Listers,
As you can probably tell, I am cleaning out my hangar. I have some full
leading edge tanks skins, for those that would want to make a very large
fuel tank. Asking $200 each. If interested, please contact me offline at
scottbrown@precisionjet.com.
Thanks!

Listers,
I purchased a Pitts awhile back and this chute came with it. I am not going
to use it. It is a very thin chute. Would work great for RVs. Chute needs to
be repacked. The last time I had that done it was $35 bucks. New slim line
chutes are running $1200. Best reasonable fair offer gets the chute. Not
interested in low ballers.

Guys, has anyone seen the military's new aircraft survival/egress knife? The link
below shows a picture of it with some info, and states that it can be purchased
on the web for under $50. I could only find one website selling it, and
they wanted $89 for it. Anybody aware of a less expensive source? Maybe if a
bunch of us were interested, we could do a group order for a discount...

Bill,
The weight reductions on the Renesis are said to be about 30% compared to
the earlier 13B. This is mostly due to the external parts (intake &
exhaust) that we don't use for aircraft applications. The core engine is
about 5 pounds lighter, nice but not a huge weight savings. The lighter
rotors account for the higher usable RPM & HP. The intake system for
aircraft use will be nothing like the one in the RX-8.
The large improvements in fuel economy are mainly at low throttle settings
(which is where it mostly runs in cars). At high throttle the improvement
is around 5%, again nice but not huge. The EGT is about 150 - 200 degrees
cooler with the new exhaust porting which is very nice.
New versions of the EC2 engine management controller for the Renesis are
already in the works. Also a new higher ratio gear drive (2.85 : 1) to
utilize the higher powerband (250 HP). Also rotates the prop in the "right"
direction for those who can't imagine using left rudder on takeoff. If the
idea of 8000 rpm just doesn't work for you the Renesis will still make 200 -
210 HP with the current 2.176 : 1 drive at a sedate 6300 rpm. Not bad for
an engine package weighing a bit less than an O - 320.
The engine will be available as a crate engine but will take awhile for
Mazda to fill the pipeline. Mechanic's net price on the engine is around
$5750.00, pricey for a car engine but not bad in comparison to a Lyc.

That plane was at OSH and was the most beautiful metal work I have ever
seen...it was done so well that seams between adjoining sheets of metal were
so tight you couldn't have forced a piece of very thin paper into the
crack...in fact, there was no crack. The flush riveting was beyond anything
I have ever seen on any military plane, or any RV for that matter, including
award winning RV's who's metal work is often outstanding. What a shame for
the loss of the pilot most importantly, and for a magnificant piece of
artristry.,

| Subject: | Low cost fresh air mask for painting Polyurethane paints and |
such
--> RV-List message posted by: P M Condon <pcondon@mitre.org>
Two fellow builders urged me to write this up for the Matronics group
since they both made a system like mine after seeing my air system in
person in my hanger....
I used my old scuba divers mask I had from 10 years ago when I got my
diver certification as a paint mask to supply fresh air (to me) when
spraying the "bad" paints. I used a Avery small, light weight air hose,
installed a male Avery coupling into the nose area of the mask and with
a small 5 dollar pressure regulator I "Tee" into the air for the spray
gun and force air into the scuba mask. Exhale thru your mouth and there
you have a "fresh air breathing system" for the nasty paints. Divers
mask also keeps your eyes protected during mixing and applying the
paint. Keey your air compressor up wind and 40 feet or more away from
you, and I even use a house box fan to keep "up-up" wind blowing on the
compressor to insure real fresh air gets into the compressor since I am
breathing the air. Finally, I am using one of those baseball sized,
orange inline oil and moisture filter/seporators to the fresh air
source to keep any oil fumes(from the compressor) from getting into the
breathing air. I suspect I would get fish eye in my paint as a indicator
or presence of oil....so far no tell-tail oir present in my paint, so I
assume there is no oil in my lungs. System works nice and there is
little to no cost here. I balked at the cost of the hobby-air
system...at ore then 600 dollars (shipping, tax and handling) I think
that excessive. If you purchased everything new, I doubt that you would
have 40 to 50 dollars into this "home brew" system.

| Subject: | Bought a GPS @ OSH and kept $350 in my pocket |
--> RV-List message posted by: Joel Haynes <joelhaynes@tds.net>
RV Listers
The following is an unsolicited GPS testimonial.
DELETE if not interested.
I went to OSH intending to buy a Garmin GPS196 (going price at the show of $850)
but ended up with the new Lowrance WAAS Capable AIRMAP 500 ($499) and had $350
left over. If you factor in the fact that the Lowrance unit comes standard
with every accessory including MapCreate software to create detailed land maps
when you are operating in land or marine mode, the price savings is even greater
since Garmin charges significantly more bucks for this feature add on.
In aviation mode, the Lowrance unit has a full Americas Jepp database with all
intersections, NDBs, VORs etc. as well as class B, C, and D airspace. Jepp updates
are available via internet download for only 35 bucks. It has NMEA output
through a single COM port supporting baud rates from 1200 to 115,200 so it
can be used to drive an autopilot such as the TruTrack. My favorite aviation
characteristic is the very nice HSI page with a fully controllable OBS setting
allowing you to easily navigate to or from any fix on any radial. This same page
also shows course, bearing, track, ETE, GS, Distance, Altitude, and cross
track error. Finally, it is very slim and light and fits nicely into a pants pocket
when you're on the ground (while maintaining a satelite lock). When you're
hiking, it plots trails and allows you to store more waypoints than you would
ever need. When traveling, the MapCreate software allows you to load in detailed
land maps complete with addresses and map loc!
ations of restaurants, hotels, emergency services, etc. in large geographic regions
of the U.S. The LCD screen is easy to read but is smaller than the 196
(3.0 inch diagonal versus 3.8 for the garmin). While the HIS graphic is very nice
and responsive, the numerical readouts for distance, course, etc.on that page
are a bit small (the HSI rose is big). However, it does have a nice backlight
feature for dim lighting. It's also very nice in direct sunlight. In an
ideal world I would like to have the larger screen of the 196 and the price tag
of the AIRMAP 500 but that ain't gonna happen for a while. All in all the 500
gives you a lot of GPS for a great price.

| Subject: | F696 fit to fuselage |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Tim Bryan" <tim@bryantechnology.com>
Hello listers,
I have a question regarding the fit of the F696 braket (fuselage to wing
tank ). If I were to bolt the bracket to the T605 Tank bracket flat against
each other the F696 will not fit flat against the fuselage. Or vice a versa
The plans don't show it but am I supposed to install some kind of a wedge
spacer on one end or the other?
Also I have heard talk of sloting one of these brackets to allow the wings
to fold back in a crash without rupturing the tank. Is this so? and if so,
which bracket should get the slot?
Thanks

I guess the energy is going into the output shaft rather than into
the exhaust.

This Renesis set-up is going to be a screamer. Sounds like we are
getting close to 1 lb per HP firewall-forward package weight. With the
tight cowl these engines will fit in, this should make a VERY fast RV.
I was wondering how they boosted the HP so dramatically without an
increase in displacement. Duh, RPM. These engines wear like iron anyway. Do
you think sustained operation at this higher RPM will make a difference in
the TBO for the engine?

Tim,
The instructions for my RV-8A says that the brackets may need to be shaped
or rounded to fit the fuselage. As for the slot, Van's has an inexpensive
kit that has the instructions and a few small pieces of hardware if I
remember correctly, that shows how to do it. I remember that one of Van's
tech support guys didn't agree with the instructions and liked his way
better. I don't remember what his way was.

You need a big hammer to either open or close the bend. Remember reading

Hi Tim,
I think you will find reference to bending the fuselage mounted angle either
on the drawing or in the instruction manual. I'm working from memory on
this, its been about three years since I did this.
I remember bending mine in the vise as follows:
Clamp in vice with soft jaws in place.
Put large flat metal mass on top of the angle flange.
Hit with short handle four pound sledge with moderate force.
Adjust degree of bent with lighter hits.
Trial fit pieces in place on the air frame.
Finish shaping of flanges after bending both parts to fit.
The slot was not indicated on my older plans and drawings set. the concept
came along a bit later and I am not sure if it is now indicated in or on
some form of Vans documentation or not.
The slot can be in either one of the flanges. As the slot is there primarily
to take the load in vertical shear the idea is to get a the slot to have a
good close tolerance fit to the bolt shank.
I suppose all four brackets could be slotted without loss of attachment
integrity.
when fitted the bolt should be tightened to a low torqued snug fit to allow
the tank to pull cleanly away from the fuselage in the event of mishap.(:-(!

I agree with John completely. I only allowed myself a few minutes to look at
it at OSH (damn!) but I have never seen an airplane so beautifully built.
Not in 10 Oshkoshes attended so far. Inside the wheel wells you could see
the gorgeous varnished dark brown mahogany wooden spar joined to the
fuselage structure with polished metal brackets. It gave the impression that
every single piece of metal on the airplane was polished alloy. It was a
work of art.
What a terrible shame. I weep for the pilot, his family and the plane.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Doug Rozendaal" <dougr@petroblend.com>
I spoke with Jim Wright for half an hour Monday morning while I was waiting
for the WX to clear so I could leave. He was as excited as a school girl at
the prom and that was after a whole week at OSH. It was a goregous airplane
and it is a terrible shame!
Thoughts and prayers to all.
Tailwinds,

First of all, didn't you buy a Airmap 100?
The biggest reason for a Lowrance over a Garmin is the towers are listed
with the altitude to the top in the Lowrance and not in the Garmin. Towers
make a great landmark for correlating what you see on the GPS with the
ground and the chart, and even better when you scud run you can stay clear
of them.

I wasn't aware that an engine came with both plugs installed.

1435. I say SEEMS because there may be some ambiguity. According to SI
1435, to configure for fixed pitch operation, the front expansion plug must
be removed, and the seal located a few inches aft must be pierced or on some
engines, a 1102 pipe plug removed. Then the front expansion plug is replaced
with an STD-1211. At least, this is how I interpret SI 1435.

Lycoming 0-320 D1A. The ENGINE INSTALLATION CHECK LIST says and I quote:
"IMPORTANT DOCUMENT. 1)Drain the preservative oil, 2)pre-oil the engine,
3)The crankshaft expansion plug: If the engine installation requires a
variable pitch propeller, you must remove the expansion plug from the front
of the crankshaft prior to installing the propeller. then it says: IF THE
INSTALLATION REQUIRES A FIXED PITCH PROPELLOR, THE PLUG SHOULD STAY IN
PLACE." It seems to be in direct conflict with service instruction 1435. I
called Lycoming tech. support. He said leave the plug in place, your engine
is set up for a fixed pitch propellor. He said this after looking up
something on his notes and I think he confirmed with someone else. I am
still not confident of what to do. I am 6 to 8 weeks away from hanging my
engine, so I thought I would check this group and maybe even call Lycoming
back and see if I get the same answer. If!

| Subject: | Best 760 Channel VHF radio for an RV? |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Ernest Kells" <ernest.kells@sympatico.ca>
I have returned from Osh with a big question about which 760 channel VHF is
the best choice - for a 2 1/4" hole. Perhaps someone with better experience
could give an expert evaluation for the archives, based upon what we heard
this year. I am interested in "VALUE", not necessarily the cheapest (or
most features).
The evaluation criteria should include cost, features, ease of installation,
availibility and quality of wiring harnesses, availibility of an integrated
Intercom (with wiring harness, etc.), maintenance record, TSO? Quality of
documentation, etc., etc. I have looked at the XCOM, MicroAir MA760 and
the Becker. Are there others?
Anyone interested in taking this question on ? ?

Ditto Curt.
Wow, what a bummer.
I too saw the plane for only a couple of minutes or so BUT spent more time
talking to the pilot and builder (he said he was one of MANY people who
built it).
Makes it all so real when the first message you see after getting back from
OSH is about the death of probably the last pilot you chatted with while
there.
Just goes to remind us to be thankful for each day as tommorrow is not
promised.

| Subject: | R-710 rudder horn brace doesn't fit?!? |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Will & Lynda Allen" <linenwool@comcast.net>
So has anyone else found the pre-drilled holes for the rudder horn brace
that attach it to the 704 rib and 405 horn, not to line up? I could not get
the holes to line up for the life of me without putting so much stress on
the spar and rib that I'm sure it would crack before the plane was finished.
The bummer is that if those predrilled holes weren't there, I could've
drilled my own holes and it would've fit nicely......doh! I finally moved
on to the elevator until I had time to call Van's.
So this morning I finally call Van's. Someone there told me this has been a
problem for others as well and they are thinking about not predrilling those
holes anymore. In the meantime, he said they can't give me a non-predrilled
horn brace because they are already fabricated with the holes. He then
suggested that I cut off the flange that attaches to the horn and fabricate
a new flange that would rivet to the horn and then rivet to the brace. Not
my favorite option but I guess it will have to do. Just wondering if anyone
else has had this problem as he said, and if so, what solution did you use?
