Thanks to all who responded to my query on how to modify teh instrument
panel rib on my RV6A slider. Most everyone did the mod during construction
but I think I can accomplish something similar even though mine is already
flying.
Thanks again,
Ned

--> RV-List message posted by: Parker43rp@aol.com
Listers: Thanks for the many replies to my inquiry on the mounting of Van's
tachometer. I mounted the tach generator with its 12in. cable on the firewall
using an angle bracket to match the natural angle of the generator at that
position on the firewall. I fastened the generator through a hole in the
bracket and held it in place with a thinned-down 5/8-18 nut.

I had the same questions, and asked Vans about them. Per their instructions, I
did as George recommended to you. Vans suggested simply zip-tying the unit
(which I could do with the oil pressure line right there, but the bracket per
George's suggestion may be a better solution. The risk I see in zip tying is
that once the aircraft is flying, the vibration MAY allow the generator to
rotate around toward the firewall, and then eventually vibrate against it.
For what it's worth...

Received my unit last week. They had said initially early April, when I
emailed them to confirm they said end of May. Seems like they are getting caught
up
on orders. The remote magnetometer is still to be shipped. If you are
concerned email them, they are very responsive.
I am glad I waited, it is a great piece of equipment.

| Subject: | Dynon D-10 IFR Advice |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Brad Benson" <brad@cds-inc.com>
Hey All,
I'm just getting started on my instrument panel and am planning on putting in a
Dynon D-10. Since I am planning to be able to fly IFR I am thinking I will
use the D-10 to replace only the gyro compass and the attitude indicator, leaving
the rest of the six pack in place (altimeter, turn & bank, ASI, and VSI).
My question for the group is this: Does that seem reasonable? If the D-10 itself
fails, I still have the T&B to fly on (and I do practice partial panel !
:-). If the electrical system fails, the built-in battery backup of the D-10
will keep it going. My feeling is that it is at least as reliable as the suction
instruments (and associated systems) it is replacing.
Does that make sense?
Thanks!

I am not Jim but I will give a short response here ...
The IK-2000 is focussed *primarily* on supplying "engine information"
(temps, rpm etc/)whereas
the D-10 is focussed *primarily* on "flight information" (attitude,
altitude, airspeed, heading).
One could easily have both as they primarily serve *different* functions.

I carry a portable CD player in my RV-4 that is rated as Hi G-resistant to
jolts ( I guess its designed for Joggers). Sometimes the machine skips or
just stops. I have recently seen scratches in the form of uniform swirls on
the outer 1/2 inch of the disk. Now some of the tracks show permanent
damage when inserted in my home CD player. Am I destroying my CD's? Do any
of the CD restorer products work?

Having just flown in the SNJ at APV I can tell you that it's light on the
controls, Jim did reduce power as Tom approched for photos. Would not want
to instruct from the backseat however as you can't see s--- forward. We came
over the fence at 75, rotated to flare at 65 and touched down will under the
60 mark, rock steady on roll out, just like the HRII. Handles like a giant

Solution:
You can download your ENTIRE collection of CD's to an Apple iPod.
Sort it any way you wish. Easily.
Manage things more fully on either your PC or Mac (works fine with either).
Sounds great. Beautifully engineered.
Then leave your valuable CD collection at home.
And also works, to a large degree, as an information manager.... (possibly
alleviating your need for a Palm Pilot, at least for addresses, contacts,
etc.)
Geee .... Apple should hire me.
Well, I guess I just really think my iPod does what it does very very well.
Regards,
Robert

I know this doesnt answer your question but have you considered a
jukebox/mp3 player. All of your music in one hand held device that will
plug in just like your cd player.

Friends of mine have had good results with the CD polishers to get the
scratches out. However I have a better solution to your problem, actually
two. The first is to record the songs you like from all your CD's to your
computer as MP3's then record them back as standard audio CD's or as MP3's (you
will need to get a portable CD player that will play MP3's if you go that
route, they aren't very expensive any more, $100 or less) then take the
recorded CD's with you in the plane. Eventually the high use and vibration in
a plane is going to get to a CD and when it does just toss it and record it
again. Blank CD's are cheap and you can record a lot more songs (80 min) than
come on the typical CD (about 45 min). If you use MP3's you can get over 10
hours on a CD. All my CD's stay in a box in my closet and I just play the ones
I have recorded, since I only record the songs I like, I don't have to skip
past any songs I don't like. The other solution would be to get a portable
memory based MP3 player. Memory cards are cheap enough now that you can store
several hours of MP3's on one. With no moving parts you will never hear a skip
again.

--> RV-List message posted by: SportAV8R@aol.com
I think my wife and I are nearing the point of getting adventurous in our old
age and thinking about how cool it might be to actually travel a bit in our
RV to places where a rental car was not the first necessity upon arrival.
Camping with the plane sounds like a way to recover some of our lost
youthfulness... but so much has changed since we camped as kids or as young parents
in the
80's. Would those of you who are now adventuring in this way give us a heads
up on some of the new hi-tech gear we should be shopping for? Obviously it
has to be able to fit in a -6A, so the lighter and smaller, the better. We are
also into comfort, so I would especially cherish any advice on good sleeping
gear and shelter.

That sounds reasonable to me. I am doing a similar panel, but with 2
1/2 inch gauges for the backups, and no VSI. I think you are on the
right track to say that the EFIS is at least as reliable as the vacuum
gyro system. With regards to an "electric system failure" I suggest
that you buy Electric Bob's book before you start wiring, and you'll
realize that with a properly designed electrical system, "total electric
failure" is up there with "wing just falling off" in terms of probability.

That's *exactly* what I'm doing. I added a vertical card compass to the mix
as well, so that I'll always have a heading reference regardless of the
state of everything else.
And when all else fails, a Garmin 196 seems to be a good last resort
fallback.
Just say no to moving parts... 8-)

Solution #2: Archos Jukebox Multimedia (www.archos.com)
Archos makes a few different models of the Multimedia Jukebox, that have
some additional features over the iPod, at the same price points. My
JBMM 20 (20GB of storage) has a 1.5" Color LCD, and can play back MP3's
as well as Pictures and AVI movies. It also comes with a Compact Flash
adapter that allows you to download the pictures from your digital
camera when the card gets full, a 1.3MP camera module that lets you
record stills and AVI movies (with sound) straight to the HD, USB 2.0,
Firewire optional, and AV cable to connect to your home stereo/VCR.
Not to put anything down on the iPod, it's a beautiful device. It's a
little smaller and lighter than the JBMM, has a nicer user interface,
and Apple's strong brand and service organization. But the JBMM does a
fair bit more for about the same amount of money.
(Disclaimer: I work for neither Archos nor Apple. I'm just a happy
Archos owner.)

I camp at each Oshkosh and SnF. I carry enough stuff for myself and a
buddy, and we camp fairly comfortably. My "starter" set includes the
following:
1) Therm-a-rest self-inflating camp pads. Get the wide, long, thick ones.
You'll be glad you did. They are very comfortable, relatively light weight,
and take up much less space than foam pads. Here's mine:
http://www.rei.com/online/store/ProductDisplay?productId=9130173&storeId=800
0&catalogId=40000008000&langId=-1
2) Unless the weather is COLD, I don't bring a sleeping bag. Instead, I
carry a pair of old top sheets from a single bed and a fleece blanket.
Easier to modulate the amount of insulation you need, and packs better too.
3) A lightweight 2-3 person tent. Currently, I'm using a two person tent
which has an exterior vestibule where I can store stuff. It was ~$100 from
Galyans. A three person tent is MUCH larger inside and you can have your
clothes and food in the tent with you if you're not camping immediately
beside your flying storage unit... Of course, the three person tent is much
heavier. I couldn't find the one I have on-line, but here's a link to a
similar tent from REI:
http://www.rei.com/online/store/ProductDisplay?productId=47592792&storeId=80
00&catalogId=40000008000&langId=-1
4) A flexible cooler. Nice for keeping a dozen drinks and some sandwich
meat cool. Also doubles as a backup carry-bag for the trip home when you've
consumed all the consumables, but bought three t-shirts, a book, and a
thingamajig that don't fit in your bags...
Beyond that, get a good light. Coleman makes a nice battery powered
lantern. Good for in-tent reading at night. Also, it will light up a fair
sized campsite.

Hi Lucky,
The Dynon D-10 is an electronic flight information system (EFIS).
I bought and built the two Rocky Mountain Instruments (RMI) their "uEncoder"
and "uMonitor" a while back. Aside from the many other features it offers, I
intend to use the uEncoder as a digital back up for Heading, Airspeed, VSI
etc.. I also have a separate altitude and airspeed gages on the panel, So I
guess I have both beltand suspenders and also my Wellys (gum boots). (g-)!
The RMI uMonitor will be used for digital engine monitoring. the IK-2000
came out quite a while after I chose the RMI equipment.
So far I am satisfied with and like the RMI products and I highly recommend
Ron and company any time. Their products work as described and they are very
pleasant helpful people. Things ordered and or sent in for repairs (owner
damaged in my case) or warranty are very promptly returned.
Good product, Good service, good backing, great people!! Happy customers are
made of this!
Opinion:
I like the idea of full engine monitoring, graphic or digital, your choice.
I also know that many aircraft have flown without the aid of such modern
things as electrical systems etc.. None the less, Information provided and
used correctly in a timely fashion offers the opportunity to have more time
for other things such as looking out for what is coming at us {;-)!
The IK-2000 looks good and if it lives up to expectations will do well in
the instrumentation market.
Hmmm I've got room on the panel still....?!!.....Nah, Enough already!

What ideas have some of the rest of you used to cover the section of rudder cable
that runs beside the seats? Is there a good way to hide it behind a panel so
that it will stay out of the way of passenger seat belts etc? Seems like it's
a bit too far away from the wall to simply put a flat interior panel over it.

Hi Andy,
You could run a length of PVC or Vinyl tubing between the formers for the
cable to lay or run inside of.

Looks like your dimples are too deep, which could be a factor in creating
"extra" stress. Also, by the sharp edges of flush rivets being down inside
the dimple, there could be some "sharp edge stress/wear" going on.

Andy you realy dont need anything there. If your taking a non pilot for a
ride strap them in so they dont get tangledin the cable. Other than that it
is a non issue. Remember the more stuff you put in the more weight you
have...and it does add up.

Hi Andy
Not sure this can be done, but after looking at the pictures I thought if it
was my aircraft I would experiment and use a small hypodermic (sp) needle to
inject some expanding foam insulation through the stop drill holes to try
and bond both sides of the skin together and prevent oil canning or any
tuning fork type vibrations.
No cracks at 150 hrs on my .016 skins but I have one rivet at the aft end of
my rudder that seems loose, I applied Locktite studlocker and it seems to be
holding it secure. (studlocker took paint off)
Good luck,
George McNutt

The MP3 players are the way to go. No skipping, easy to use, customized
playlists, etc. Plus, the title of all the songs appear on the LCD screen,
so you can scroll though all of the songs to the one you want without
listening to the beginning of each or looking at a legend that you put on
the CD or CD case.
Can't beat the price nowadays. I got the portable one so I could use it
while exercising, flying in other airplanes, etc. I have 128MB model that
has an additional capabilty of 128MB. 256MB total gives you several hours
of music without changing CD's.

Check any boat store, they sell a vinyl split tubing (usually in white)
used to cover the lines on boats. Very light, cheap (about $2 for a 6
foot length) and improves the looks. For this price tear it off and
replace it during each annual, to inspect the cables.

For those of you on the List still second guessing about building that slick
plastic plane should read the following post on the Aerolectric List.
NOTE: This question is only about using plastic ties ! ! !

One of the simple answers:
>> The stick on type just don't hold up. I remove the adhesive from the
back, drill several small holes around the edge of the base, then 5 minute
epoxy them in place with a strip of duct tape over them to hold in place.
Without the small holes to give some tooth for the epoxy they can pull off
since the epoxy does not bond well to the plastic. <<

--> RV-List message posted by: "Jordan Grant" <jgrant@sw.rr.com>
The RV-6/A builders out there:
I am pondering my Airflow Performance boost pump installation and
fuel line routing for my RV-6. Can some of you that have done this
alreay give me a short description of what you did? A search of the
archives yielded some info, but not a clear answer on a good way to do
this.
My working theory right now is to adapt the high-pressure boost pump
mounting stuff that Van's makes for the RV-7. I'm not sure how this will
work because of the differences in the RV-7's wing spar carrythrough
bulkhead design. Has anyone out there made this work in the RV-6?
Thanks,

Several of the RV's around Lubbock have covered the rudder cable with a
white plastic tube that is sold by boating companies. It is slit long wise
and fits the cable. It moves with the cable. It keeps from wearing the
uphostery.

I talked to Ken at Van's 3 days ago on this topic. He says DO NOT USE
EXPANDING FOAM. It will trap moisture and cause corrosion and when sitting
in the sun, will begin expanding again until the rudder is round. He
actually did it on a rudder on another brand of kitplane. He is not guessing
about the outcome. DO NOT USE EXPANDING FOAM !
I got to thinking later, and wished I had asked Ken, why not fill the rudder
full of the Styrofoam peanuts you use to package items for shipping? No
weight, no vibration and costs about 2 cents. :)

I'm making up my big money list in preparation to drop a load.............of
money, course I might drop the other kind of load when I write the check
very shortly, and have a question for the list.
My panel will have a Dynon unit along with TC, VSI, AI, ALT and Verital card
compass. I've decided to forgo the nice wiz bang engine monitering systems
in leiu of simple guages for MP, OP, OT and CHT, EGT. I'll use the money
saved to buy my Tru Track. I'm putting in a Garmin GNC 300XL approach
certified GPS/COM unless I can find a used 430. I want to view all four
CHTs and EGTs at the same time. I don't want to use a switch and only one
head for each EGT & CHT. Has anyone used the Westach Quad guages for EGT
and CHT? If so, how do you like them. If you are doing something somewhat
the same........but different, what did you use?
Anyone know of a good source for used approach certified GPS/COMs. I'd just
like to kill two birds with one stone and am familiar with the Garmin 300XL
as I have that installed in my Bonanza.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Dan Checkoway" <dan@rvproject.com>
I would think the adaptability of the RV-7 AFP kit for the RV-6 would
largely depend on the width of the center cabin cover (space between the two
inboard floor stiffeners). I think the biggest value of the install kit
that Van's sells is that you have a pre-fab platform and cover shroud for
mounting the pump and filter. If that wasn't going to fit in the RV-6 then
I wouldn't bother with the install kit, just make your own.
FWIW, on my RV-7 the space between those floor stiffeners is 8". Is that
the same on the RV-6?
Looks like the price of the kit is about $70 more than just buying the pump
& filter alone. I don't know...looking back, it seems like it would be
pretty easy to make an .040 mounting base, cut some slots...and clamps,
rubber channel, tubing and fittings are cheap. The cover shroud would be
pretty easy to make as well.
Easy for me to say...coming from an RV-7 builder. But hopefully this info
helps in some way. Good luck!

Andy, this is interesting. I doubt your problems are workmanship, but
rather, the floating stiffener design. A couple of questions about the
9A:
1. What is the skin thickness on the 9's?
2. Do the stiffeners float, i.e., do they attach only to the skins (and
not to any other structure) as do the earlier models?
3. Did Van recommend to put RTV in the area of the trailing edge? He
did in the 6's, at least in my 93 vintage plans.
4. What engine/prop do you have?
If you are going to rebuild them, I would absolutely find a way to tie
the stiffeners to the spar on the front edge and use some goop to keep
the aft edges stabilized. That is what I'm going to do on the
inevitable rebuild.

Andy, Thank you for sharing this with us. I was reading your post below
from April 28, where you were describing some stall techniques. I am
curious If Vans had any input as to whether they felt this may be too
aggressive for the 9A. Possibly overstress the rudder? Maybe your
workmanship is perfect. The skins may need to be thicker with the
floating stiffener design. I guess it will take time and a few more
examples flying to see how much of a problem this will be. Are the 4 and
6 skins .016?
good luck, Tom RV-9A fuselage
>As for stalls, if you want to have some fun with them. Roll over into a
80 degree 4G level turn, then pull back until it stalls. It happens at
about 90mph and throws you to level. Or another fun one is fully cross
controlled rudder & aileron, pull into a stall and bam you're inverted!
Nice... Don't try this on the base to final turn that's for sure. But
like Ivo said you have to really try to get this type of behaviour out of
the RV9, it's not in the standard flight conditions that you will find
it.
>Q: Are any aerobatic maneuvers permitted in the 9A?
>Has anyone tried some?
Define permitted... Remember these are homebuilts, they have limits that
must be obeyed, they don't have "restrictions" per say... :)
Lots of sky turning can be had within +4.4G -1.7G Utility category limits
that the RV9 is built to.

Nah; I thought about it but decided that's where the antennas go... I don't
really know how much it helps, but I know you won't find an antenna in the
slipstream anywhere on my plane anymore. I put the last two inside the wingtips
last week. GPS antenna is on the glareshield, ELT antenna in the baggage
window, XPDR antenna in the wheelpant, Comm ant. in one wingtip, 2 meter ham in
the
other. It may not increase speed, but it makes it much easier on the hands
to wash and wax the plane :-)
Never had any problem fitting anything I truly needed for a trip into the
baggage hold, but with camping gear, one does have to watch the weight and volume
add up.
Tell me more about stoves, coolers, chairs, etc...

Well, I thought I had solved my charging problem when the adjustable voltage
regulator checked out bad at a local repair shop. I had the field wire to the
alternator plugged into the E terminal on the alternator instead of the field
terminal during the first engine run and figured that fried the regulator. I
put a new regulator in and was told by the shop to connect the unused yellow
wire from the regulator to switched 12 volts from the alternator switch in the
panel. I'm using the control vision EXP bus to supply power to the field of
the alternator. My Vision VM 1000 unit shows 12.7 to 13.3 volts but 25 to 39
amps output from the alternator. This is from Van's 35 amp alternator with
just lighting (strobes, nav and landing lights) on. Any thoughts on where to
look for a problem? What should my amp output be at 1000 RPM with just minimal
lighting on? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. First flight as soon as
I get this sorted out.

I wonder if there is evidence that the AOPA is moving toward the high end,
business jets and other expensive stuff and EAA is flowing into the small
aircraft vacuum that is left. I also wonder if most of AOPAs membership
isn't owners of airplanes under $250,000? Where would they be without

The answer is they would both collapse.

I just fitted this RV-7/9 central cover in my RV-6A. The floor channels
are the same distance apart. The front match to the firewall recess may be
slightly different... my early Vans firewall recess (bent to shape) seems
to be deeper than the present recess, so the top of the area that forms the
"heat plenum" may need to be trimmed a bit.
The aft end is different, since the RV-6A has a "V" shape on the floor just
ahead of the spar, while the RV-7/9 is flat in this area. So the fuel
selector support probably won't fit.
Except for the floor profile, everything else seems the same...
