Does anyone have any experience with the hand held SP-200 NAV/COM from Sporty's?
Looks like it may do the same job as the ICOM but with a LOC function.
Thanks

Actually I know a lot about the engine. It came to an engine overhaul shop
in pieces and they rebuilt it with a reconditioned crank to certified specs.
The log book and yellow tags are right here. The prop was overhauled by a
reputable shop as well. My only concern is possible damage to the engine due to
sitting open (in the hangar) for 5 years. It has been covered by a tarp but
the plug holes and accessory holes are open. The rear sump has been dealt with
before according to the archives. Anyone know the cost to swap it with a
front induction? Or, anyone have one to trade?
Thanks.

What a great idea! Works in the Suburban, would be great in the plane.
Here I go giving away a good idea, but what the heck... install those
DVD/LCD displays in the backs of the frontseats! Heck, maybe you could even
somehow tie in the GPS for those neat situational displays like on the newer
airliners!! "Airspeed - 220-mph, time to destination - 1 hr, 10 mins..."
Would keep the kids from having to ask "when are we going to be there?!?!"

Fred,
I just went through this, received several private emails with advice
and settled on Avery. This was initially because of what appears to be
almost reverence for the company. I ordered the RV kit along with some
add-ons last Thursday mid-day and was told that it would ship Friday and
to expect 3 working days which would have it arriving Wednesday of this
week. The shipment was waiting for me when I got home from work last
night. In addition, they apparently subsidize the shipping costs -
shipping via UPS was only $35 and the 2 boxes totaled 87 lbs!
I'm sure that I'll also try Cleaveland at some point but my initial
experience with Avery has made me a believer!

You will find both have excelent tools and comparative pricing.
best thing is to look for a package deal and see what is cheapest for
what YOU want. In the end, you'll come out even and end up buying from
both anyway.

Hi Ron,
Just as a comparasion, the engine I fly behind is an AEIO-360 (180)hp that
has 800TTSNEW, and I paid $9500.00 for it last year. A new Superior/ECI 360
will be somewhere between $15-22K.
in the end, it's worth what someone will pay for it....if it were me, I'd
probably ask somewhere between $10-12K for it. I think it's going to be
hard to get a bunch more, just because of the fact that it has been sitting
"un-pickled" and "open" for a period of time, and depending on the
environment, could have some spotty corrosion in the cylinders (if they are
steel), and possibly on the crank as well.
At the very least, I would recommend whoever buys it to do a cursory
tear-down inspection just to look it over. The engine could be a great
deal, and I wouldn't hesitate to use it, just make sure everything looks
good. Other than that, it's just a bunch of people's opinions!
Cheers,
Stein Bruch

In the new products section of the current Kitplanes, there is a piece about a
combo cd/mp3/dvd player from PS Engineering. With a little fiberglass work I'm
sure you could install an overhead lcd screen for rear passengers or possibly
individual screens in the back of the headrests.

Oh yeah. I've already planned on this mod. Wanted to figure out how the
kids could have their DVD source audio on a separate intercom system that I
could switch to if I needed to yell at them. This way mom and dad in the
front seats could listen to MP3's, CD, etc, while the kids listened to the
audio from the movie they were watching from the screen that folds down from

Both top quality, a pleasure to do business with and both stand behind their
products 100% in my experience. I have never been disappointed with anything
I have purchased from either of them. Unfortunately I can't say that about
some of the other tool suppliers. FWIW I'd consider the new style Cleveland
hand squeezer if I was starting from scratch, but then my Avery aqueezer has
worked perfectly well for me so far. In the long run you'll most likely end up
buying from both of them.

The only site that seems to have any information is a

I used PPG paint and could not beleive how much information they did NOT
give me. I made numerous calls to the tech line before I got the total BIG
picture. Even then I bet I still did not get all the info. I found the
lititure at the paint stores that you can pick up for each part number
leaves out alot of info. For example NO WHERE did it tell me that there was
a 2 week shelf life on the hardner after it was open. I really had to pull
the info out of them. I was always able to reach the tech people though, so
maybe go with PPG exclusively?

I'm in need of hangar space in the Cary, NC area for a few days in the middle of
October. Don't like the idea of leaving my brand new -7 outside. Any recomendations?

| Subject: | Dynon Magnetometer Calibration Question |
--> RV-List message posted by: N223RV@aol.com
I have question about calibrating the Dynon External Magnetometer. I noticed
the magnetometer was pitch sensitive (i.e. changes the heading based on pitch
angle). I have a tail dragger, so it would make sense to calibrate the
magnetometer with the tail up in flight position.
I called Dynon and asked if I should raise the tail to in flight position for
the calibration process and they said it was not necessary. I did not
question them any further, but the more I think about it, I don't understand why.
The magnetometer clearly does not know it is in a tail dragger or a nose
dragger, therefore I would think it would make a difference. Or does it have
something to do with the relation of the head unit to the magnetometer, and as
long
as they are at the same angle, it does not matter. But after calibration if
you lift the tail, the heading does change.
Clearly, I'm confused. Anyone else have any ideas or experience in this
area? I was hoping to calibrate tomorrow. Thanks!

The Canadian firm is www.pwpaints.com located in
Vancouver, B.C.
Sorry, meant Dupont in the header, not Dupon.
Okay guys, I can get there too if I know exactly what
I'm looking for, i.e product number, and where it
lives, but try a search from the PPG home page for
DX1791, heck, just do a search from the automotive
page on "wash primer", or "primer". It doesn't come
up. Do a search from the automotive page for DX1792,
all you get is the 1791 doc. I'm just looking for
some info like; what size containers is it available
in, is the DX1791 mostly phosphoric acid like the
VariPrime catalyst, any salt fog testing data
available, shelf life, etc.? You'd sorta think they
might have a cross to it on the aviation page too, but
no luck.
Oh well, they're in good company, ever try to specify
a connector from scratch on the AMP site? It's
brutal. I will never throw away my "phone book" AMP
catalog!
End rant follow-up :)
Time to let this tread die.

Flip a coin. They both are great. There are a few things that each one
carries that are unique, so you will probably order some from one and some
from the other. People say that Cleveland's dimple dies are better, but I
don't know if that is substantiated. I bought Cleveland tools for the tool
kit, but spent my fair share of money with Avery. Either one is a great
bet.

| Subject: | Sticking Tailwheel Swivel |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Curt Reimer" <cgreimer@mb.sympatico.ca>
I couldn't find any info in the archives on this one, so here goes:
I have about 50 hours total on my RV-6 so far, and I find that my tailwheel
pivot point (full swivel) tends to start sticking every 10-15 hours or so. I
can still kick it free so it isn't a major hazard when it starts to stick,
but it's a sure sign that I need to grease it again. I'm using standard
automotive wheel bearing grease.
To make things more inconvenient, I find the grease fitting totally useless.
What happens is that grease will fill up and begin to leak out under the top
washer, but nothing gets to the bottom bearing surface, where I need it. The
only solution is to disassemble the swivel and manually grease 'er up.
I can live with this, but is this normal procedure for you other tailwheel
drivers? I operate off of grass but the tailwheel area generally stays
pretty clean, although it does get slightly mucky after a rain. Did I leave
out a washer or something? I don't recall having one for this assembly.
Comments appreciated.
Curt
RV-6, 50 hours. Took up my first passenger last night. Oh man, this is fun.
If I'm not flying I'm thinking about the next flight. Help me, I'm addicted
and my gas bills are out of control! I'm exhausted from getting up at 5:00
AM every day to go flying before work!

I believe it is because the magnetometer provides a correction signal
for the system build into the main unit, That's why the main unit AND
the magnetometer have to be installed within a few tenth's of a degree
axis angle in all 3 planes.
if this holds true, then it shouldn't matter if you are propped up or
sitting down on the tailwheel as the relative angle between the main
unit and the magnetometer unit does not change.
Just thinking out loud..........

I really like Avery too, but I did have one small problem I was
disappointed that Avery couldn't help me with. The chuck key on my
Sioux did not fit right. It would slip then the bits would always slip.
When I called they acted like this was really a weird problem and I
ended up finding a chuck in and old tool box and the problem was gone.
I have and will buy from them again.

I think as long as it is in the same attitude as the D10 it doesn't
matter.
