    Subject: GPS Antenna
    --> RV-List message posted by: Rick Galati <rick6a@yahoo.com> Listers, I am going to mount a GPS antenna under the cowl onto a small shelf fastened to the firewall. I do not have a GPS as yet. I need to know the dimensions of your average panel mount GPS antenna in height, length and width to insure that the shelf is fabricated to an acceptable size. Thanks in advance for any suggestions as to the proper surface area of a generic GPS antenna shelf mounted under the cowl. Rick Galati RV-6A FWF ---------------------------------

    Subject: Great Product for Clamping Top Skin
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Ken Brooks" <kenbrooks@charter.net> I found an inexpensive, very effective product if you are drilling your top skin. It's a Pony brand band clamp from Menards (or others) that has a 15' orange nylon band and a black ratchet mechanism. The strap is wrapped around the entire fuselage and a piece of cardboard was taped to the side skin where the ratchet sits. Costs $9.50 and after using it, we couldn't believe how smooth and straight our skin turned out. They cinch down nice and tight along the rivet lines. We left just enough room next to the band for the cleco. I bought two, one for the instrument panel line and one for the middle row. For the firewall, it was easy enough just to use rubber-tipped lever lock clamps since you can see everything nicely lined up. It's the right tool for the job!

    Subject: Dynon IFR
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Will & Lynda Allen" <linenwool@comcast.net> Doug, Does the Dynon replace your DG? And it so, does it have a heading bug to drive a heading hold on your autopilot? I've been thinking about this Dynon unit myself for IFR but would only find it feasible if I could replace Vacuum AI and DG with it and then have the other 4std instruments (electric TC, Airspeed, Alt, and VSI) for failure backup. Do you use a TC or does your Navaid replace that sufficiently to be a backup for bank? Thanks, -Will Allen North Bend, WA RV8 -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Doug Rozendaal Subject: RV-List: Dynon IFR --> RV-List message posted by: "Doug Rozendaal" <dougr@petroblend.com> I now have about 16 hours on my Dynon and flew my first IFR with it this weekend. I was going to Minot AFB this weekend for Northern Neighbors Day (airshow) and Friday morning the Metar was 1/2 mile Vis and clear. The perfect day for a first IFR trip because the haze went all the way to 8000 ft, you could see the ground, barely, but absolutely no horizon. I took off and hand flew the airplane for sometime and then turned on the Navaid. Aside from my previous concern about the Dynon sucking you into the cockpit, I now have another concern, The display is so precise, that I fear I will become an EFIS cripple. Meaning I may not be able to fly steam gauges anymore. I can so accurately keep the wings level, the heading almost never wanders. Same true with pitch, The VSI behaves more like an IVSI and you can find a pitch that will yield a certain rate of climb or decent and hold that pitch perfectly and the Rate of climb (or decent) never wanders. What a device. By the time I got into ND the haze was burning off, and I started to notice the device was indicating a slight ~3 deg roll to the left. I centered the ball and checked my wingtips with the horizon and no doubt about it, it was indicating a slight bank. I thought, well here we go, this thing won't hold a calibration...... I tried slipping for a while and see if I could have any effect on it, but when I centered up, it was still off about 3 deg. I was not too concerned, I used to fly a 402 frieghter that had a horizon that was off, about the same and I flew it that way for several years. I was the airboss for the airshow, so I had bigger fish to fry and did not worry about it. On Sunday, I hung around Minot with Warren Pietsch and we swapped airplanes, and I flew his 180 hp clipped wing Taylorcraft. What a hoot!!! He flew the RV and he really liked it as well. Last night I left his place and climbing to altitude I noticed the Dynon still had its bank error, so I decided I would have to send it in. I leveled at 11,500 turned on the Navaid and settled in for a 440 nm trip. (2+58 min, 22.5 gallons against a 10+ kt headwind, I love this airplane!) Shortly after level off, I looked at the Dynon, and it was dead on..... Go figure???? Anyone else seen any wandering on the Dynon? I will email them and see what they say. I am still thrilled with the Dynon and still very willing to fly IFR based on the backups that I have on board. Tailwinds, Doug Rozendaal

    Subject: Oil filter mount gasket
    --> RV-List message posted by: "D. Jones" <dljinia@yahoo.com> I've just removed the oil filter mount in order to put a 90 degree fitting for the oil cooler line. 45 degree pointed at 7:00 o'clock doesn't work with the new constant speed prop govenors the 90 at about a 1:30 does. Different subject. The question: I'm ready to put the mount back in place. I was careful as I could be with taking the mount off. The gasket is not torn but there is a slight layer in some spots on the mount where the gasket didn't stay completely on the engine side. Hard to describe but think you get the drift... Should I uses some type of sealant here? replace the gasket? don't worry about it? Tried to find the answer in the archives but my search was leading me no where fast. Thanks in advance.

    Subject: Emergency
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Donald Mei" <don_mei@hotmail.com> From Previous post: If my GPS fails . . I'll declare an emergency ??!!!??? With all due respect; are you kidding. You do what you need to do to conclude your flight safely. Knowing your limits shows good judgement and that is the most important thing. But I'd suggest you practice without a GPS once in a while. I can not begin to imagine a situation where my GPS failing (in VFR conditions) would even be concern for not continuing on to my orignal destination. I'm not ex-military, I don't fly for the airlines, heck, I've only got 600 hrs since I got my ticket 3 1/2 yrs ago, so I'm no expert. But, and I believe this very strongly. If you need a GPS to find your way home in VFR conditions, you shouldn't be in the air. Now, using a GPS to find an airport in all that urban clutter at night is another matter. My Garmin 195 gets turned on at the beginning of every flight, you never know when it can help save the day. But most of the time when I fly locally, there is a post it note over the display. Keeps me from getting lazy. Its also useful for keeping track of where I am when I'm in NY or Boston's Bravo's. Sorry if I sound preachy, but I hate to see otherwise good pilots become so GPS dependant. Don Mei 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

Neil Henderson RV9-A nr Aylesbury UK ORIGINAL MESSAGE --> RV-List message posted by: "Ken Brooks" <kenbrooks@charter.net> Dear -listers, Sorry to have to dredge up such a morbid subject (again), but I have some new info if you live/fly/register your project in Illinois. Not all states are this punitive, but it might pay to check this out in your state to verify. . . Any purchases a builder makes from out of state from retailers (this includes Van's kits, Cleaveland seats, Aerosport Power engines, etc.) for which you don't pay sales tax are taxable in Illinois at 6.25%, and if you don't pay this sales tax from day 1 and assume like I did that you'll have to cough it up upon completion and registration of your finished project, think again!
