| Subject: | Garmin 530 radio reception |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Doug Weiler" <dougweil@pressenter.com>
Fellow Listers:
One of our members who is not on the List has a recently completed RV-7A
with a multitude of electronic goodies. This aircraft is all electric with
dual alternators, batteries, and dual Lightspeed electronic ignition. The
primary radio is a Garmin 530. The antenna for this radio is located on the
belly (bent whip) under the seats (just forward of the spar carry-through
structure). His problem is poor reception from a ground station when the
airplane is pointed at the station. This is very directional. He says when
he turns the airplane left or right of the station (ATIS, for example), the
reception is clear and strong. But when pointed directly at the source
(from greater than 15 miles out), the reception is weak and scratchy. It
seems to be blocked by something.... nosewheel, ????... don't know.
Any ideas?? Has anyone else reported something similar with a tri-gear RV.
How about the antenna cable? It's a 50 ohm cable. How can he check the
integrity and performance of this cable?
Your help is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks

Anyone know how to change the ACS2002 screen orientation from
horizontal to vertical? I have an email in to ACS but thought maybe
someone on the list has done this already.
Thanks!

Hi Jim,
Tom Berge, one of our local club members has a vertically mounted ACS unit.
It was a software change done by the manufacturer. Looks and works great.
If you would like any further details, let me know and I'll put you in
touch.

Doug,
I'd suspect that the nosegear is blocking it. The fix of course, would
to put a tailwheel on it.

Hi Doug,
Hopefully it isn't a manufacturer change. I ordered a vertical
orientation and at that time they mentioned it can easily be changed
later by the user. Unfortunately how to do that is not documented, nor
does poking around the menu items reveal any clues. I guess I'll wait
until Tuesday.
Thanks!

Hi Doug
That big metal prop whirling around in front will disturb a radiation pattern.
Probably more than the nose wheel, especially in a descent. The bent antenna
on our -7 is about a foot forward of the rear spar and a few inches inboard from
the side. No directional problems have been noticed with many transmissions
directly in front. I would suspect the coax and connectors are okay as it
works fine in other dircetions. Best check is with a power meter inserted in
the coax near the 530 and check for reflected power.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Duane Bentley" <dbentley@fuse.net>
I have the external compass module and was planning on putting it in the
same location that Sam Buchanan described. One other RV 6 pilot who is
currently flying off his flight test time, made some rails and installed
it just forward of the HS deck, due to concern of the unit potentially
getting wet if installed on the deck. It's also a good spot, but
requires "one more trip" down the fuselage to mount.
I brought out my laptop and assisted with the calibration of his unit.
After grinding through the numbers, the computer said there was no
correction required. I also found no impact to the unit reading while
running the electric trim up and down.

I'm returning to Massachusetts and am looking for Hangar space - either shared
or private. Ideally, I'd like to find space at Sterling, Minuteman, Nashua, or
Fitchburg. Any leads would be much appreciated.

Good point, Duane. Your post reminded me that I sealed the Honeywell mag
in a plastic bag before mounting it on the HS deck. The bag was taped
tightly where the cable exited the bag.
Thanks for the reminder; I had forgotten about the baggie. :-)

| Subject: | Elevator Hinge Questions |
--> RV-List message posted by: "" <tx_jayhawk@excite.com>
All,
I had a couple of questions where I couldn't find real clear help on in the archives.
I would appreciate any help that can be provided:
* The drawings show to safety wire a "hinge pin" from the E-721 to the 606. Where
does this pin come from? Am I supposed to cut the hinge and drive out the
pin? I didn't see this detail at all in the instructions.
* Why do the plans specify to c-sink the 705 to the 606PP? I got ahead of myself
and dimpled those areas, and I do not see why I can't leave it that way.
* Anybody dimple the top and bottom of the 606PP (and dimple the hinge)? Got ahead
of myself here as well and dimpled the top before I realized it needed to
be c-sinked to accept the hinge.
* Directions state to "finish up" the area around the trim access before the skin
is closed. Given that I will have manual trim (and not ge the cable till much
later), can I close the elevator now?
Thanks in advance,
Scott

| Subject: | Access to bolts to VS to fuse |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Rob W M Shipley" <rob@robsglass.com>
I've followed this thread with great interest. No one so far has mentioned butyl.
This is also called dum dum by mechanics. It was used for many years to
install autoglass and is a black permanently sticky substance which is neutral
to steel and aluminium.
It comes in a roll of 1/4" or 3/16" cross section, either square or round. Each
roll is about 15' long but butyl can be stretched out to make longer and thinner
pieces. Small amounts can be pinched off to hold nuts onto the end of a
piece of wire or a screwdriver. It's commonly used to hold panels and wires in
place. Any autoglass shop should be willing to sell you a roll for a few dollars
and one roll will likely see you through one plane.
I'm happy to answer any further enquiries and if anyone in the San Diego area needs
some give me a call.

| Subject: | Fifth point seat belt hole? |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Jim Jewell" <jjewell@telus.net>
A while back someone put information on the list about how they used some HMWP
(white plastic) to make an adjustable cover or 'edge protector for their fifth
point belt. I have spent some time in the archives but have not found the right
words or combinations thereof.
Thanks

Hi Jim
Might be mine you were thinking of. Its on the VAF Western Canada Wing web
page, aircraft C-GJTY and follow the links for "more" pictures. When you get
the page with building pictures it's down at bottom of page.

Made adjustable gap so a unused buckle could never fall inside and jam
controls.
