Ken, I haven't seen a public response to your question so I'll fire one off.
A couple things orient the skin the correct way. As a reference the first
prepunched rivet hole on the inboard side is a little over 1.5" while the
same hole on the outboard is a little over an inch. Now take the spar
marked either left or right. With the outboard and inboard rivet holes
spaced differently, the correct spar will only fit in one way. Now you have
a left and right aileron. The >1.5 rivet hole spacing is the inboard side
of the aileron, thus it defines the top of the skin. Now just take our
sharpie out and mark everything.

Thanks Dana and James,
It makes sense after seeing your two replies and one from the RV8 Yahoo list. I
should have looked a little closer. I guess I'm starting to rely too much on
"The List". I probably shouldn't be trying to intrepret the plans at 6:00AM either.
Thanks.

Direction? It can be done from any direction. If your coming in on a
downwind, or base, just keep it very wide and long. Remember this maneuver
is done at cruise setting. You are on "initial" at the 3 mile straight in
point. So if you call out say 6 miles left base for initial, expect the
controller to respond, "report initial", meaning get wide, head out for a
straight in. call initial at 3 miles as instructed.
All this is subject to your learning the jargon and what is allowed. At my
towered airport, which sees a lot of initials in many different types of
aircraft, they will take a single ship initial in say a left base and say
"report 1 mile initial" meaning they see I have no need to get 3 miles away
to set the flight up for initial since there is no flight and it is just me,
so they want me to just come barreling in and report 1 mile initial.
The purpose for the 3 miles "initial" or straight in is that when your
working a formation, when you hit that 3 mile mark and your barreling in,
your flight is pretty much committed and your gonna get into the pattern and
the tower needs to know that. The flight is not as maneuverable as a single
ship, and the flight lead is maneuvering the flight into the proper echelon
for landing (remembering that you ALWAYS break away from the echelon). The
flight lead expects that when he calls "3 mile initial" as requested by the
tower, he and his flight are committed to coming in and the tower had better
make sure he makes a hole for landing cause the flight is hauling A#@ and
there is no turning back. You could Not execute the break if someone else
has screwed up in the pattern or on the ground and just keep going straight.
That's a lot of verbage and hopefully your not confused by the words.
Excellent thread guys. Great input from some experienced pilots. Lots of
learning going on here.
And your right.. bet the number of requested initials this weekend doubles!
Have fun guys and enjoy a fun maneuver that the RV executes very well. And
this is a maneuver where the c/s guys get all the fun! You would not believe
how fast you can get a c/s rv on the ground when passing over the numbers
for a carrier break, 20'.... I mean 500' high at 220mph. Its amazing!

I'm loving this thread - I've heard this many times on the radio and
always wanted to try it. One more question: Is the "initial" done from a
predefined direction? Or is it done from whatever your approach
direction might happen to be?

Bill,
I've heard all kinds of initial and overhead calls...and the controllers
seem to get the picture as long as you say something close. But, this
is how we were taught to do it in the late 90's when I was in flight
school in Kingsville, TX, and how most fleet Marine and Navy squadrons
do it.
"Tower, Devil 255 flight of two, initial, for the break" or "...for the
carrier" meaning 600' AGL Aircraft Carrier pattern. The airforce calls
it the overhead, I believe.
The tower typically responds, "Roger 255, number 1 for the carrier,
report the numbers." Meaning you're first in line to land, report back
to the tower when you arrive over the runway numbers at the approach
end.
Then, as the approach end numbers slide under the nose you say, "255,
numbers."...look over at your dash two all sucked in nice and tight,
give him the 'kiss-off' signal, and freakin' yank that sucker
around!!...all the while chopping throttle and dropping flaps (at the
appropriate speeds of course), and speed breaks, and the barn door, and
anything else you think might get you slowed down to gear speed by the
180 position. :) You started this thing at around 450kts!!!
Honestly, it's not as violent a maneuver as I'm making it sound. But
there is the unwritten rule of all fighter pilots. 'You might look like
hell anywhere else, but you better look good at the break..."
Anyway, if this doesn't paint the picture, I probably can go dig up my
old flight school manuals and give it to you verbatim.

I ran into the same dilemma when building two RV6 aircraft with LYC
IO-360-B1B engines. I designed the exhaust system based on data gathered from numerous
sources and had Vernon Rich in Phoenix (DVT airport) build for me. Each
primary tube is exactly 40" long and flow into a 11" collector aligned with the
aircraft centerline.
The first flight is scheduled for next month and performance details will
become available then.

I can't find anyone in the archives that has a darker canopy the the 2514.
I am looking at a bronze/smoke 2404 with 49% penetration to go with my
spartan gold stripping/black. Anybody out there with anything darker than
59% care to talk? I'm sorry but I don't remember the person's name with
the beautiful red 8 with the really, really dark canopy that posted
something here about his paint job..........the one at Oshkosh this year.
Send me something off list if you do not see this as beneficial to all.
I have to make a decision by the beginning of the week. The shop is only a
couple hours from my house so I am just going to drive and pick my canopy up
instead of having it drop shipped or shipped to Van's and supplied with my
finish kit.

Hey Dana:
We sell the 2404 with the F1 kits as an option --- we have one on the demo
ship. It's much cooler than the 2514, even with a sunshade on the 2514! I think
something darker would not be good for night VFR.
I've seen the -8 you refer to -- very nice work, and striking to look at.
You'll be happy with the 2404, IMHO.
Cheers

Sky Dynamics makes 4 into 1 tuned exhausts for the RV series. They do a lot of
business with the acro crowd.
http://www.skydynamics.com/homepage.html
There aren't any photos of their exhaust on the web page.
You can also contact Custom Aircraft Parts. They make 4 into 1 exhausts for the

There can be temporary glitches in the DNS lookup that will give you that

VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH-RANDALL HENDERSON
Two years after his appointment as the AOPA Airport Support Network
volunteer for Seaside Municipal Airport in Seaside, Oregon, Randall
Henderson is the vice chairman and liaison to state and federal government
agencies for the city airport committee. His efforts at the airport include
convincing the City of Seaside to commit to keeping the airport, applying
for a federal grant, and creating a nine-member airport committee. Henderson
credits the ASN program, its resources, and the credibility of his ASN

Listers,
Our local EAA Chapter held a picnic at Willis Gliderport in Boynton Beach recently.
While speaking to the son in law of our host, I noticed a low time 360 engine
sitting on a pallet in his hanger. I asked him about it. He told me that
it was an AEIO-360-A1E (200 hp) engine with 70 hours TT since new. It was removed
from an aircraft to install a Lycoming AEIO-540 engine. I thought someone
on the list might be interested in it. I'm interested, but don't have that sort
of cash.

Jim,
I am also building an "8" and using Van's wiring kit. I added B&C's
grounding block in addition. I ran a wire from the back side of the firewall
ground to the bulkhead behind the instrument panel and ground everything
there to the block. Might try that. Here is the web site.

I bought the l Lasar system for my O-360 but didn't receive any installation
information. Van's says they don't supply wiring info. Does any one have
the data or do I buy the manual from Unison?
Thanks

In my -8, I have a couple of grounding blocks behind the instrument panel
wired to the main airframe ground fwd of the firewall. Everything else -
strobe transformer, land lights, nav lights,aux fuel pump, etc - is all
grounded through the airframe. No noise filters on the mag p-leads either,
and (fortunately) have essentially no "electrical noise" or other negative
effects evident.

Bill,
The federal mandate requires that low RVP gasoline be sold at retail between June
1 and September 15 each year. Smart retailers are probably there before September
15th as the penalties are pretty severe. I am not sure if that changes
for so-called ozone non-attainment areas or not. Where do you live? Is there
any particular reason why you don't want to use higher vapor pressure gasoline?
Just wondering.

Thought those that are interested in the Dynon might like to know that they are
ahead of schedule with production. I ordered my unit (number 423) at Oshkosh
and was told that delivery would be in 12 weeks. Got the call today that it
has been shipped out and will be here next week. That makes it a 6 week lead
time to date.
Guess I better get moving on my panel!!

Hey fellas this overhead break thing sounds great and like a lot of fun but I just
wanted to mention that untill reading about it here I would have had no idea
what someone calling "initial" etc. etc. was talking about. Admittedly I only
have 125 hours total but I am sure there are a lot more pilots like me flying
at uncontrolled fields that would have no idea what you were doing if you
came roaring over the field and broke. I'm not saying you shouldn't do it I'm
just saying that you have to remember that some of us don't have radios in our
J-3s and you should look out for us because we sure as hell are going to be
confused. This goes double for people on long final which doesn't confuse us
but just pisses us off.
Please don't chastise me for not having looked this up in the AIM because my point
is that I suspect most new pilots don't even know there is anything to look
up, and maybe they can't hear you anyway. Two aphorisms: When your dead being
right isn't much consolation. Just because you know what your doing, don't
assume everyone else does.

Contact Unison. If I remember correctly, they gave me the manual and also a
VCR tape on installation - free. I purchased the LASAR with the engine from
Aero Sport Power.

Where do you live? Is there any particular reason why you don't want to use higher
vapor pressure gasoline?
Yeah, Bruce: vapor lock. I hope to avoid it. I believe I have experienced it
several times on startup at a mountain airport (3800MSL) after a quick stop and
restart (5-10 minutes to heat-soak); either vapor lock or an over-rich condition
which allows a start but the engine sputters and dies, becoming very difficult
to restart. I never want to face this on takeoff if it's vapor lock, so
I try to stack the deck in my favor.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Tom Gummo" <T.gummo@verizon.net>
I would like to add something here.
Even if you don't know anything about the overhead pattern, it should not
effect the way you fly your pattern. The pilot calling INITIAL at a
uncontrolled field has the responsibility to fit his plane or flight into
the other aircraft already in the pattern. At a controlled field, the
controller should be doing this.
Knowledge is power. Now that you know a little about the pattern, you
should know where to look for this traffic. This is in case he / she makes
a mistake and breaks into you. (I would not want to die just because I am
right or have the right of way. Your point!)
The break over the numbers only works if there is no one already on
downwind. With a plane on downwind, I would delay the break (turn to
downwind) until I knew I had proper spacing on the aircraft in front of me.
In other words, I would wait until all the downwind traffic passed me and
then I would break and follow them in.
No radio, well we are all to look around the pattern and avoid aircraft that
don't see us.
Have fun.
Too bad we all can't get together for a little face to face time as a 15
minute briefing would answer just about everybody's questions.
Again, anybody with questions can please contact me off the list and I will
do my best to answer them.

I purchased an O-360 with the Laser system installed from Vans. I received a full
manual with it.
If you can't get it from Unison, let me know. I can make a copy and send it to
you.
