Bill, there is a ton of info in the archives on just this subject. With
that said, you will find a very good post in there that documents the small
amount of error that will be present in your TC mounted on a tilted panel.

Is it recommended to do anything to the inside of the windscreen to block
the view of the backside of the bond area at the base of the windscreen? I'm
wondering if I should paint that area on the inside of the windscreen. (I
couldn't find an answer in the archives.)

Chris,
There are tints available from automotive paint and boat supplies that
can be added to epoxy to color it. I've used a black tint I got from a
boat supply store for the first layers of fiberglass on my windscreen
front fairing and over the top to avoid the regular fiberglass color.
Hope this helps.
Regards,

It appears that these FAA regs alone are not enough. My FAA representative
and our FAA DAR (who is a homebuilder, too!) has told me that it is not
sufficient to follow all the rules; instead, an FAA rep or DAR needs to
positively approve it. If the instrument avionics are not TSO'ed or
equivalent, then they will not sign off on it. Period. Without the FAA
positive approval, even if you do not violate any FAA regs, you cannot fly
IFR.
I think the FAA inspectors/DAR do not want to risk their jobs, and there is
no specific instruction to them that non TSO'ed instruments are ok in
experimentals, so they just refuse. If you can find one FAA inspector/DAR
who is willing to sign off e.g., a bluemountainavionics EFIS for IFR use,
then please let me know.
Sincerely,

Subject: | Resolver vs Converter education |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Ralph E. Capen" <recapen@earthlink.net>
Fellow listers,
My UPSAT SL30 outputs both converter and resolver signals for an external CDI.
That and my GX60 are switched through the ACU for input to the whatever brand
CDI.
I have a NSD-1000 HSI that I am installing in the panel of my RV6A which takes
both of these signal types - this is intended to be the primary CDI. The Narco
NAV122D/GPS that I have will also take these signals as inputs.
The instructions for my SL30 indicate that the resolver signals need to be calibrated
and should not be switched. These instructions also state that supplemental
CDI's should use converter signals only.
I'm trying to understand the functionality provided by these different type of
signals....
Are they complementary - or similar in functionality? Can one set of signals be
used without the other?
Thanks,
Ralph Capen

Subject: | washers, forward elevator pushrod end |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Dan Checkoway" <dan@rvproject.com>
I'm having one heck of a hard time getting the front rod end of the fwd
elevator pushrod attached to the control column. On the RV-7, the plans
call for one AN960-10 washer on each side of the bearing, sandwiched between
the bearing and the control column. The issue is that I can't really access
that area easily now that everything's assembled. I can get one washer in
no problem, then put the rod end in -- it's the 2nd washer that's a real
bear to install.
I've tried the tape-tab, superglue the washer to a screwdriver tip, hold
each washer with one bolt from each side, etc. tricks and it's just so
confined in there I can't seem to nail it. It's tough because the body of
the rod end blocks access from behind, and I can't really get in front of it
with my hands or a tool.
Any advice on this? I'll keep on keepin' on, but if there are other tricks
I'd love to hear about 'em!
Thanks,

Dan,
I've found that using a 2-3" length of hinge pin instead of the bolt is much easier
to get all the necessary washers in place. Then push the pin out with the
bolt, wiggling the pin about as necessary to get it through everything.

Hi Jerry::
In the original manual for my 6 (1990) it was optional regarding the
installation of the pop rivets (CS4-4) through the canopy base molding. For
the 6A it calls up the installation of these rivets at 4 inch spacing, was
wondering if you have those rivets installed. Although it may have happened
I have not heard of one separating with the rivets installed.
If you care to contact me I have some ideas on a repair.

Lot's has been written and is in the archives about this subject. Ask your
FAA or DAR person to show you the reg that requires TSO instruments for part
pi oiperations. Then you can post it here for the rest of us. This issue is
also discussed on the Bluse Mountain site.
They are not even required to sign off the installation. Typically your
operating limitations read something like ".. approved for VFR only unless
equipped for IFR.." It's up to you to make the determination.

I have to say the notion that any non TSO'd instrumentation precludes one
from legally flying IFR is nonsense. I am not saying you are wrong, I am
only saying the information you have been provided is extremely suspect.
The regs state what is required equipment onboard. The regs furthur state
that one must have equipment on board appropriate for the ground facilities
to be used for IFR operations. In the case of IFR, a certified IFR GPS and
certified nav head are the appropriate units for the ground facilities.
I have certainly not be able to find any documentation which dictates non
ground facility equipment
be TSO'd equipment. It sound like you have talked with someone shooting off
the hip.
Another point that certainly makes me think the guy may be shooting a little
lower than the hip, and about ninety degress over, is your examiner will not
sign your experimental off as IFR to start with anyway. If you installed
the current and certified equipment appropriate for the ground facilities to
be used, you have to take the airplane up and verifiy the equipment's
working condition then you sign the log book to indicate such.

Wayne,
I hooked a line break thermostat on to the end of an extension cord. I
drop the whole thermostat end of the cord into the oil door, and plug
the engine heater (mine has a sump heater and cylinder heater bands)
into this cord. I set it at about 50F, and insulate the cowl well. I
also wedge a piece of foam rubber into the cooling air exit area. I
leave this on all the time during the winter, and I suspect the duty
cycle is not too high. I am quite happy with this arrangement, as the
year before I had it hooked to a telephone apparatus, and I always had
to plan to call the hangar the night before I planned to fly. I'd be
surprised if it used $10/month electricity.

Amateur-Built aircraft to be TSO'd. There are some that say they must meet
the requirements for a TSO but that is different. I have gone round and
round on this issue with several people and they have ALL so far had to
agree with this. There is nothing in 91.205 about TSO'd instruments.
NOW, let's quickly talk the other side. Your friendly neighborhood FAA
Inspector or DAR does have to sign off your aircraft in your logbook. He is
saying that it meets the requirements for the certificate sought. He is
taking on a pretty big responsibility and may not be familiar with some
instruments/systems that are not TSO'd (like the Dynon EFIS D-10).
Therefore he may not be confortable with signing that off for IFR. If that
does happen and you don't like the respose you are getting from him/her,
then bump it up to their superviser. You can do that all the way up to the
Administrator if you so desire.
If you have any questions feel free to drop me a line directly and we can
talk.

Have you tried a piece od .020 safety wire or fishing line yet? If you
haven't thread the line thru the control yoke, then the washer, the rod end,
the other washer, then the other side of the control yoke. Once all
threaded pull on both ends of the line and most times everything will pop
into place enough to put a tapered pin punch on one end to further line up
the mass. Once the line is out and the puch is in you can tehn slide a bolt
in, pushing the pin punch out. This has worked for me several times when
nothing else would.

Where does it say that an FAA or DAR signature is needed? Don't the
standard Operating Limitations simply say something to the effect of
"Aircraft restricted to day VFR unless equipped in accordance with FAR
91.XXX", where 91.XXX lists the equipment requirements for night or
IFR. So it is up to the pilot to decide whether the aircraft equipment
meets the requirements of FAR 91. Why make it more complicated than
that? By all means exercise good judgement and common sense when you
decide whether the aircraft is suitably equipped or not, but don't try to
fight needless bureaucratic battles.

Ralph,
If you have the choice, use the resolver output rather than the converter. If
you have to use the converter output on the SL30, you lose the ability to monitor
the radial on the standby VOR frequency.
Unfortunately, I chose a KI-209 CDI head before realizing this :-(

Dan,
A trick I used was to cut a strip of scrap .025" aluminum, say, 5/8" wide,
length to suit and slot the end of it slightly narrower than the diameter of
the washer and file it so that you can snap it into the slot and it stays in
place (you can persuade it with a drop super glue if you wish) and then feed
the washer into the gap between the parts and feed the bolt through it. Then
it's easy to pull the "tool" out.You can bend and shape this "tool" to suit
your access needs.
You will find some other places that a similar "tool" can be useful, one is
installing the aileron hinge and push-rod bolts which are hard to get to
because the outboard end of the flap is in the way, but for that "tool", I
cut the slot on the side of the end of the strip to get the required access.
A similar "tool" can be made to hold nuts.
Cheers!!-----Henry Hore

I don't believe this is the problem with using a non 8 degree tilt gyro
in our panels; if it were, one need only reset the little airplane. The
problem with a non tilt gyro is the various errors which will occur
during turns and acceleration/deceleration. Gyros, like everything
else, have compromises. One is that there are inherent errors that
occur, for example, during turns. If you watch closely, and execute a
180 turn, you will notice a slight error on a AH gyro after stopping the
turn. This error is likely quite small, but will be bigger if you are
in an 8 degree climb (or have a non tilt gyro - same thing). I don't
know how much the relative errors are in the two cases.

Really depends on what your preference / budget is. My first set is a
Headsets Inc. conversion for my DC 10-30's. Inexpensive ($250 ish),
easy to install, works as advertised, overall I'm very happy with the
kit. Takes 1 9v battery which lasts (if you remember to turn it off,
the new kits have a auto off feature) about 15-20 hours. My only
complaint with them was that my head would start to feel squeezed after
about 2 hours. This was in no way related to the conversion, but rather
a typical DC feature.
At Sun-N-Fun this spring I bought a pair of Lightspeed G3 Thirty's. WAY
comfortable! I can wear these all day with no problem. Battery life is
about double with two AA's. The G3's have Cell phone and Music input,
which I thought would be a neat toy at the time, but find invaluable
now. The ability to plug my MP3 player directly into the headset has
been great on those long cross countries, as the Cherokee I fly now does
not have a music input on the intercom. Cell Phone input... I really
didn't' think I would use this. I was wrong. Getting a Clearance from
FSS from the run up area is now a non-issue. No more straining to hear
them over the cockpit noise, and no more running from the FBO jumping in
the airplane trying to make a Void time.
I'm VERY happy with my Lightspeed's and hard pressed to buy anything
else.

Hmmmm...I too can comment! I have both a Lightspeed 25XL and a H10-13.4
with the "conversion". My presonal preference is the DC's. Couple of
reasons:
#1) After 3 years, the Lightspeeds are starting to show their "fit/finish"
issues. My DC's are 5 years old and look/feel/act like new. I can drop
them, sit on them, etc.. and not worry the least about destroying something.
No matter how you cut it, plastic just does not hold up as well.
#2) As a "4 eyes" glasses wearer, I prefer the gel seals on the DC's over
the 25XL's.
#3) The mic boom annoys me to death on the LS's. Way flimsy!
#4) MOST IMPORTANT. The light clamping power of the LS's results the the
headsets departing my head during "unusual attitudes". They simply will NOT
stay put during all the wifferdills that I do!! Probably a design flaw with
my head!
#5) Last, but not least....I'm 6'1", and in the winter before my seats
conform to my behind, the headband of the LS's hits the canopy. My DC's are
lower profile and don't hit the canopy.
Since the LS's are on their last leg and I'm in need of a headset, I'll
probably either buy another 13.4 and convert it or buy a 13X ENC.
Just my 2 cents. Remember, everyon'es head size, shape, body height, etc..
are different, so we all have different opinion. Regarding sound quality,
my DC's do just as well as the LS's IMHO.
Good luck, and if you have an extra $1000.00, I guess you can alwas spring
for the Bose X's!
Cheers,
Stein Bruch
