I am in the aircraft refinishing business and was interested in the comments Re:
PPP/Dupont web sites. I have had the occasion to do business with both paint
suppliers and my feelings are the same for both.
These Goliath's, in the paint business, are not interested in the aviation segment
of the refinishing business, there primary focus is to the automotive refinishers
for obvious reasons.
There experience with refinishing aircraft is limited, at best. Request for information
results in a reply from people that have no idea how to deal with the
painting of aluminum. A typical response is "Well I once painted an aluminum
fire truck".
There are mfg.'s who do cater to aircraft painting "Jet-Glo" by Sherwin Williams,"
Randolph Products"," PRC Desoto", a PPG subsidiary, "AlumaGrip".To name a
few. However I find that at least some of these focus on larger aircraft, again
for obvious reasons.

The Dynon has numerous errors when below ~30 kts pitot pressure. The unit
may not fully understand that you are changing pitch when you simply raise
the tail without pitot information.
How much does the heading change between taildown and tail up?

Ok all you "10" builders - I talked to Van's Tuesday around noonish and here's
the latest:
They will be mailing out an information packet later this week or early next.
The first 40 tail
kits will be ready to go around the 22nd of this month. At this point, they're
planning on filling
40 kits per month until the initial order (of a bit over a 100 kits) is taken care
of.

I would expect that the issue isn't about molecular size, as the difference
between the two ain't much. If the issue exists its more a function of
permeability of the membrane, much like your lungs are permeable to both O2
and N2, but more so with O2.
Avagadro's Law states that all gas molucules not involved in a chemical
reaction will demand the same volume of space per molecule at equal
temps/pressures, therefore appropriately contributing their portion of
partial pressure. This should include while they are being crammed through a
leak. It doesn't matter what type of gas molecule it is.

I had to put my kit on hold so I now have a Garmin radio stack that needs a new
home. I thought I would give a fellow builder a chance at goods before I list
them on Ebay.
I have the following:
GNS 430 GPS/Comm 14/28volt, with antenna kit (GA56), List $8,593, Asking $6,500
More Info at: http://www.garmin.com/products/gns430/
GTX 327 Transponder, List $2,095, Asking $1,350
More info at: http://www.garmin.com/products/gtx327/
GMA 340 Audio Panel w/intercom and MB lights, List $1,495, Asking $1,100
More info at: http://www.garmin.com/products/gma340/
GI-106A GS/CDI unit for the 430, List Asking $1,695 Asking $1,200
More info: http://www.garmin.com/products/gi/
If you buy the set, which I would prefer, the package price is $ 9,500.
I'm sure I do not need to tell you have great these radios are, they are all "like
new" in the box with trays and connectors.
I will be glad to answer any questions you my have.

Doug,
I have one if you want to borrow it but for 7 bones its easier to buy one.
Mine is attached to a large piece of .041 safety wire twisted into a nice
bodacious key bob, and it stays located on the same hook as the bathroom
key. (I know locked bathrooms are a strange concept, but in California we
let anybody have the appropriate identification to access anything, so we
have to lock our bathrooms lest a bad guy booby traps our porcelain boomer
box with a Bic lighter rigged to the flush handle.)

Well, the day has arrived. Van's says the fuse is ready to ship. I meant to
put together a list of items to order with the fuse like the ELT but it
slipped my mind until now.
Anyone have a list of items that I might as well get in this shipment?
BTW, what are most folks using for ELTs? There was a brand I wrote down but
now can't find the info. Seems there was one relatively low cost brand most
folks were happy to use but I can't remember it. It might be the one Van's
sells.

Electronic Gurus,
I'm redoing my panel this winter and installing dual coms amongst other
things. I already have a good intercom and don't need marker beacon
display. Does anybody know of a small, com only audio panel type set up.
Also is there any good way of using a single antenna with the two coms.
On my Q2 (way back in 1980) I used a multi-pole switch. Surely something
else is available today.
Appreciate any help.

The altimeter in my Eagle is stuck on 3,000 feet and it has already been
repaired several times, so my intent is to replace it with a new one. It
appears that new ones are $500 for US made and $200 for imported. I
don't fly anything close to IFR, so the cheap part of me says to buy the
cheap one, however the Eagle really vibrates a lot, so the other part of
me says to spend the money for a good one. Anyone have good or bad
experience with the imported altimeters??

I wanted to wait until I was sure of where I was at in my fuselage
construction. I believe I can say as of today I am at the QB RV-7 fuselage
point in construction. It has been exactly 2 months and 4 days since I got
my fuselage crate. In that time I took a week off for Oshkosh, and a week
off for football camp (with coaching cloths on not a football uniform).
Looking back at the construction process of the wings and fuselage, if I
were to order a QB on either wings or fuselage I would get the QB on the
wings. The fuselage has been a treat to build, it has truly been fun up to
this point..............I haven't started the canopy yet.
With that said, I do envy you QB guys, especially you QB wing guys who only
put on one bottom skin, but you did miss out on working with quality of the
pre punched pieces and how precise they went together. The verdict is in on
my three sawhorse built fuselage. With the aft deck riveted on, my fuselage
is 1/10 of a degree off. I know, I know........it's going to want to
corkscrew through the sky. So be it, that's what I get for not using
jigs:-)
Just food for thought for you guys who are ordering emps. or contemplating
QBs. I figure I saved enough in 2 months and 4 days to pay for my Dynon,
EIS 4000 engine monitering system and stereo intercom.........with Big Mac
money left over.
Don't take this wrong, I am in no way slamming anyone for going the QB
route.
Within a month of taking this thing to the paint shop and painting the
interior gold!!
Putting LCDs in the back of the seat.......................OH, my bad you're
talking talking about the 10:-) Heck, with all the glass stuff out now, us

Hey Stewart,
As usual, the details are on Doug Reeve's vansaircraft.net site. Sign up
there on the guestbook, as they are using it as a planning tool for food,
potties and such. I plan to depart from AEG (Double Eagle in Albuquerque)
Friday morning, and will return Sunday. It's a great event. You don't want

Hi,
Just a note from Bernie regarding my status. I had an MI in 1979 that totally occluded
the left anterior descending artery (called the widow maker). I had run
marathons before and ran them faster after the event to the astonishment of
the medical profession. Apparently my fitness saved me with collateral flow paths
for the heart muscle. I have had to do a stress treadmill yearly to keep my
3rd class medical.
Two weeks ago I experienced another shutdown( 90% blocked artery). A stent was
done and I feel fine, but the FAA automatically closes your 3rd class for 6 months
and then they are running 12-14 weeks for special issuances. I am walking
a mile a day and my cardiologists says he sees no reason that I should not fly
my RV6A. Too bad the FAA doesn't see it the same way.
I have decided to sell the 6A and continue working on the 9A with the rotary power.
The airplane has been great and the TT on engine and airframe are 390 hours.
It has a Sam James cowl and plenum, SL30 nav/com with GS, DG and AI. There
are many other goodies which I will list on Doug's VAFWW site. Asking price is
69K.

Wheeler,
Thanks for the offer of your adjustment tool. I was
about to order one from ACS, but I decided to take one
more look that night. So I tore through my whole shop
looking in all the empty boxes from instruments, etc.
and couldn't find it. I then looked through the junk
on top of my bench (for the 10th time or so) and,
lo-and-behold, there it was! The only logical explanation
is those dreaded TOOL GREMLIMS, you know, the ones who
put the tool you're looking for right back where it
belongs but wasn't there the last time you looked!
Anyway, I found it and plan to attach a locating
device to it for future reference!
Thanks,
Doug Medema

As I recall Avagadro's Number, the "same volume" is per mole of an (ideal) gas
- not molecule. One mole of any gas occupies 22.4 liters at STP. That being said,
I agree completely that the size difference between N2 and O2 is insignificant.

Avagadro's Law states that all gas molucules not involved in a chemical
reaction will demand the same volume of space per molecule at equal
temps/pressures, therefore appropriately contributing their portion of
partial pressure. This should include while they are being crammed through a
leak. It doesn't matter what type of gas molecule it is.

True enough, but since a mole is a fixed number of molecules
(6.022e23, IIRC), the same holds for molecules.

OK gang, just wondering out loud here. I too enjoy the view but my wife
sometimes on a long trip would just as soon read a book or sleep. I truly
do have a lot of room on the right side of my panel, I mean a lot of room.
I've just been looking at MP3s to wire into the intercom but now this LCD
thing has had me thinking all day (I know, if I do too much of that I'll
blow a fuse). My oldest son plays college football and takes those nice
long bus trips on Fridays. He was on me before the season started to buy
him a portable fliptop DVD player with battery. The only ones I have seen
have a flip top to open the screen and you "drop" the DVD under the hood
like a portable CD player. They run about $6-$700. Just thinking here,
does anyone know of a small screen, say 6x6 that would have an assembly like
the CD player in your car where it "grabs" the CD and pulls it in?
Not like I would put it in my airplane or anything like that:-) but I was
just thinking of the first minute or two of Top Gun on the screen with the
sound track blaring in the headphones as you blast
off..........................
I'd of course have the iso switch activated listening the sweet sound of
that 360:-)
Is there such an affordable animal out there??
BTW Alan, my King instrument course was on the VCR and I'm NOT putting one
of those in my airplane!!

Well ....
My (planned) panel has a LOT of room on the right side as well. What I am
planning to do is fashion some kind of fold out table from the right side
wall so my "passenger" can set up her laptop and plug in to power, audio and
antennae connections. That way, she can track our journey, select the audio
program to listen to and even watch some DVD's while in flight. Gotta love

I had this problem and was to do with those 3 little pieces inside the
swivel bit. You need to oil that area not grease. Mine actually broke that
part and got new bits and oiled only in that area . the rest had grease but
have to disassemble to do it as that nipple was useless.
I regrease and oil the bits every 50 hours. I fly from grass and sealed
strip .
Hope this helps!!

there are plenty of in-dash DVD players out there, none of which are
very affordable. Here's a few:

VERY impressive! Great website too!
I have head that with the turbo installed, it is possible to
eliminate the muffler. Have you run the engine up with, and without, the
muffler?
