| Subject: | LRI system on a RV9A |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Williams Hildred" <WilliamsJrHildred@JohnDeere.com>
I am helping a friend install the LRI on a RV9A.
When the probe is inserted into the angle and plate supplied with the kit,
there is an 'open area' in front of the probe.
This 'open area' will also be cut into the center wing inspection cover, if
the LRI template is used to cut the center wing inspection cover.
Should the 'cut out' slot ONLY allow the probe to be inserted thru the probe
plate and the inspection cover.
OR
Should the 'cutout' in the inspection cover be cut the same size as the
cutout in the probe plate??
Should the extra 'cutout' hole be filled or closed after the correct angle
is determined??
Will the 'open area' create a problem in the flying or flight characteristic
of the wing??
Thank you in advance for your help.

SNIP How about going to the sign shop, and getting a checkerboard paint mask.
They have a cutter than works like a pen plotter, and should be able to cut
out a very accurate checkerboard. Buy two of them, apply one and paint one
color, then offset the other mask and paint the other color. SNIP
You don't need 2 masks unless your are a masochist to save 0.1oz of paint weight.
Just paint the base color over the entire area, your rudder for example, and
then apply the checkeboard mask, scuff the area to be painted carefully with
scotchbrite, and apply the contrasting color. Peel the mask off when dry, crack
open a beer and marvel at how awesome it will look at 200mph.

You guys are killing me. I've built or helped build a 4,6,7,8,9 and a Rocket.
(yes, a self-proclaimed expert!) If you think just getting access to a few bolts
makes a project tough, for goodness sakes don't try to build a Rocket. You'll
wet your pants just looking over the 2 (or 3) sets of non-coordinating plans.
Then when you see that giant pile of NOT prepunched metal that is 100% full
of parts that almost fit, you'll have a heart attack on the spot. :-)
I must be crazy because I've almost got the F-1H airframe finished. I can't look
at it without softly singing that old Johnny Cash song "I got it one piece
at a time, and it cost me all my dimes. You'll know it's me when I roar o'er
your town."

Bill,
I have been flying with a Skymap IIIC in my panel for nearly 3 yrs. I had it updated
at Oshkosh a couple of years ago to add the terrain features (excellent,
but not too useful in flat Wisconsin!). I used the rack mount hardware to integrate
it with my radio stack, although as someone else noted, it wouldn't be
too hard to fabricate a custom mount.
I'm very happy with the unit. I mounted a Gretz GPS antenna on the glare shield
& have never had the unit lose it's GPS position. It's connected to my Navaid
A/P, via the Porcine coupler built in to the Navaid (that's an option). I
can set up a flight plan (the Skymap can store ~99 plans) with multiple legs &
the Navaid will follow it perfectly, including the turns.
The "Systems" section on my website includes a wiring drawing for the Skymap &
Navaid, but it's not complicated. Also, there's a photo at the end of the "photo-log"
"panel" page.
Bendix King has the Skymap IIIC user manual available for free download, if you're
interested:
http://bendixking.com/static/bk_club/pilotguides/techpubs/1100110431_8.pdf
I really like the Skymap!

| Subject: | Dimpling Stainless |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Elsa & Henry" <elsa-henry@darlor-watch.com>
You are right about the required thickness of a sheet for countersinking #4
rivet but in reviewing the plans, I took into consideration that the
firewall was acting like a shield and it would be further held to the frame
by all items like the engine mounts which are bolted right through it. The
frame stiffening gussets would still be anchored by the rivets set into the
countersunk holes in the aluminum angles. With the exception of fuel line
penetration elbow and cable penetration shields, I have no massive items
hanging from the SS panel itself. The brackets holding my oil cooler, the
sensors manifold, etc, are all bolted right through into the frame angles
providing further anchoring of the SS panel. I have my gascolator mounted
inside the port wing root. Nice and cool there

| Subject: | MakingAnAlternatorPulley |
--> RV-List message posted by: "DAVID REEL" <dreel@cox.net>
To improve the reliability of Vans 35amp alternator, which I calculate will turn
10,500rpm at full throttle with the standard pulley, I'm thinking of machining
one myself on a lathe. Our EAA chapter has a lathe but most of my experience,
aside from one shop class long ago, has been on a wood lathe. Once I get
the cowling positioned & make a foot to prevent it from rising, I'll fill the
rest of the space with the biggest pulley that will fit. I'm not worried about
the alternator turning too slow as other posts have convinced me it'll be turning
faster than it did in it's automotive application with any reasonable size
that will fit.
Could those of you with machining experience suggest the type and source of steel
billet material suitable for a pulley of say 4" in diameter or less? Would
aluminum be good? The existing pulley weighs 11oz. Is there a book that would
familiarize me with the correct proceedures/problems? A local chapter member
can show me how to use the lathe, but I don't know what to aim for.

Hi Henry,
I this case I strongly advise you to contact Van's engineering dept. You
could be running the risk of straying more than just a bit away from the
designer's primary structural requirements.
In my opinion' the countersinking process you describe will create a whole
lot of knife edged cutters on a structure that serves multi functions.
Functions such as: fire barrier, equipment mounting plate for firewall
forward and cabin interior, and most important 'the primary forward most
diagonal fuselage structural member'. My understanding of the dimple's
purpose in this application is to mechanically lock the stainless steel
sheeting into it's structural framework in sheer so as to eliminate any
movement under loads.
I realize that there are a lot of reasons to think that the engine mount
etc. provides diagonal strength etc.but there are other forces at play here.
For instance, one that concerns me is the effects of hi, low and harmonic
vibrations and how they might act on all those little very sharp stainless
steel "cutters". In my minds eye I can imagine a lot of smoking rivets
showing up in time.
I am not expert enough and unwilling to pretend that I comprehend 'all' the
ramifications of veering away from the designer's requirements in this way
and in this case.
Please take the contents of this this email as a friendly note of caution
from a concerned list member with only the best intent in mind.

Yesterday I called Pacific Coast Avionics to ask about the SkymapIIIC and
the KMD-150. What's the difference, besides the price? The KMD-150 is about
$700 more than the Skymap, but from the ads it's hard to tell what the
difference is. Both are color. Evidently, they have about the same features
the primary difference is that the Skymap is designed as a portable unit and
the KMD-150 is designed for panel installation. The Skymap can be panel
mounted but you have to buy a special kit and, I believe, you need a
permanent mount GPS antenna too. By the time you buy the extra stuff the
cost will be pretty much the same and the KMD-150 looks better on the panel.
I am going to go with the KMD-150.

As an added note because I forgot to include it in the last email:
One of the other loads that will be experienced by the firewall will be
buffeting caused by the pressurized cooling air passing through the cowling
area. the loading rates and temperature changes will vary considerably.

While i'm just starting my RV, I did take a few courses at university on
light aircraft design and structures... I too would be *very* concerned
about countersinking the firewall vs. dimpling, and would urge you to
discuss this with Vans A/C before you proceed further.

That "but" is a *very* large BUT. There's a reason there's a required
thickness of sheet for countersinking. If the sheet is too thin, you
end up with, as Jim says, a Stainless Steel cutter that will slice right
through your rivets as vibration and thermal expansion and contration
work on them.
Keep in mind that a dimpled joint is a different animal than a flat
riveted joint. In the former, the dimpled skins share the shear load at
that joint with the rivet (although off the top of my head I don't know
the exact distribution). In the latter, the rivet is taking 100% of the
shear load at that joint, and the load is only concentrated by counter-
sinking the harder/stronger metal on one side.
Again, I urge you to contact Vans and discuss the construction of your
firewall if it doesn't match the drawings/instructions. Van is a very
capable engineer, who probably doesn't want to make the job any harder
for us than it already is, so the dimples are probably there for a reason.
All that being said, it's entirely possible that the loading at this
location is such that countersinking is acceptable. But without either
having it analyzed professionally or getting confirmation from Van that
it was okay, I would not recommend changing the design at such a
critical location in the structure.

Rich,
You bring up a good point. If you buy a SKYMAPIIC for list price, then tack
on the "permanent" antenna, the panel mount, etc.. the price ends up in the
neighborhood of a KMD-150.
That being said, you can routinely pick up the IIIC's on the internet for
$1500-1800.00 which is SIGNIFICANTLY less than a KMD-150.
Also, the cost of the antenna is a mute point, because you have to buy it
for the KMD-150 also. The supplied antenna for the IIIC works fine. It's
mounted flat on my glarshield and is only 3/4" tall, 2x2" square and is
conveniently colored black.
I agree the KMD-150 is a great unit, but there is no reason you can't have a
IIIC completely installed for $1000.00 less than the KMD. Not much money
for those who already have lots of it, but for some of us it buys a radio!
(Or half a Dynon Unit)!
Cheers,
Stein Bruch

Yesterday I called Pacific Coast Avionics to ask about the SkymapIIIC and
the KMD-150. What's the difference, besides the price? The KMD-150 is about
$700 more than the Skymap, but from the ads it's hard to tell what the
difference is. Both are color. Evidently, they have about the same features
the primary difference is that the Skymap is designed as a portable unit and
the KMD-150 is designed for panel installation. The Skymap can be panel
mounted but you have to buy a special kit and, I believe, you need a
permanent mount GPS antenna too. By the time you buy the extra stuff the
cost will be pretty much the same and the KMD-150 looks better on the panel.
I am going to go with the KMD-150.

--> RV-List message posted by: "David Carter" <dcarter@datarecall.net>
Chris Good,
Thanks for calling attention to your excellent website. I've looked at
others (not all, by any means) and have seen others who have posted "some"
info on their RV - but your site is absolutely fabulous! Total
documentation of anything I could think of to look up.
- I highly recommend this web site to anyone building an RV!!
Just yesterday I got my courage up again and did the first update/practice
on my own primitive website since Nov 2000. I've changed computers since
then and had to find and learn how to use a different FTP uploader pgm, and
made a new checklist on how to add "daily" (periodic) update pages to the
site.
Now the wife & I need to learn how to download pictures from our digital
camera we bought last Fall and have never downloaded.
I am at the stage of creating schematics and wiring diagrams for my RV-6
electrical system, and plan to use IntelliCAD (open architecture clone of,
and compatible with, Autocad ), starting off with, and modifying, Bob
Nuckoll's drawings and symbols. I noticed your nice wiring info - color,
etc. What program did you use to create such elegantly simple and clear
graphic info?
About your website, did you copy source code from someone else - like I do -
and modify it? Or, did you have a professional web site person design it
for you? I have the 27 page "NCSA - A Beginner's Guide to HTML" document
that I printed off the internet - I use it for my main reference for HTML
stuff . I create & edit web documents with Notepad, the simplest text
editor. Any tips for us new guys to "web site documentation of our
projects"?

--> RV-List message posted by: Chris W <chrisw3@cox.net>
As I was looking into what it is going to take to get my PPL with my
handicap, I read about paraplegics flying using some kind of contraption
to work the rudder pedals with their hands. I don't even want to think
about the complexity of the use and design of that mechanism with a yoke
type control. While I don't need any modification to the standard
controls, this got me thinking, and I think I have an idea for a similar
adaptation for an RV or most any stick controlled airplane. At or near
the top of the stick you could have two handles welded to the stick on
both sides. Then you could have it setup so it could twist inside it's
mount. Then down at the pivot point you could have some kind of
connection to the rudder cables. Then to activate the rudder, you would
just use the handles to twist the stick. It would take some work to
design the connection to the rudder cables, but rigging it up to twist
and welding the handles to the sides of the stick would be pretty easy.
I don't know if anyone knows some one that could benefit form some thing
like this but I thought I would throw it out there just in case.

Chris,
I admire your determination! You should also consider the need for
differential braking in your design. Hand brake levers on each "handle" or
something like that. Unless you will always fly with a "brake operator" in
the right seat, in either model (tailwheel or nosewheel) differential
braking is absolutely critical for ground ops.

While I'm all for saving money, I'm curious about the outputs of the Skymap
IIIC versus those of the KMD-150, most specifically the output
rate... I've found in the Skymap manual that it outputs nav info at a rate
of once every two seconds. The manual for the KMD-150 doesn't seem to
mention the output rate.
I have no experience with this interfacing autopilots and GPS units in
vehicles as fast as RVs are. Is once every two seconds is enough to keep
an autopilot from weaving around the chosen course? In smooth air, that
shouldn't be an issue, but what about bumpy air?

Chris,
There was an RV-6 builder/pilot at Arlington last year who uses a
wheelchair. I believe he had suffered his injuries in Vietnam. I remember
seeing an article about him in the lasts year or so, probably in Van's
Rvator. I'm sure others on the list know him, if his controls and
experience would be applicable to your situation.

His name is Carl Hey and he lives in the Portland Oregon area. I've ridden
in the plane with him and it's a real slick setup. Not the way you
describe but with a pair of "control sticks in the middle of his RV-6
(taildragger) just aft of where the throttle quadrant would be. It works
great, I got one of my first rides with Carl about 8 years ago.
He's a parapalegic from a Bonanza accident so he knew how to fly before he
built the plane. He's since toured the country with it and has been a
speaker at many events/forums/workshops for the handicapped including
Special Olympics.
There have been a few RV's modified for folks with one arm (motorcycle
throttle), this is the only one I've known with full hand controls. The
writeup is in Sport Aviation a few years back, I'll try to look it up tonight.

This is essentially what I did. Thanks Thomas for the input and to all the
other reply, most honorable mention is the idea of dropping "PLUMB" lines
through the rudder hinge points and maring a line from there to one created
by the point of a plumb bob dropped from the trailing edge of the rudder
itself. Then by swinging the rudder out to the side marking the angle made
on the floor between the original "in-trail" position and the full right or
left rudder position. I ended up at 34 degrees, once the rudder stops were
drilled.
Thanks to everyone who responded. I've been on this list for nearly 6 years
and don't recall seeing this before. A sign I'm getting older.

--> RV-List message posted by: "thomas a. sargent"
<sarg314@earthlink.net>
Sorry to see your email a few days too late, but I haven't check my
email in a while. I just did the rudder angle measurement. Normally
when I mount the rudder, elevator, or aileron, since I know I'm not
mounting it for the last time, I don't use a bolt. I use a tapered pin
made from a short piece of 3/16 rod from the hardware store. I wrap a
few turns of masking tape around one end it to keep it from sliding
all
the way thru the mounting hole. To measure the rudder angle, I
replaced
the pin in the top rudder rod-end bearing with one about 8 inches
long,
so it stuck up an inch or so above the top of the VS.
Then I took a piece of poster board and drew out a straight line
that points forward along the long axis of the plane and a few other
lines pointing aft at 35, 34, 33, degrees either side of the line.
Where the 3 lines intersect, I punched a 3/16 hole. Then I mounted
this
ontop of the rudder by sliding it down on the elongated 3/16 rod
described above. You'll need a step ladder so you can look down on it
all from the top.
Cut the forward dimension of the poster board so it is 1/4" or so
short of the forward tip of the VS. You can now rotate the
posterboard
so the forward end of the line points precisely to the forward edge of
the VS. The portion of the poster board that is aft of the 3/16 rod
should be cut to a radius about the 3/16 rod that is just long enough
to
almost cover up the aft tip of the rudder. The aft tip of the rudder
should be sticking out a 1/4" or so beyond the cardboard. So, you now
have a protractor mounted to the VS and can swing the rudder side to
side to see if it swings far enough and where to position the stops.

--> RV-List message posted by: Gary Coonan <gcoonan@comcast.net>
I had lots of inquires on the UPS SL30 & GX60 I posted for sale, but I
accidentally deleted the responses when I was trying to get rid of all the
nonsense threads of late. So here it is again.
Brand new never mounted or powered. Purchased in Sept 02 and 26 month
warranty is transferable (confirmed by UPS)
Sell
GPS GX60 w/GPSS $3,550 $3,795
$ 5,195
NAV/COM SL30 $2,850 $3,125
$ 4,155
Annunciator ACU $ 0 $ 625
$ 695
$6,400 $7,545 $10,045
I prefer to sell them together, so I will give priority to anyone who wants
both. My primary purpose is to sell the GX60, so I will not sell the SL30
before the GX60.

Dave (and others),
This may not be of great concern to you now but please consider what the
amperage output of the alternator will be and the lower RPMs.
Personally, I think it is too low as it is already. Unless the engine is up
around 2500 RPM (I think) you ***MIGHT** be disappointed if you are
expecting 30-35 amps.

Mark Landoll sells such a pulley at a reasonable price. I have one and it
is beautiful, turned out of aluminum and with lightening holes. . I have
not used it as I decided the =B3stock=B2 auto pulleys seem about right, for the
modern alternators.

--> RV-List message posted by: BBreckenridge@att.net
I blew it. After planning to go (by car) to the RV fly-in in Langley, BC (http://
www.vansairforce.org/CYNJ/), my student pilot wife is unable to get away. I live in
Clackamas, OR, about 20 minutes north of Van's in Aurora. IF there is anyone local
who'd like a non-pilot passenger in his RV and would like to attend, I'll cover
the room
cost (2 double beds, already booked) for Friday and Saturday night and split the
AvGas!
Please contact me off list and we'll see if it'll work out. I know, this appears
to be nothing
but a cheesy way to get a ride in an RV - I already got my ONE ride at Van's...!

As I understand it:
Alternators can run easily at 16,000 RPM and in fact they will operate quite
effectively at RPMs that go much higher than that. At 'very high' RPMs that
are closer to and into the 20,000 RPM range the belt flexing can cause heat
to build up that could or will contribute to early in service failure.
The more modern thinner glass fiber multi-groove belts can stand the higher
RPMs and or the smaller diameter alternator pulleys that are found in the
more recent auto production years. The need for higher alternator RPM at the
lower engine RPMs has become increasingly important with the advent ever
more complex and higher running loads of modern vehicles. The alternators in
these new vehicles are very unlikely to ever reach high RPMs that could
cause damage from over speed conditions.
Consider the engine RPM that some of the exotic sport vehicles reach and
estimate the alternator speeds that can be created with potential sustained
engine speeds that would kill our average driveway hog's engines.
If anyone can add to, update or otherwise correct any misinformation that
they find here please do so.

PPT? You mean PTT push to talk switch I bet. Can you find someone with
same radio to substitute? This of course, is the real easy way.
Otherwise, check connection from radio connecting pin to ground by removing
radio and probing it with a test bulb connected to B+. Lite should lite
when PTT switch is pushed and not otherwise.

Bruce,
Cheesy!? not at all! I kind of thought your offer showed a noticeable touch
of class. I'm sorry to say I don't live down your way and that my RV is not
flyable (not finished yet).
If I was in your vicinity I would be glad to go out of my way to provide the
kind of transport you seek.
I expect you will have a number of calls and good offers.

Chris, Carl's setup is very functional and he would be a good source of
info. He took me my first ride in his RV-6 a few years ago and the
rest, as they say, is history. If you don't find him, let me know off
list and I will see if I can find his number. Doug Shenk, using the

It is great to get some real RV information coming in again. Thanks guys!
A few days ago, a thread appeared on rebuilding a 320 engine. I asked
whether that impacted the insurability of the aircraft, but nobody had any
answer. John Helms, are you still here? Has anybody who built up his own
engine had any problems with insuring it (assuming they told the insurance
company, of course)?
It also applies to the XP360 kit engine. I am sure a lot of us would love
to save the $$ and enjoy the building if we could be sure that the insurance
companies would accept it.
