Thanks to everybody who responded about the Avery jack stand kit details. I
ordered the kit and it arrived today. I posted some details and photos on
how it works, the mods required, etc. on my web site:
http://www.rvproject.com/20030411.html
The system is pretty simple/elegant, and it was really easy to make the
modifications (cut holes and file notches in the axle nuts). Looks like
this will make it trivial to jack the plane up and get the wheels off
quickly and in a stable manner.

It was last year. I lived in the Mission San Jose area of Fremont and
I-680 was pretty convenient. For me to get to HWD I would have to drive
pretty much through all of Fremont to get to I-880. So, I could jump on
680 and go straight to RHV. Besides, at the time, my office was in
Campbell. So, RHV was on the way in the both directions. Bug out early
and go do a few landings. :) Put a smile on my face before I had to
deal with screaming kids and dog tired wife, or in the morning before a
tough day at work.
Anyway, to me, it seemed like a wash. Though, I do think that you are
pretty much right. Hayward is probably a bit closer, but I could get to
Reid in about 35 to 40 mins. and rental buckets were a little cheaper.
Heading over to Livermore at that time would've been about the same, I
think.

Tried unsuccessfully to down-load Chris W's link, but there is a good chart
in the Avery catalogue anyway.

Listers,
I seem to recall at least a few guys mentioning that they'd used SEM
products in rattle cans to paint their interior. SEM Color Coat would be the
likely product from their line for this...
http://www.semproducts.com/sempages/semcolorcoat.html
This product was designed to color plastic surfaces, but I'm told also works
on hard surfaces. I'd like to know how it's holding up for those who may
have used it. The reason for my inquiry is that I'm re-finishing the
interior of my glider with it and am curious about it's durability,
especially on the hard metal parts.
TIA,
Randy Lervold

Hello:
Have a question, I saw a few Rv's at SNF, that
had the Nav antenna, under the fuselage, below the
H.S.
I was thinking of doing that,for those who did this
any problem, with this installation? Pros and cons...
Your comments would be appreciated.
For those who went to SNF, you must
agreed, that this years we had quite a few outstanding
RV'It was an experience.....For you guys on the
west coast, try to make it some time... you will like

Hello-
I was wondering if anyone out there has painted their
plane silver (rather than raw-aluminum) with a WWII
figher motif.
If anyone has some links of photos or has comments,
please forward.
Thanks

Has anyone heard from electric Bob lately? I ordered some products from him
over a month ago and havent had a reply to any of my two messages in the
last 30 days! Looks like he may have blown a fuse; and with my cash.

Jeff,
Before you go publicly accusing Bob of stealing your money, I suggest you
check in on the Aeroelectric List where Bob answers many questions daily. I
have absolutely no doubt about his integrity. Yours I'm not so sure about.

Subject: RE: RV-List: Retractable Steps
--> RV-List message posted by: "Rodney Woodard" <rodney.woodard@attbi.com>
Sorry, I've been away from the computer all day.
As somebody pointed out, the steps are retracted independently by a
cable from each side that is attached to a stainless rod that attaches
to the canopy frame.
I don't know what would happen if an unknowing passenger stepped on a
partially-extended step. I'll be back in town on Tuesday and do some
experimenting with Russ's step on his 6A.
The steps themselves are not supported with the cable mechanism at all.
They "bottom out"-for lack of a better phrase-when they are fully
extended and meet metal to metal.
Somebody suggested that the reason we didn't show the guts was to
prevent somebody from copying the setup. Maybe a little bit, but not as
much as you would think. Mostly it was a time constraint the particular
day I was out at the hangar taking pictures.
Russ has spent a considerable amount of time sourcing the materials for
the step. He's also spent a small fortune getting molds made for the
steps. They're actually cast out of aluminum... and yes, they're plenty
strong enough. My 240# hopping on the extended step didn't even phase
it! There's no doubt it'd be possible for reverse-engineer the kit, but
you can theoretically build most RV's from plans, too, so it's not a
huge concern.
Feel free to e-mail Russ directly at russ@stepupaviation.com.
Best regards to all,
Rod Woodard for

Hi Rod,
Here's freebie for Russ. Forget the cables. My Bonanza has a retractable
step, a few years ago the retract cable broke. To get in the airplane you
simply pushed the step down with your foot with the weight off it retracted.
It was a real pain to replace that cable. When I started my project I
arranged a demo flight for my lady friend. We found that it was difficult
for her to make the step to the wing of a -6. I designed a spring loaded
retractable step similar to the Bonanza. I found that a small step stool was
a lot easier.
