Larry, Aviation Fasteners carries a Cherry Max CR3214-4-2 which is an opps
type rivet (1/8" shaft-3/32" head). Supper strong......looks like a driven
rivet when completed.

Al was working on an add-on module for the round-dial LRI to add
aural stall warning. I saw a demo at OSH, and it seems to be
promising.
Anyone installing a LRI (or other "AOA" system needs to decide what
they want the unit to do. If you want stall warning, you need one
with some sort of audible signal. If you want it to help you go into
and out of short fields, or to be there in case you need to do a
forced landing in a small spot, you had better get used to using it
on every flight. Otherwise you won't have developed the skills and
habit patterns required to use the AOA system on the day you really
need it.

I Assume from your question you are looking for armrest pictures. I have
some here. Center console, simple construction, flip up top. I have several
friends who put one of these in after flying mine. (right smoozer?) Very
comfortable and useful.

go to finishing, then interior.
If you were looking for that particular plane, sorry I can not help you

I saw a plane at a fly-in Jackson, CA about five years ago that had a real

flew. Anybody know which plane that might be? It was an RV-6 or 6A with a

The one I'm looking for wasn't a center console, it was just a flip-up arm rest.
So when you didn't want to use it, there was nothing between the seats. It
just flipped down against the electric flap console.
Then again, perhaps a rugged center console that you could step on would make it
easier to get in without stepping on the seat cushions...

Wow, I just gotta wonder what this world is coming to when an air cooled
tractor engine (ala Lycosaurus) costs more than a brand new home did in the
mid seventies. How times have changed! I'm sure the engine is valued
appropriately for the market so please don't take this as a slam, but it
just boggles my mind how far the aviation market has gone off the deep end
in value for the hard earned dollar. To those who can readily afford an
engine of this caliber, I applaud thee. Meanwhile, for me, my RV10 might be
powered with a series of Briggs and Stratton lawnmower engines all linked
together with a PSRU.
Now, how to rig that pull starter cord into the cabin....

Bill,
I'm glad I didn't offend you. I wished I had lightened up on the
tone of the message after I sent it, but it was too late.
Tone in e-mails is a real problem. It is so easy to take stuff the
wrong way. But if we all paid excruciating attention to the tone we
would never get the blasted things written. So every once in a while
we'll drop a real clanger.
Take care and fly safe,

Listers--Those of you flying IFR, have you had any problems with P-static?
Have you any experience or opinions on installing static wicks? Our avionics
shop is recommending a bunch of them--they're pricy little devils (what
isn't?). I checked the archives, no real experience, just speculation. Thanks
in
advance. --LeRoy Johnston/David White in Ohio (RV-6, fuel lines, wing attach

That is a good question.... most airplanes that go RV speed have static
wicks...
I have flown airplanes with static wicks all over them that still looked
like a fireball in a snow storm, and I have flown them that have no trouble
at all. go figure. If you are not in a hurry, when winter comes I will tell
you what happens with my -4. The previous owner flew it IFR and he made no
mention of it.
St Elmo's fire at night is so cool, but not being able to talk to center or
navigate is kind of a bummer. One 210 I used to fly was the worst of all,
The prop would glow with a ring of fire. You could shoot sparks 6 inches off
your fingers to the Windshield, and it would make your hair stand on end.
Holding on to the compass with one hand was the only way you could talk on
the radio.
It had static wicks all over it but nothing helped.
Tailwinds,
Doug Rozendaal

We have to have a car...with a toddler seat! The airport is rather isolated
from the city. If you want true flexibility for your itinerary, rent a car.
(I booked a Hertz, Ford Taurus for about $30.) Or, just hitch a ride with
someone who has an extra seat. There should be plenty...even mine! If you
stay at the Hampton Inn, there should be a small squadron of RV'ers with
rental cars coming and going throughout the event.

Phooey...silly English language...too much left to the imagination
sometimes. Now, if we're talking about $15k per engine...we might have a
very good deal here. Still....FIFTEEN *choke* THOUSAND *gasp* DOLLARS for a
bank of jugs, a case and a sump?! Oh, and a thingy to squirt fuel into the
beast at a somewhat controlled rate. Such a deal! What we need is a good,
$5k turbine. Gimme gimme!!

Mark,
When shooting metallic paint you have to keep the paint agitated. If you
don't have a professional gun with an agitator in it then just give the
gun a shake at the end of every couple of strokes. Most of the metallic
paints that I've used don't like to stay mixed very well and you have to
keep it stirred somehow.
I had to repaint a car once because of this and believe me, it DOES make
a difference.

silver (SherWill Genesis) that I'm applying to the leading edges of

leading edges. Per the recommendation of a local paint guy, I sprayed two coats--the
first coat was across (perpendicular to) the leading edge, wait 10 mins
for it to tack up, and the second coat was along the leading edge (i.e. a
90 degree cross coat to the first coat). This was on the empennage with the parts
hanging in the booth LE down. Great results.

helps "align" the flakes better due to the tug of gravity than on a horizontal
surface where they seem to just lay as the fell? Anybody with metallic
painting experience that can offer some insight or suggestions? I still need
to do my wing LE's and want them to look good...

The one I'm looking for wasn't a center console, it was just a flip-up arm
rest. So when you didn't want to use it, there was nothing between the seats.
It just flipped down against the electric flap console.
Then again, perhaps a rugged center console that you could step on would make
it easier to get in without stepping on the seat cushions...
That's what I have, and believe me, a center case is more useful in a plane
than it is in a car.
