking the wx all
week. Was hard to believe that all kinds of activity was taking place 'up
north' when we were seeing temps in the high 80's with blue skies all week.
Looked like we had an 'opening' Sunday morning to head for home. After a
'motorcycle' escort (one on each wing) from the Homebuilt area to Homebuilt
camping we started packing our gear. I finally got Gary's (my passenger)
sleeping bag in the plane (you've NEVER seen ANYTHING like it - it was HUGE)
and we were ready to go. A long taxi followed by a longer wait to depart and
we off as a two ship. The RV used a little more runway than I'm used to with
the load and Florida heat but we still gained altitude at a rapid pace. A
couple of high wings were in front of us.....nothing to do but blow by so we
passed 'em like they were standing still - well clear on the right. I could
see them looking over 'wishing' they were had RV's - grin. At about 4500' we
were on top of the puffy white clouds as close to heaven as you can get. But,
that didn't last long. As forecast, we ran into some nasty stuff near
Augusta, Georgia. A call to flightwatch confirmed our decision to divert to
Macon then up towards Daniels. We had to drop down to about 1200' AGL to stay
below the ceiling that had moved in while dodging the rain cells with our
wood props. Popeye gave a quick reminder to keep an eye out for towers -
nothing showing on the GPS but you never know. We flew from airport to
airport leaving ourselves an 'out' as we neared Daniels Mun. airport.
Circling the field we could see the runway was wet.....we landing on runway=205
and taxied to the ramp. Rob (the ramp guy) said we just missed a 3" downpour.
Some other folks had just landing (spam can) and were deciding which movie to
see as they were going to have to spend the night. We got fuel at 2.99/gal
after the lady behind the counter wouldn't budge on the price.....then
checked the computer for wx. Looked like more of the same for about 60 miles
then a clear shot to PKB and VVS. Departed on runway 11 after the wind had
shifted and again we were dodging the cells as best we could. Real nice to
travel with another airplane on trips like this.....in good and marginal
weather. We danced around in the good stuff and stuck close together in the
marginal. We could 'see the light' between a couple of cells and headed for
it with an airport below (safe haven) and before we knew it....the sun came
out and the sky was again clear and blue a sigh of relief from my 'new guy'
passenger. We climbed to about 6500' to take advantage of the winds and to
get over the mountains. Bob (Popeye's passenger) was still trying to read the
sectional to find out where we were (we got plenty of 'mileage' out of that).
We had a nice respectable cruise of about 165 to 175 knots for the rest of
the trip. Popeye and I separated at Summersville where we had met up 5 days
before. I'll repeat my earlier statement - GREAT to travel with another
airplane - especially FRIENDS in an RV!! Safety is paramount and it's very
comforting to know you have a wingman in the event of a mechanical problem,
wx related problem, or to just enjoy the blue skies while shooting photos of
one another. A little friendly ribbing on the trip never hurt anyone either=20-
big grin!! Sun and Fun was as good as everyone had told me it would be....no
less!! The volunteers really make it happen - hats off to them for
ALL their HARD work!! As they say...Osh Kosh is big business.....Sun and Fun
is 'Family'. I'll be going back again next year......as if you didn't know
:
). Sun and Fun is AWESOME!!! To fly there in the plane I built in my
basement was the icing on the cake!!
As a sidebar - Popeye and I hope to meet up with Eyeball and Mudfoot in the
future for some formation practice. We're looking at a halfway point to meet
- thanks for offering to help us out guys!!
Oh yea - I weighed=A0 all my stuff and it came out to 90.5 pounds of
luggage/tent/chairs/tools/emer. kit/tie downs etc. - WOW - I figure with my
passengers luggage (and the sleeping bag) we had about 125 in the back - I
put the tools up front behind my legs. These airplanes are really great!
See ya' at the next WAM!!
Rick (Buckeye) RV6 in Ohio at the Buffalo Farm
Where were the 3 C's and JP??? (and the rest of the gang??)- hey - we
missed you guys big time!!!

Dean, I have a home made one that works fine. Can be built with 2 six/eight
inch lawn mower wheels, threaded rod to make an axle for the wheels, a
couple of six inch carriage bolts (slip under the tail wheel from the side)
and a 5 foot length of 1 inch steel square tube from your local building
supplies store. Mine took a little welding, but there may be a way to do it
without. If this is hard to visualize, drop me a note and I will describe
further. I have also heard of a commercial product with the name
Taildragger Dragger. Don't know who makes it.

Dean,
Just use the one ACS (or others) sell for the Cessna 150. Get the 'deluxe'
model with the spring. It fits right over the tail wheel bolt - made to fit
right out of the box. See Sams RV Journal for photos.

The show was MUCH better attended Wednesday through Friday... but even on
Friday morning there were a lot of people leaving because of the weather up
north (the weather here was perfect all week).
By Thursday evening, there were approx 130 RVs on the line, and then more in
the camping areas. More than you could look at in a day. There were many
incredibly nice RV's. At Van's banquet last night, they said that they were
told that there were more than 150 RV's here.
The Wednesday through Tuesday schedule made many people leave by the
weekend. I live only 17.3 miles away, and I brought my plane home this am.
My hangar mate took his 6 home on Friday. When I left, there were only 21
RV's left... scattered over an area that previously was PACKED with RV's.
If they keep this format, you need to be here the first few days. There were
a LOT more people during the first few days as well... today, a lot fewer
people and lots of room to walk around with the vendors.

Ken, It turned out to be a defective Amp. Gauge from Van's. I am in the
process of getting all new digital instruments from Aerospace Logic in
Canada.
After installing a panel full of Van's Gauges and several off
list notes from other users indicating more problems:
1) Tach & Sender 2) Manifold Pressure & Sender Gauges are also
failing for many builders... they are TOAST.
I will be painting this summer and flying this fall and don't want to
messing with defective gauges from here on out.
Thanks for everyone's input.

Have you seen the free dynamic DNS sites like:
http://www.dyndns.org/
You can use them to setup DNS entries for your home machine using one of the
34 domains that they have (http://www.dyndns.org/services/dyndns/domains.html).
Examples include dnsalias.{net, com, org}, homelinux.{net, com, org}.
They have "dynamic" DNS entries that change somewhat regularly (like dialups)
and "static" dns entries that change infrequently (like high speed cable
connections, DSL connections, etc).
I have used them for a couple of years and have not had a problem.

I just called & 1st asked to speak to the mayor. I got handed off a
couple of times then put on hold for a moment, then the lady said he was
unavailable & did I want to leave a number.
I told her to let him know that I had visited Chicago in the past but
that based on the mayor's actions, I would never spend another dime in
Chicago again.
I concluded by mentioning that his actions did nothing to help the
security of the city and asked her to ask him if he had banned Ryder
trucks from Chicago as well.
If you write or call, especially if you write the newspaper or other
media, be sure to mention that you intend to boycott the city in the
future. People always vote their pocket books and politicians know this
better than anyone else.

I don't have first hand information but several of Powersport's customers
have called me asking if I could furnish EFI/Ignition controllers for their
PS engines which were shipped without the controllers. (I could) They said
they had received a FAX saying that Powersport was going to cease operations
immediately and they would not be receiving the remainder of their
(pre-paid) orders.
BTW, N84TC (my 13B rotary powered RV-4) won the Sun 100 race in category 8
(160 HP RVs). Out ran all the O - 320s and half of the O - 360s in the
race. (sometimes you just gotta crow :-)

Here is what I use: I have a "taildragger dragger"
that has a 3/4" pipe about 2" long welded on the top.
I lift up my tail and set the bolt inside of it. This
allows it to pivot easily,and I can move my -6 in and
out of the hanger with ease and have great
manueverability with it. I do not have a 360 degree
swiveling tailwheel. Been using this device for 2
years and haven't found anything better yet. It was
not my idea,but it sure works well.

I concur with the other "post" regarding the
windscreen antenna. I,too,had very limited and
"directional" problems with the windscreen setup,even
though I had just put a new KX155 in my 6.I finally
put a normal antenna mounted in the dorsal position
and have great transmission and reception
qualities,never a directional problem or any other
problems with a "normal" antenna. I wouldn't even
bother with the windscreen antenna if you want to
really count on radio reception.

I think the comment about the weather is the key. People have jobs and
other responsibilities back home and this causes most of the "flyers" to
keep a wary eye on the weather. From the weather briefs I got down at SnF,
it looked like if you didn't depart by last Friday or during a "window" on
Sunday, you'd probably spend most of this week stuck in Florida or South
Georgia. The weather is playing havoc with the VFR folks this week...

I replaced the AN6 axle bolt on the tail wheel with one that is 1/2" longer
so I could stack three washers under the head and three under the nut.
I got a Cessna towbar from A/C Spruce, about $40, the one with the spring
loaded, lever action forks. Machined aluminum bushings to go into the
sockets on the forks and mate with the extended axle. WORKS PERFECTLY!
Someday soon I'm gonna get a digicam to post pix of little helpers like
this.

Hi All,
Just a thought.
Ivoprop is also an "experimental only" prop.
Just because there are "no know" flight restrictions, doesn't mean there aren't
any. Only that you get to find them. (VERY BAD!)
ANY undampened crankshaft Lycoming 360 engine HAS a "minimum time" of operation
between 2000 RPM and 2300 RPM. This is an engine limitation, not a propeller
limitation.
The specific RPM range is determined for specific engines and propellers by a vibration
survey as part of the certification process.
On the "Experimental Only" propellers, you're the test pilot.
Been there. Done that.
Don't get complacent.

tied a nice knot in the tie down rope (about 5' in length)and use it to pull
my -4 into the hangar with ease and great visibility all around the plane
while doing so,for about $3. Mike Kellems

Jim,
Where does the info that all Lycoming undamped engines have this "minimun
time" between 2200 and 2300 RPM come from? Is this written someplace?
I have an 0-360 A1A with an MT Prop and there are no restrictions with the
combination.

I searched the archives and found several links, but they don't seem to
work any more. Perhaps the FAA has moved them; I'm sure someone will
dig them up. The lack of a published restriction with an MT prop likely
means that the FAA hasn't required the combo be tested (or more
appropriately, no one has submitted test data for certification).
Vibration is a complicated thing, and unless MT (or any other exp. prop
manufacturer) has actually done the tests for certification on some
engine/airframe, nothing really is known about rpm areas to avoid.
Those wiser need to chime in...

Go ahead and attach the skin. Installing the strobe is easy as long as you

--> RV-List message posted by: VFT@aol.com
I spoke with the Whelen folks at Sun-N-Fun and they said they should release
their LED position light assemblies sometime later this year. If I recall
correctly thay said the LED assemblies would be replacing the current
position light assemblies in their product line.
