Scott,
I don't understand what you mean by, "a nice constant speed". If you mean a propeller,
why do you think it will eliminate the need for spoilers?

Why not put the money of spoilers into a nice constant speed. Then you wont
need spoilers.

Probably bad choice of words, should have said something like, just use a
constant speed prop because they act like a speed brake. If you have flown
an RV you know the very steep approach angle on final with the CS and no
power applied.
RV's are slippery aircraft and can be a little challenging for the new
pilot to slow down if they are not using a constant speed prop. With a CS
they descend very rapidly when the throttle is pulled back and prop at fine
pitch.
Maybe I completely misunderstand your requirements for the spoilers but
with a 650 ft landing distance at gross you can make it into some pretty
short fields, with CS of course.
Can you tell us where/how you plane to use the spoilers?

--> RV-List message posted by: "Dan Checkoway" <dan@rvproject.com>
Configuration: Van's IO-360 baffle kit, RV-7, drawing OP-4.
Does part 20 (right front inlet floor stiffener) go on TOP or BELOW part 10
(right front inlet floor). I believe the plans imply the stiffener on top,
but that seems like unnecessarily disturbing the flow a little bit -- the
little lip formed by the height of the stiffener.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance,

The plans are about 2 ft x 3 feet. I put a cork bullitin board on the shop
wall. As the small pieces come together to become BIG pieces, floor space

Fred,
Well if you didn't order "The Quick Build" kit... then the "full size"
plans are exactly the same size as the parts. See, what you do is cut out
the drawings, glue them together, then (after first mining the ore) you
smelt down the aluminum and pour it "carefully" over the paper airplane
you've just built, then allow it to cool before attaching the engine,
avionics, interior upholstery, and paint..... : }

| Subject: | Aft top skin F6112 |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Jeff Orear" <jorear@new.rr.com>
List:
I am currently scratching my head about where to trim the aft top skin, F6112,
for my slider-equipped 6A. There are no drawings depicting the dimensions of
the arc that is cut out of the forward edge of this skin. All that is said in
the instructions is to cut it to match the slider frame.
Is this a critical cut? I assume that you don't want to cut too much off so that
the rear canopy skirt will overlap this skin adequately.
Can anyone give me a ball park idea here? How far away from the center of F606
is the forward edge of your F6112 skin at the top center of the fuselage? Also,
how far from F624 is the edge of this skin at the longerons?
Thanks in advance folks.....

I built an easel on wheels, which I found most excellent as I would
simply roll it over to wherever I was working. It would have been a pain in
the patootie to have to walk over to the wall everytime I needed to refer to
something. However I'm lucky enough to have had a large shop to work in. In
a smaller shop where space is an issue, you would also be much closer to the
walls. Another issue is that you often need to refer to several sheets
within a short span of time. You would need to have a lot of sheets on the
wall or continually be reposting them. With the easel, you just pull the
current one to the top of the pile.

| Subject: | Adding lead to elevator counterweights after painting?? |
--> RV-List message posted by: czechsix@juno.com
Guys,
After painting my elevators, they are both trailing edge heavy. I did not trim
the L elevator counterweights at all (due to weight of trim tab and servo on
that side), and on the right side I trimmed the lead such that it was still overbalanced
when unpainted, anticipating that the paint would make it balance "about
right". I seriously underestimated the amount of weight the paint would
add (the dark blue Sherwim williams Genesis I'm spraying takes 3 coats to get
complete coverage).
So...I imagine I'm not the first to have this problem, what have others done to
add weight to the elevators after painting? The best idea I've come up with
so far is to pop rivet in a small aluminum baffle aft of the existing counterweight
lead and then pour in an epoxy/lead shot slurry. Let dry, mask off rest
of elevator and touch up the area with paint to make it look decent...
What say ye RVators?

From the KFZY field report, 6 RV's have already flown in to the Forum. With the
field based RV aircraft and diehard RV plane locals we will have at least 15
on the field Saturday. Mike Seager in the Van's factory Aircraft has made it
also and the lessons have begun.
KFZY Oswego County, Fulton NY Saturday looks to be intermittent scattered rain
forecast, but VFR otherwise, it is a bummer to the south though.... Get there
early, spend the night as Sunday after the great pancake breakfast, it looks VFR
favorable. You'll have a great time!
Hope to see you there the event goes on rain or shine, classes will be held. Thanks
to the many RV wanna be's who are driving too...and yes they do make up the
majority of our guests!
It is not to late, preregistration not required. Get in that car now, what are

Hi Bill;
Yes I did run without the muffler, however I had no exhaust pipe at
all, just the outlet directly from the turbo. (exhaust materials were held
up at customs at this point). It sounded much like an outboard motor out of
water. Certainly quieter than a Lyc and it is quiet enough to eliminate the
muffler, however I really want a quiet airplane, as like most pilots, I'm
hoping one day to have my own airstrip at home. Even though I live in a
rural setting, there is always some jack*** that will complain about noise.
In Europe noise regulations have resulted in strict regulations that
ban overflight of some cities (any Europeans on the list feel free to
correct me). I just feel that if us North Americans are more proactive in
managing our own noise emissions, we won't be forced to comply with
unreasonable laws.
Just one man's opinion....

RE: RV-List: First flight of C-FSTB - Noise
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?

Hi Bill;
Yes I did run without the muffler, however I had no exhaust pipe at all, just
the outlet directly from the turbo. (exhaust materials were held up at customs
at this point). It sounded much like an outboard motor out of water. Certainly
quieter than a Lyc and it is quiet enough to eliminate the muffler, however
I really want a quiet airplane, as like most pilots, I'm hoping one day to have
my own airstrip at home. Even though I live in a rural setting, there is always
some jack*** that will complain about noise.

This is really not a very critical cut at all. What I did was make sure I
had several inches forward of the trailing edge of the canopy skirt, then
eyeball the curve as is shown on the plans, just wag it. What you will
encounter is that as you fit the canopy, you will have to trim off much of
the lower part of the skin, especially near the longerons, to keep from
interfereing with the canopy frame, etc. In the end I realized I had wasted
way too much time pondering this.

that is said in the instructions is to cut it to match the slider frame.

Why not buy a notebook computer? There are some inexpensive ones out
there for around $1100 that have wide screen displays and built in dvd
readers. I know that it would be difficult to fit one into the panel of
an aircraft, but I'm sure someone on this list could figure out how to
do it.

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

Just left the airport....
Meeting night was held, Mike Seager after his flight lessons gave the group a little
talk about Van's State of the Business and the unfortunate Red RV6 Oshkosh
incident.
There is a flying RV6 sans cowls set up in hanger to give a seminar and to discuss
his automotive style built fuel injection system. As well the trailer delivered
RV8 sans tail/wings but sporting the Subaru Engine FWF package for another
seminar....SO WHOLE and apart RV's we got em.
7 RV's yes 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 but no 4's yet ....all tied down, 1 or 2 spams there too
already,not including the field based planes. There are 6 or so other RV's
there (kind you tow behind the truck and there is more than 10 tenst set up for
the overnight campers who don't want to miss the morning roll call.... man
these RV builders are a dedicated bunch.
Shaping up for a great forum.

There is a better way. Buy a portable dvd player which
is cheaper, then buy the display on ebay. A much
cheaper solution. Go to ebay and google and do a
search.
