Pilotportal.com has a map light that fits on your headset and you can turn it off and on with your tongue. It's small and the batteries are in a small pouch on the side of your headset. The 4 light array fits on the bottom of your mike boom. Wherever you turn your head, that's where the light is. Works great. I use it as a backup system.

Nelson is a *great* RV destination, a unique location, right on the lake, and within walking distance of great accommodation and restaurants, in the heart of beautiful southeastern British Columbia. The web site http://flynorth.com/nelson.html contains more information and a picture of this great airport. If you can take a few minutes to write an email supporting the continued operation of the airport in the future, it would be much appreciated by all concerned. If can be shown that the airport has the potential to draw visitors to the area, along with all the attendant benefits, I'm sure it will make a difference. If you have any specific question, please contact me off list so as to avoid list clutter...thanx...

Cool. How much? I was really surprised, but when I dropped my headset off the guy suggested that they _might_ have time to do the conversion in time for me to pick them up before I left. I had only wanted to try and save a little on shipping ... but never expected that kind of fast service. :) I dropped them off the second day of the show, they ended up having time to do the conversion (I'm guessing at their hotel), and I picked them up that next Sunday. Fantastic service. Their website (http://www.headsetsinc.com) has details on their pricing but what I went for was the basic conversion with the gel earseals ($189) the replacement 3-plug cable ($19), and I had them do the install ($50). It came to around $260. For folks close to building, they have a panel mount power supply which replaces the little plastic battery box. When I'm working on my panel (which will be sometime in the next decade .. as I'm the slowest builder you ever met) I'll pick one up and that will make for a very nice installation (IMHO). One note on the cable ... you don't have to get it but the alternative is to drill a small hole in one earcup for the cable to the battery box. The replacement cable is a much neater installation. I also had them do the install because .. frankly .. I have enough projects to deal with and didn't want to take on another. A case of trading some money for time, and your tradeoffs may be (probably are!) different. I probably could have found a used ANR headset on eBay for the same money, but I _love_ my old Dave Clarks and didn't want to part with 'em. I upgraded only one headset to make sure I liked the conversion, but I'm seriously considering converting the other one so passengers can have the same level of luxury and hearing protection. And before you knock me spending money on passengers .... realize that my most regular passengers are my wife (who is supportive of my building and tool habit, and helps me rivet) and my kids (whose hearing problems *I* will have to pay for if they crop up, and who both help with the work on the plane as well). -- Dwight http://www.openweave.org/RV7/ RV-7 / working on wings / QB fuse on order Obligatory Disclaimer : I'm not affiliated with Headsets Inc, nor do I get a kickback for everyone from the RV list I send their way.

I was given my endorsement yesterday evening. Here's how it went: My instructor was still having a difficult time keeping me from flaring and ending up in a sort of "hybrid" 3-point/ wheel landing. After three approaches yesterday, he made me promise that I would not pull the stick aft no matter how bad things looked...just keep alignment and no drift. In exchange for my promise not to flare, he promised that he would save us if it got nasty. (Famous last words) All the way down on short final, he kept repeating "do not flare, do not flare...) Whammo! Stick forward, but slight tail-bob followed up by a slight hop which I immediately caught with a little forward stick upon the 2nd landing contact. Not pretty at all. At this point he is congratulating me on breaking through the barrier by doing exactly what he requested which was a no- flare landing. (One that would have damaged a tricycle gear, no doubt) He then explained that what he had told me to do was totally incorrect, but that he wanted to demonstrate that even if I botched it, recovery was no big deal. We then got serious and put a subtle flare in the remaining landings since he had broken me of my ground-shyness. What a great time the last two weeks have been! That sweet 'ole Luscombe put the fun back into my flying. Don Alexander RV-8 Wings do not archive PS- We also almost witnessed a Cessna 182 groundloop on takeoff. With four people on board, they started their takeoff roll with the yoke aft. The tail dropped to the ground within the first 50' of the roll. It dragged down the runway with the tail occasionally scraping, and as it got light, a slight gust hit it and they were all over the runway swerving before it was brought under control. They must have had a bag of rocks in the luggage compartment. ________________________________ Message 23 ____________________________________ Time: 09:43:37 AM PST US From: mitchf@netscape.com (Mitchell Faatz) Subject: Re: RV-List: Ramp Fleas now "The Shirt" --> RV-List message posted by: mitchf@netscape.com (Mitchell Faatz) Somebody apparently didn't like the image I was using, so the address I have below won't work until I find a new one.

Tailwinds, Doug Rozendaal Doug, Yes, the RV-8 does have a listed Aerobatic gross weight of either 1550lb or 1600lb depending on which wings you have. The later match hole pre-punched wing is the 1600lb and is the dame as the wing used on the RV-7. The gross weight on the RV-8 is listed at 1800lb. I think the big difference between the RV-4 and the RV-8 is with a light RV-8 you can do aerobatics with a passenger. In my case at 1031 empty I can fly aerobatic with 1/2 fuel and a 200lb passenger and still be below Van's published numbers.

When you shut off the ignition and an engine continues to run, this is called "Dieseling." Detonation is when the air fuel mixture explodes instead of burns and causes extremely high cylinder pressures and temperatures. Detonation is caused by combinations of poor fuel, bad timing, overheated cylinders, excessive boost, or too high of compression ratio. If you shut off your airplane with the mixture and it continues to run, you have a problem in your carb/fuel injection system. Dieseling is cause by shutting down when the engine is too hot. You might have some carbon deposits or excessively hot cylinders that are lighting off the air/fuel charge in the cylinder, but I would bet on the carb problem. Did you shut it off with the mixture?

Hartzell would really, really like you to limit your aerobatic flapping about to 4 g with this extension.

I owned this 172 jointly with my brother who just bought out my half as the 6A is nearing completion. We did all our own maintanence and found it rather easy to work on. Did the oil pump gear & the venturi change plus mag updates and that's about it. After 1800 hrs over 28 years it still goes 40 hrs per qt. of oil. Climb could be a bit liesurely at gross wt. on warm days but always adequate. Not bad for an 0-320 hauling four people on auto gas yet! Cruise has averaged 6.0 gals/hr for many years.

I'll tell ya --> RV-List message posted by: "Paul Stratman" Hey Gang, The reason "Friends don't let friends fly Plastic Airplanes" shirt site disappeared for a time is a disappointing story to tell. I can honestly say that every single person I have met that is either building or flying an RV are genuine, honest likeable folks. That is until today. On a trip to Key West this year, 4 of us RV guys were able to take a spectacular formation photo. I turns out the shot was so good, it won Avweb's photo of the week. Last night a guy by the name of Mitchell Faatz of CA, (mitch@netscape.com) building a 6A decided that with this photo, he could make a buck or 2. So he opened a site on cafepress.com. Well, I don't mind at all sharing our travel experiences with others. But I do mind other folks trying to make a buck off someone else's back. So this morning after finding out about the tee-shirt site with my photo on the back, I had it shut down due to copyright violations and just plain irresponsible actions on the part of Mr. Faatz. His response to this was "Somebody apparently didn't like the image I was using". I mean really, great idea, but how about a phone call with the offer of a couple of shirts for the use of a photo? Some may say, what's the big deal. That photo didn't cost you a thing Paul ? Well, that photo represented 4 peoples hard work and dedication to a fantastic hobby. A total of about 13 years of build time. roughly $260,000.00 in capital investment, not to mention the gas to fly for the photo op. So please, in the future, if one of the "flying" guys provides the RV community with a beautiful shot from the air, remember, they did it for your motivation. This type of activity is what makes the RV community so great! I know a guy that provided all of us with this type motivation while I was building. Not only did his inspiration help me to complete the project, I believe it saved a life in the process of someone very special to me.

Something is leaking fuel or not shutting off completely. This is a common problem on the AFP injection system and is why the purge valve is recommended. I had this same problem on my -6, O360/AFP and it finally got so bad that I had to shut it down by turning off the fuel or the mags but the purge valve fixed it completely. I also can't see how a bad float in the carb could be the cause since the mixture control should shut the fuel off completely regardless of the float position. Bottom line is that it's getting fuel from somewhere.

While the below is a lovely sorrowful tale, it's came about a little differently on my side, and not so cold and calculated as is made to appear below. You see, all day I see emails saying "we want shirts that say friends don't let friends fly plastic airplanes". Hey, this is something I can help with, I have this tshirt thing set up which I've only used to make the occasional custom tshirt/hat for myself. So I look around for a picture and figure something in the RV photoshare is something I can grab quick to make the shirt more interesting for us RV builders, and people that have posted these pictures for sharing wouldn't mind. Wow, what a judgement lapse at midnight for me, I understand that now. Don't worry, I am genuine, honest, and even likeable. But I made a mistake of thinking this was just a shirt for a couple friends on the RV list and that it was okay to grab a picture shared by someone from the same group, without thinking of intellectual property and such. Sorry. You could have just emailed me immediately and I would have done the same thing and removed the image immediately. The whole thing about 13 years and xxx $$$ culminating in the sole purpose of this nice picture is a little overblown, but I understand it was wrong to grab your picture without asking. This wasn't the huge commercial undertaking you are making this out to be, but even so I did wake up this morning thinking "damn it Mitch, why didn't you wait and email that guy to see if he wouldn't mind me using that picture". ---- Formal apologies to Paul for not checking with him on using the photo. ----- P.S. If anybody has a nice inflight picture of an RV (or several), and would like to see it on the shirt, please let me know. Also, I have *no* idea what you want to see on a "Ramp Flea" shirt, suggestions welcome. P.P.S. I really don't want to be known as the 'tshirt guy', this isn't a business for me by any stretch of the imagination.

I don't think it is Cessna Bashing in particular but: when you start to compare the high quality of aircraft coming out of garages and basements, Wichita doesn't hold a candle to them. There is some amazing craftsmanship on so many more custom aircraft, especially the RV series, that seems to improve every year. I see a factory-built on the cover of a magazine and see wrinkles in the wing skins that would send shivers up the spine of an RV builder. And find a store-bought design that compares to what is in the custom arena now days. With few exceptions. How many people would not be flying if not for custom aircraft? Are Cessna's good aircraft? You bet. Does Piper put out a good machine? Absolutely. But give me my RV most any day (unless I'm gonna haul 4 or 5 people around; then a factory job might be better. Could take 'em two at a time, maybe.....) But I sure like passing those Arrows on a clear Saturday. I was at an airport the other day and a Cessna 206 was on the ramp and I walked up to it and all the ROUND RIVETS on the fuselage and wings startled me. Looked like it had some sort of a disease. Don't TOUCH that unless you want to catch it! You sure get use to the look of flush rivets. Michael Heck, some of my best friends are Cessnas............

A lot of people don't give a second thought to using intellectual property that is posted on the internet (In this case there was a second thought). This has happened to me and I didn't like it at all. In my case it was an employee at a well known kit airplane manufacturer who used my property (photos and ideas) in a for profit newsletter. When questioned about it, they gave a half hearted apology and an explanation that it was on the internet and they didn't realize it was my web site. I thought, at the least, I would be offered a years subscription to the newsletter. Nothing of the sort happened. Makes you feel kind of silly for going to the trouble of taking the photos, writing the accounts and making them available. If they are not even worth asking permission to use, they must not be worth much. Had I been asked, I, of course, would have cheerfully given permission.

The power (master) shouldn't make any difference. If it does continue after the mags are off then you've got at least 2 problems. One thing for sure is that it is getting fuel AFTER the mixture is pulled. Cy could very well be right on about the float problem but first check to be sure that your mixture cable is correctly adjusted to pull the lever on the carb all the way to idle cut-off. Then it looks like it's time to pull the carb. Dave WPAerial@aol.com wrote: > --> RV-List message posted by: WPAerial@aol.com > > When I shut down I also turned power off.
