For me, it's been over three years. No problems, so far. However, I did modify mine so that there is no slot on the outside of the fuse. I cut off the arms that extend to the outside, instead. I used one of the lock sets that came with my mag switch to lock the canopy, per the Orndorff tapes. It looks a tad nicer, that way. If I were going to do a slot, I'd want something as small as possible to make it look nicer. More robust means bigger hole in the side, which means more ugly. It may also be another hole for rain and cold air to get through. Sorry; but, I can find other things better suited for spending my money on than that. It did look well made, though.

Will, I used two different methods. One worked much better than the other. My first method involved grinding down a chisel to fit between both aft rivets. I ended up drilling several rivets out before I got acceptable AN3s in those holes. This took probably a couple hours to get these last two rivets. Since the emp is the first part you build, getting those rivets seemed to be a right of passage..........wrong!! On the second elevator, I discovered (as a result of the first method) MK-319-BS pops. This method took two minutes. Guess what, it will be fine, or at least it is with me. Others have seen my work and I haven't heard, "It'll fall out of the sky because of those pops", yet. As you go forward, you will find there are numerous places where you just can't make a shop head without three days of cussing, standing on your head, beating on someone else's head.....well you get the point. Pop it and move on. Dana Overall Richmond, KY RV-7 slider/fuselage Finish kit ordered!!

These are high-dollar (50 cents ea.) structural rivets that will not be discernable after you paint the airplane. Having said that, I don't think it's a big deal to remove your mount from the fuse slightly to squeeze these rivets, especially if you have the castle nuts on the engine side. I would take your hoist, lift the airplane, slide a support under the fuselage. Then I would put the hoist on the engine, remove the six castle nuts on the mount bolts, and ease your engine/mount combo forward slightly using the hoist until you can get your squeezer in there. Not a big deal. But not something you want to do late at night when you're tired! It will have an entirely different perspective in the morning.

I've got a depressing long list of stuff to finish off. I'm just trying to scratch and claw my way through the fibreglas while it is warm enough to sand outside, and to keep the garage door open. The wheel pants aren't quite finished, so I started at them, and realized I needed to make a decision on the screws. I want something that looks as good as possible without being a maintenance headache. Judging by the comments I've gotten on and off list, the fibreglas doesn't stand up to the screw holes as well as I hoped. At the moment I'm pondering using truss head screws. -- Kevin Horton RV-8 (finishing kit) Ottawa, Canada http://go.phpwebhosting.com/~khorton/rv8/ ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 06:30:57 AM PST US Subject: Re: RV-List: Digiflight 200 vs. Digiflight 100 From: Denis Walsh --> RV-List message posted by: Denis Walsh Dave just doesn't want to admit he ever flew an airplane with an autopilot but I know better.

One alternative bucking bar that I used was made from a "splitting wedge" sold at Home Depot and similar places to split wood logs for firewood. Heavy, strong, and the right general shape to fit is small places, it will need to be ground and polished reasonably smooth. The extra mass compared to most bucking bars should be enough to do those last few rivets. As others have said, the alternative is to use pop rivets in these locations and move on to other things more worthy of your time. Many months from now, a trace of filler when you are getting ready to paint will disguise the evidence and probably nobody but yourself will ever notice the difference. Please be forewarned these will not be the last "tough to access" rivets on your project!

I knew I was going to need it, so I bought a 4 inch thin-nosed yoke for my squeazer. http://www5.mailordercentral.com/clevtool/prodinfo.asp?number=SNYT45&variation=&aitem=11&mitem=13 This slipped right in without a problem. I use this 4" yoke for riveting more than any other. The real pain in the butt are the last four outboard rivets on the rear spar on the left elevator (the one with the trim tab.) I made an S-shaped bucking bar from a 2 ft chunk of 1/4" x 1" steel bar. I felt like I had passed the blacksmith final exam when I was finished bending, grinding, and shaping this bucking bar. ________________________________ Message 15 ____________________________________ Time: 08:21:22 AM PST US From: "Randy Lervold" Subject: Re: RV-List: Acrylic plexiglass vs. aluminum - long but important. --> RV-List message posted by: "Randy Lervold" > Epilog: > I am going to use the unibit to enlarge the holes to 1/4 inch, practicing on > some scrap plexi first. > I don't think this will leave much of a countersink in the plexi, and I'll > use very short pieces of rubber tube as "bushings" around the screws.

New 360 engine, new prop, Sam James cowl, plenum, speed mods etc, Infinity grips, B&C alternator, and the list goes on.

IMVHO, it's not much of a threat. Only slightly greater between pure Al and cast iron and carbon steel. The water is a must for galvanic corrosion (electrolysis). It, with a salt or other impurity, would be the electrolyte.

The company has asked me to come up with an estimate of the tools' values, so that we can settle on a price (and so that they can justify said price to the bean counters, I presume). I have no idea how to do that. I have an idea what I'm willing to pay, but are there any accepted rules of thumb for such a situation? I recall hearing many years ago that a value of X dollars per pound was sometimes used to estimate the value of industrial equipment, but I don't know if that's just heresay, and I have no idea what X is. The tools are a 24-inch bending brake, a beverly shear, a Whitney punch (with some dies), and a small arbor press.

One is a perfect anode and the other is a perfect cathode. Without protection between the two, a bare piece of steel, and bare aluminum will corrode in quick order. Being a civil engineer by training, I can tell you we spent lot's of lab time examining this phenomenon (albeit years ago), but maybe some chemical engineer on this list will provide more details. Now, for real world examples...having worked on many large boeings, I've been able to experience this first hand. Engine Pylon fittings on the 757 ended up with severe corrosion because of this, as did the pylon fittings on the 747. No need to go into detail, its very common with untreated metals, but can be prevented with good surface treatment, even alodine. Sorry I don't have the chemical "di-electric" formulas, but suffice to say it's a real world issue.

I felt the same as you regarding use of blind rivets and NOT wanting to remove the engine/mount as it required a helping hand to hold back the mount bolts.......so: I made a bucking bar just for this application out of a 5 or 6 inch long hunk of steel about 3/4" X 3/4". I made a cutout or groove in one end so it would 'hook' around the back or the engine mount. It worked great and saved me a lot of grief....plus I felt better about the rivets I used. I'll be more than happy to mail it to ya' if you have trouble making one. Just give me a yell and it's on the way! Rick in Ohio at the Buffalo Farm > PRE-PUNCHED strikes again!

I've seen it mentioned that a builder somewhere had his grinder explode on him due to aluminum and steel shavings mixing and forming thermite. My recollection was that it happened somewhere on the west coast, possibly Vancouver. I've heard it mentioned enough times with similar details that I doubt it's a complete fabrication, but i've been unable to find out who the builder was so I could try and get more info. In mentioning the story to a few of the old-timers around the airport, most of them instantly replied that the story was hogwash and that it "couldn't happen." Can anyone substantiate it?

Your steel and iron grindings tend to oxidize when they are knocked off by the grinding wheel (sparking stuff). The iron binds with oxigen to form rust. during the reaction with aluminum, the aluminum reacts with the oxigen and the iron is reduced back out. It is this iron which tends to form a molted puddle in thermite welding and weld whatever yer welding together. During this process a tremendous amount of heat is generated, enough to weld large steel parts which would otherwise sink/conduct to much heat away for proper welding. There, more than you ever wanted to know, if you need more info do a search for thermite welding in google........... Gert J. R. Dial wrote: > --> RV-List message posted by: "J. R.

I.e. they change the From address in the e-mail to make it appear that they are coming from another address found in the Address Book. See: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sobig.f@mm.html It says: "From: Spoofed address (which means that the sender in the "From" field is most likely not the real sender). The worm may also use the address admin@internet.com as the sender.

You can get a worm or a virus sent to you in the name of someone who has absolutely nothing to do with sending it. It most likely didn't come out of his computer at all. The virus or worm found his address in someone else's address book - maybe yours - and is sending out its crap in his name. It could and probably will happen to you and to me (a virus will be sent in our name). I am running Norton Anti virus that scans all incoming AND OUTGOING mail to insure it is virus free, as many others are. If you get a virus in my name, it didn't come from me or through my computer.

As a offshoot of Jerry's question, if you don't already know how this virus works, here it is: The "worm" is sent as an attachment (.eml, etc..) in this case a .PIF. You WON'T get infected if you don't open it. Once opened, the worm then goes to your address book, and re-sends itself to everyone in your address book. Here's the nifty thing though...it doesn't send the email "from you". It selects names randomly from your address book and inserts that address into the "from" line of the email. This is why many people, including myself that aren't infected, supposedly end up sending messages to other people. The worm simply inserts someone elses email address into the from line, even though the address isn't the one sendint it. If you have a comprehensive SMTP/POP/IP tracing program and you trace the emails back to their IP's you'll see that 99.9% of them aren't sent from the people listed in the "from" line. This is not the typical worm where you can tell who is infected. Sometimes people are infected without knowing it. One thing for sure, worms like this count on people who will open anything in their email box, and don't have a good Anti-Virus program. If your virus definitions are up to date, they would have already caught this thing, as many peoples did. The sad thing is, there will ALWAYS be people who open anything in their inbox, no matter how many times we tell them not to open things they don't already know what they are.

I'd rather have the chart out from the outset. When my wife and I fly XC, we constantly cross check the sectional against the GPS. We also drop breadcrumbs on the chart with a time stamp. If the GPS poops out, we always know where we are on the chart. Now granted, this may be overkill, but it is also fun, forces you to look outside and helps to keem my wife from getting bored. She gets excited when she says, "hey thats KXXX" and I look down at the moving map and she is correct". I also use her to keep me sharp. As long as we aren't doing flight following, and are in cruise flight, she has my permission to pull the throttle and anounce "you just lost your engine, where will you land" It really gets your attention in an RV4 when all you can see is the throttle suddenly move (rear seat linkage) Laura also has my OK once we are in cruise to turn off the GPS and ask me to fly to a specific airport on our route of flight without any electronic navigation. Remember, any idiot can "navigate" with a moving map GPS. We should strive to be better navigators than that. Don Mei p.s. Interesting thing happened to my GPS 195 yesterday. While flying, for no apparent reason, it suddenly showed snow on the screen, then performed a hard reset. It had to reinitialize itsself and all my preferences, waypoints, etc were lost. No big deal. Biggest hassle was it started pestering me with those damned "airspace" notifications. Law that forbid ownership of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined, nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants. They serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. --Thomas Jefferson Help protect your PC: Get a free online virus scan at McAfee.com. ________________________________ Message 74 ____________________________________ Time: 09:36:32 PM PST US From: Rob Prior Subject: Re: RV-List: Worm attack on members address book --> RV-List message posted by: Rob Prior At the risk of propagating this thread even further...

I have been considering gluing the canopy to the frame with an automotive urethane adhesive .. This reportedly used with great success by a couple of builders in South Africa, (I think). Has anyone else on the list any experience or observations on this. FYI the urethane adhesives of this type have moderate flexibility and great strength - 500 psi or more. Primers for use with Plexi are available and I don't believe that interaction with the acrylic is an issue.

Clark" Subject: RE: RV-List: Biggest GPS Screen Lowest cost. --> RV-List message posted by: "James E. Clark" Wayne, I know alot of people mentioned the SkyMap IIIC vs the KMD 150, but note that the KMD 150 can drive the autopilot directly. I am not sure if that is the case with the IIIC. In the two adjacent RV6's we have, one has the 150 and the other the IIIC. I personally think the 150 is brighter. The 150 has the ability to display Stormscope input (that might not be of interest to you) and it has a "CDI" display mode. SO if you are really into using the VOR-type displays, you can "goto" KXYZ and fly the needle. The database card is right out front on the 150. It is also easier to get a better rack fit with the 150 if that matters. Just a few extra points if you are thinking along these lines. If I had to choose between the two, I would choose the 150. (Guess which one I fly behind). **BUT** they are BOTH fine units.

Any good AV software will scan incoming files by default before they get executed and, again by default, will alert on suspicious files even if there is no specific virus detected; it's called heuristic detection algorithms. I used to get occasional alerts from my McAffee before my ISP started filtering at their servers. What I see from most of my clients is that they have disabled the AV because it was alerting due to normal-but-suspicious processes like uninstalling a program or because they ignored an alert because the attachment came from someone they knew (which later turned out to be spoofed). The rules to staying virus-free are simple: 1) Install AV software and keep it up to date. 2) Do not disable the AV software (except when installing some programs - they will tell you in the installation instructions; then enable it again before going back online). 3) Think carefully before disregarding a virus alert. Think again. Then get expert advice. 4) Never open an unexpected file, even if you know the sender, without getting independent verification that the file is clean. Caveat to #4, I have known people to unknowingly send infected files, so it is still possible to receive a 'legitimate' infected file. However, I have yet, in over 20 years, to see one that my AV software didn't catch. Finally, for all you Windows users, use the Windows Update feature. Not only will this prevent some virus exploits, it will also block some other networking holes that hackers use to access private computers. Generally, as fast as the hackers find them MS is able to plug them. For example, the server worm that clogged large parts of the Internet last year would never have worked except many servers were not up-to-date.
