Hi Doug,
I started by placing tape on the fuselage to prevent the skirt from chafing the
paint. I didn't like the look either, and glued a small rubber "U" channel to
the edge of the skirt. The channel is not clear as you would like, but is black
and does not seem objectionable. I installed the channel 100 hours ago and
it's still working well. You can buy this "U" channel from AS&S.
Good luck,

--> RV-List message posted by: "Doug Weiler" <dougweil@pressenter.com>
Greetings all:
My newly completed RV-4 now has about 45 hours on it. It is unpainted but
hopefully will have a striking paint job completed this fall. BUT... I hope
to come up with a good method to prevent the rear canopy skirt from
scratching the paint on the top rear of the fuselage. Maybe I was too
successful in getting a tight seal around the rear canopy skirt. Currently
I have it lined with Van's UHMW plastic tape and also some small foam tape,
but it still rubs and scratches the fuselage. I have seem folks put tape on
the fuselage itself to prevent scratches but it doesn't look real great when
the canopy open. It would be nice if there existed some thin, flexible,
durable, clear U-channel to put on the skirt itself.
Anyone got any great ideas?
Thanks

Steve, I just undertook the same thing a couple months ago. I got a lot of
responses from the list as I used the original 7 rudder as a "painting test
bed". The best way for me turned out going to a sign shop and having a
mirror image paint masking overlay cut on a vinyl cutting machine. The
rudder, for example, is drawn to size within the sign companies image
software. You could call the company and ask them what format your file
should be and draw your own. All they then do is overlay your rudder over a
self created checkerboard within their software or a checkboard they have in
their image files. You just position your file over the checkboard for the
look you want. In my case, we kinda morphed the checkerboard to get the
look I wanted. They then cut the masking material, do not use vinyl as it
sticks way too tight, peel off the blocks you want to paint and apply it to
the backing material. They give this to you. There is no measuring,
sticking each square or painting one and then the next. Paint it and peel.
If you want to do something other than the rudder, most cutting machines
will handle rolls about 3-4' wide and as long as you want. Most of these
sign shops will have to order the masking rolls.
This may be totally opposite of what you want to do but this is cheap, quick
and easy.
Here is the look I got.

Hey Steve:
You don't mention what area you might be doing...but in my experience,...
get your local sign shop to do it in vinyl (have 'em lay the black onto a
white part) -- much less frustrating. Choice #2 would be to get them to put the
pattern on in reverse, and then paint your pattern on, removing the sign shop
areas later. They have less sticky stuff for this type of procedure.
If it's transportable parts (tips, cowl, rudder), just take the parts in and
pick 'em up later -- an extension of the KISS principle.
Cheers!

I found the same thing. I also made a gauge like the one Dave
describes above.
What I also found was that I often had to trim rivets to half
sizes. A 4 was too short, but a 5 was too long. Thus, I would trim rivets
to 4.5. I suppose it would be easier to simply buy some half-sizes. They
are not terribly inexpensive.
Sometimes (rarely) the rivet size is not listed anywhere.
Also, I found that Vans did not supply enough blind rivets to
finish the tail. This seemed very odd because I only used blind rivets
where absolutely essential since I have nearly every riveting tool known to
man. :-)

I think this must be the same stuff Van's is now selling to protect the
flaps, in place of the stainless tape they used to sell. I used some of it
to protect the back of my pickup where the canopy door rubbed on the
tailgate.

You can do it but you must have a letter from the Mexican CAA giving you
permission to operate an experiemtnal aircraft in their coutry. And you
must carry that letter with you during the flight. Check out the airplane's
Operating Limitations. There should be a paragraph in there about this

Perhaps things have changed, but when I checked several years ago,
it was not unusual for your insurance company to forbid you to go to Mexico
without a substantial increase in premium. As I understand it, the problem
is theft that is condoned (often perpetrated) by local officials.

Mexico is a covered policy territory on all the policies available today(I
assume on AVEMCO as well). You can verify this by reading your policy... it
should be listed as policy territory in the index. This means that they
would pay a claim (liability or hull or both... whatever you've purchased)
if you had a claim down there.
The issue with the certificate is that the Mexican government requires proof
of insurance from a MEXICAN insurance company (to bring $ into their
economy). Most companies can provide this if they own or have an agreement
with a mexican insurance company, and normally it costs 85 to 100 $'s. The
reason to get that is that it prevents the Mex. gov't from impounding the
plane and imprisoning you.
The VanGuard Program has no such agreement and can't provide that
certificate. (However, you can get coverage in weeklong or monthlong blocks
thru Baja Bush Pilots if I'm not mistaken and it's about $110). This really
does nothing to change the fact that you're covered under an inforce policy,
which you would be if covered by the VanGuard Program.
Well worth it as a get out of jail free card for that place.

One of our local RV pilots suggested using the "fuzzy" half of a self-stick
Velco strip. I cut it to about 1/4" wide and stuck it neatly to the bottom
of the canopy skirt. This now seems to really work well. It allows the
canopy skirt to ride just a fraction of an inch above the fuselage surface
plus it is a tan color which is also the color of my interior.
Thanks

Michael:
It's probably a good idea for the airlines, but it might not be as useful in an
RV. Airbags are most effective when you're not belted at all, or wearing only
a lap belt. Even with a "Y" harness the added benefit of an airbag is much
less. With a five- or six-point harness and a helmet, the airbag is pretty
much redundant.
It probably would reduce the risk of head injury when you're not wearing a
helmet, IF the system is designed for your installation. Airbags aren't
generic. The whole system, including the triggering mechanism, needs to be
designed for the specific installation to be effective.

Just found this on EAA chapter 14 web site.
The saga of Mike Black's flight to Cabo in the Avid continues:
Bob,sorry it took a week to get back to you,but I need some obvious time to
regroup. I did recover my airplane and I'm in process of fixing it. Well
after the police figured out that I was traveling in a plane and not in a
car wreck as they originally assumed, I was taken to a store where I
quickly downed a gallon of water. The police were very insistent of me
going to the hospital,but I was very firm in my decision to return to Cabo
San Lucas as quickly as possible to pick up my truck and trailer and begin
planning my recovery process. Thanks to the very helpful boys in blue,I was
dropped at the bus station at 11:15 p.m. to my now changing luck,45 mins.
before the last bus to Cabo was to leave. It was a scheduled 8 hr. bus ride
and I found it very hard to sleep knowing how dangerous the road is and the
speed in which we driving. Tijauna taxi's have nothing on this guy I kept
thinking. I finally arrived in Cabo at about 10:30 a.m. or so the next day.
All I could think about is how I was going to drive that far without
sleeping. Well the decision was made. I needed rest and there was no way
around it! After reassuring everyone that I was going to be alright I
finally made it to sleep around 4:00 in the afternoon and slept well
indeed. By noon the next day I was on my way with my girlfriend and her
daughter for the campground an hour or so south of the area where the
police found me. We arrived there shortly before 8 p.m. and I quickly
scouted around for someone who needed some work. I met a Mexican guy named
Joel (ho-el)who seemed up to the task and we agreed on a dollar amount and
off we went. The dessert road that I walked out on was very tough on the
truck and trailer. At times we were traveling slower that a slow walk.
About a half mile from the "Bad Landing Area", we were greeted by the
military and several police.They were real adamant about us turning around
and trying again in the morning. One of the guys kept saying that there was
nothing left.He said a lot of things had been stolen. I could tell be his
nervous actions something was up! After more pleading thy let us pass,but
offered no help. At about midnight we were looking at the mess. Someone had
moved it causing more damage and all of my personal items were gone except
for the ones I squeezed into my backpack. My time has run out again on this
computer,but I will keep you updated on the repair process. MIKE

My understanding is that this system is not yet approved in the
Zenair 2000, although it is possible that this approval has happened
recently and I haven't heard about it yet. My last involvement was a
couple of months ago - we asked a bunch of questions about the effect
of an undesired deployment of the bag, and they were still trying to
figure out the answers.
Things to think about:
Yes, such a system might help reduce injuries in an accident where
the crash forces happened to be in the right direction.
But, the system is designed so only a single input is required to
cause it to deploy. Thus it is quite possible that a wiring fault or
g-sensor failure or other fault could cause the system to deploy when
it should not. Will the deployment of the bag push forward on the
controls? If so, you can easily picture scenarios where an unwanted
deployment could cause an accident (low altitude, or at high speed).
So it is quite possible that the addition of such a system could in
fact reduce the level of safety.

Yep, I'm planning and wiring for it. I figure it'll be the most reliable
way to have a good, accurate compass reading. Dynon said they'd probably be
ready to ship the compass units in "mid July," but we're sort of there
already and no sign of it.
But the wiring harness is trivial to run for it...just four wires in the
circuit, and Dynon said that using a 3-conductor shielded wire with ground
running through the shield would be fine -- that's what I did.

Does anyone know if it makes a difference where NACA duct is installed on
a -4 to let the most fresh air in?
I have heard that some places are more desirable than others.
Sorry if there is something on this in the archives on this. I don't have
Internet available here, only email.

| Subject: | AFP w/horizontal induction |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Dan Checkoway" <dan@rvproject.com>
If anybody out there has installed Airflow Performance injection on an
IO-360 with horizontal induction, please let me know. I'm having quite a
bit of trouble visualizing the control cable setup! AFP just told me they
haven't seen one installed on a horizontal induction engine yet. I was,
um...surprised to hear that. Surely I can't be the first!
The issue I'm having is that even if I move the throttle arm to the right
side (FM-200), the action is reversed, and the sump itself gets in the way
of doing anything useful with it.
The mixture is a whole 'nuther issue just like that, where I'm at a loss as
to how I'm going to rig up the control for it.
Any help is much appreciated.

I agree, I've been to some remote spots in Baja fishing and you do not want
to leave anything unattended ( cars, airplanes, luggage etc). I was told by
several locals that the local constable is the one you have to worry
about the most. If you have a mechanial problem and have to leave it, you
won't find much when you get back. Punta Pescadero might be the only
exception, as the runway is right at the hotel.

In our first RV-4 I put two NACA ducts in the right canopy skirt,one forward and
one aft. They gave very little fresh air to the front seat and were so noisy
I had to plug them to use the radio.
I didn't make the same mistake in our present RV-4. I use an intake from the front
of the engine on the horizontzl baffle, with only a 1" hose to feed into a
2" cut-off valve box on the firewall. This gives enough fresh air for 95 degree
WX in Arkansas. Of course I climb out to 4-5 K feet for cooler air.
Good luck,

I can confirm the evaluation of canopy skirt naca vents. Noise level is
about like an open cockpit biplane. Maybe worse.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Rick Fogerson" <rickf@cableone.net>
Hi Dan,
I'm installing an AFP horizontal induction on an 0320 and I assume the
situation is similar to yours.
Throttle - I am using a throttle quadrant so I need to have the throttle
lever on the F.I. move aft for full throttle. My throttle lever is on the
left and pointed up which gives me the correct movement. The problem
though, full movement of the long lever hole is 2 7/16 inches and of the
short lever hole is 1 13/16 inches. A hole half way in between would exactly
match the full range of the throttle cable which is 2 2/16 inches. Don
Riviera recommended drilling a third hole in the lever in between the two
existing and shortening the lever for clearance with the sump. I probably
will do that when I convince myself the lever won't be overly weakened.
Mixture - I wanted the mixture lever on the left side of the FI and to point
up to for better clearance from the cowl at the bottom. However, forward
movement of the cockpit mixture knob caused aft movement of the mixture
lever which was idle cut-off . This is non standard so I sent the unit back
to AFP to reverse the action of the mixture lever.
With the above lever corrections made and the quadrant on the left, my
throttle and mixture cables will go forward high enough to miss my feet and
then curve down and through the firewall at about a 45 degree angle and then
guadually curve up to align with the respective levers in a horizontal
orientation. Just need to keep the radius of the cable bends guadual and
use eyeball bulkhead fittings that allow for firewall penetration at up to
50 degrees off of perpendicular.

| Subject: | Re: checkered pattern |
--> RV-List message posted by: N223RV@aol.com
Seeing I just finished painting my RV-4 last weekend, including the
checkerboard tail last Saturday, I felt inclined to chime in.
I ended up masking and painting the checkers, and they turned out awesome!
Mine is red and black. I painted the red base coat first. I used 4" checkers
(really nice size on a RV-4, not too big, not too small). I used fine line
tape and masked off every other vertical row. Then I used masking tape to cover
rest. It only took about 1 hour to mask. I sprayed the black checkers and
let it dry for about 48 hours. Then I removed all the masking and masked
every other vertical row.
I also scuff sanded each square and cleaned real good with laquer thinner
before spraying the checkers. I know it sounds like a lot of work, but it
really turned out nice.
-Mike Kraus
RV-4, finally painted!

Subject: Metal lock nuts for 5/16 X 18 carb studs
Hi Listers
Does anyone know of a source for either all metal lock nuts or drilled nuts with
5/16 X 18 threads for the carb studs on the bottom of the engine. I would prefer
either one to regular nuts with locktite or jam nuts.
thanks,

| Subject: | KX155 Squelch Question |
--> RV-List message posted by: N223RV@aol.com
I installed some electronics in my airplane, and it now appears that it is
causing some interference in my radio. In particular it seems to act just like
the squelch needs to be adjusted on the radio, although I cannot find any
squelch adjustment. I have King KX-155, it has a pull to test (volume knob), but
that does not adjust the squelch. When I transmit or the tower calls out, the
radio is clear and fine, but when there is no transmissions, there is a ton
of 'white noise' or static. The noise is exactly the same sound and loudness
as when I pull to test on the volume knob. It appears to work fine on some
frequencies, but not on all frequencies.
I have adjusted the squelch on the intercom, but it just appears to set the
level for the voice activation on the mic, not on the radio. To me it seems
like I need to adjust the squelch. Is that possible on a KX155, I have an older
radio that is out of warranty so I am not afraid to open it up if there is a
potentiometer or some way to adjust it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Mike Kraus

| Subject: | right brake line across engine mount (taildragger) |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Dan Checkoway" <dan@rvproject.com>
Taildraggers:
I'm running the brake lines from the AN fittings at the firewall down to the
brake cylinders. Got the left side done no problem. The right side is
leaving me with a few choices, though, specifically how to route the
aluminum tubing along/through the bottom of the engine mount.
Is there a standard way of doing this, i.e. always route the right brake
line in front of the bottom lateral tube (in front so the tubing can be
removed in one piece without bending), use Adel clamps -or- electrical tape
& 1/4" tubing for protection, etc.?
Just curious if anybody has a photo or a description of their right brake
line installation.
Thanks in advance,
)_( Dan
