Folks
I have a 6A that I purchased from its builder. Both fuel tanks have seeps
around 6 to 8 rivets, really slow seeps but the paint is bubbling up where
the seeps occur. Any suggestions to cure?

Jerry,
Their target ship date has been October 15th for some time now. I spoke with
Greg yesterday and they seem to be very close to making that date or at
least in October. It has been test flown in their "demo plane" (see article
on their website) and I saw it installed in the Trutrak "demo" plane (at OSH
... was probably pre-production prototype).
Thus, I would not expect there to be any "pireps" at this time.
Maybe there IS someone out there that HAS flown it, but for now I think it
too soon to expect same.
I could be wrong.
James

Matthew,
Check the archives on this problem (a lot of GOOD stuff; scroll to the
page bottom and click on archives). Basically scrape away the paint, apply
a drop of special adhesive (I forget the name), let it soak in, then apply a
drop of harder and your done. I used a two part adhesive on one rivet that
went south a few years ago and haven't had any problem with it since.

I don't know much, but I can tell you that you must be sure you have the
correct oil pressure sender to get the correct reading.
The oil temp reads 59 because I believe that's as low as the EIS goes.
So I assume your oil temp is below 59 or you're not getting a signal.
I just started flying my 8A and I have the EIS 4000. I have two mags, but I
wanted (and need of course) a tach reading from each side when you
do the mag check.
John Crabtree (a fine aircraft builder) came up with a circuit to switch
the RPM reading from one side to another when you switch one side off
on the mag check. John ran the diagram past Greg Tolman and he
thought it was good. (It is). If I remember correctly, Greg had already
conceived the circuit idea that John came up with, so Greg should be
familiar with it. If he can't help you I can help you through John.
I'm electrically challenged myself. Sometimes I'm not sure the circuits in
my head are firing correctly.

NASA!?....I'll fix them for you if you get me a ride in the shuttle :) I
have to say that sounds like a lot of leaking rivets. I have never had to do
more that 2 or 3 rivets so you are in for a challenge.Your builder probably
didnt use enough sealant on the ribs....or maybe put it together dry then
tried to seal over the outside of the ribs. You may be chasing this for a
long time....I would not repaint until you know that you have caught them
all. That said, you can reseal leaking rivets by sucking sealant into the
voids around the rivets. I use a mighty vac hand vacuum pump that I got at a
local car parts shop. Plug up all of the hardware going into the tank, put
several layers of package tape over the fuel cap and then pump out the air
to around 10 pounds of negative pressure. The skins will be bowing in around
the ribs. Now you drip sealant onto each rivet that is leaking and let it
suck into the void....before it starts sucking air again let the pressure
off and wait for it to harden up. The sealant you use is the regular stuff
from Vans.....just mix up a small amout per the instructions and then thin
it down with an equal amount of MEK. DO NOT under any circumstances let
anybody talk you into sloshing your tanks. I hope this helps. If I have not
given you enough information or if you decide to just build new tanks you
can call me @ (530)247-0375. Feel free to call or email, I am happy to help
if I can.
Evan

In addition to the 7.6 inches listed add the pitot/static/AOA nipples and

--> RV-List message posted by: "Ken Simmons" <ken@truckstop.com>
A follow up on the DA-55 digital G-meter. Aircraft Spruce is the only company I
can find listing the item. I finally got out of them that these are backorderd
because the company has to redesign the instrument because some of the parts
are no longer available. That was the latest information they had. The company
doesn't seem to return their phone calls. I have also emailed and phoned them
with no reply.
Anybody know of other digital G meters?
Also, any takers on opinions of the "unconventional" turn coordinator displays
on the Navaid,Dynon,EZ Pilot?
Thanks.

My RV-4 tail wheel has two zirk fittings; one on the bronze/babbot pivot
for the steering fork while the other zirk is on the Aviation Products
tail wheel(Vans tail wheel proper). The Bearings are sealed bearings on
the little aluimum hub so pumping grease onto the hollow hub does little
good. I spin the wheel in the quiet of my hanger and listen for bearing
raceway noises (scoring, loosness, sand, grit, freeplay) I have replaced
a set of bearings once on my Cessna 150 tail dragger, which I used a
Aviation products tailwheel after 500 hours because I detected some race
scoring when I spun the wheel......never greased that bearing in over 8
years.

Texas Couple Dies In RV-8 Incident
Wed, 08 Oct '03
Pleasure Cruise Ends In Tragedy
FAA investigators are going over what's left of an RV-8 after it went down
about 20 miles northwest of Tyler (TX) Monday. The two people on board were
ejected upon impact. Their remains were scattered on the ground 100 yards
or more from the crash site.
KLTV News quotes Noel Sexton, who saw the plane overhead, 2 1/2 miles south
of the crash site, as saying, "It was backfiring and missing and he revved
the motor up real high, and it went back to idling."
Stan May lives right across from the field where the plane crashed. He says
he thought the plane was about to hit his home. "He gained altitude a
little bit, and then he took a nosedive out into that pasture right there.
Just a sudden impact, a loud boom. There was straps from the seatbelts
where he appeared to have been buckled up. And then it threw him across the
road."
Ernest and Marketta Woodard from Georgetown (TX) died instantly in the crash.
"There wasn't a lot left of it. But, again, the investigation is ongoing,"
said FAA Aviation Safety Inspector, Michael Hamilton. "We can't determine a
cause this early in the investigation. It's going to take a while to filter
out all of the causes."

I was told by a lawyer that if its obviously a "corporation" for the

It's more than just bogus companies. Nine out of ten major American
corporations are incorporated in Delaware. I don't know that the legal
subtlties of this are, but I assume they are very real.

I always thought it was because taxes were less that way but I don't really
know for sure.

Hi guys,
Just got my cylinders back from Lycon and decided to paint the case...which required
my removing all the accessories from the back of the engine.
Can anyone guide me to where I can get a metal cover for the vacuum pump (won't

for my O-320? I also need to find a 90 degree oil filter adapter like Mattituck

Hi Jerry,
I'm upgrading to the Grand Rapids EFIS-EIS in my flying RV-6. The start ship date
for the EFIS should be the 15th of this month, the EIS is in stock. I've
got the EIS in the panel and just starting to do the wiring. If you're looking
for a dealer check with Greg Panzl at Wingtip to Wingtip, he's got the best prices
I've found.
With the way the system integrates the EFIS, Garmin 430 and the Digiflight IIVSG
it should be quite the setup! Now I'll just have to learn how to use it all.
:-)

Incorporating or creating a Limited Liability Corporation (regardless of the
state) can be useful for certain things and not as effective as folks think
for others. Those that say that they are worthless probably live in a very
liberal state (California).
If you have more than one owner or non-owner pilots, setting up a
corporation to own the plane is a good idea. In a lawsuit, normally, the
people who could be sued would be the pilot (he'll be at the crash site) and
whomever is listed as the owner with the FAA. If you own a plane as two
individual owners, and one of you crashes, then the other partner can be
sued even if he's not there. If you own a plane and have a pilot who
doesn't own it flying it, you could be sued for allowing the non-owner to
fly that plane. So, for these instances corporations can possibly be useful
as protection for the owner as an individual. This use for an LLC or Inc is
one of the primary benefits.
However, each state has different laws and climates for their state courts
(where the liability lawsuit is likely to be brought). The reason for the
apparent ineffectiveness of Inc. and LLCs to work for airplanes is that the
lawsuit can be brought in the state that the accident happens in as opposed
to the state the plane is kept and registered in. Planes tend to go all
over the country, and thus the laws where you stop (suddenly) can be
applied.
California has notoriously liberal laws, and yes, if the corporations sole
purpose is to evade liability then the 'coporate veil' could be 'pierced'
and the actual owner(s) assets could be at risk. Delaware is notorious for
having the most conservative laws regarding 'piercing the corporate veil'.
That's why so many companies are registered there.
Bottom line is that setting up an inc or llc is not completely worthless in
every situation, but could be depending upon the state in which you crash.

Glenn,
I would take one exception to your list, not all A&Ps are trained. And this
is a problem in some areas where the inspectors are a little loose in
signing off work experience, and the candidate takes a 3 day spin course.
That said, I know many good A&Ps who learned from the school of hard knocks
only, but somewhere out there is a plane with all their hard knocks on it.

Plane is still in the garage. I need to rivet on the front skin, put on the

| Subject: | Dynon mag update |
--> RV-List message posted by: Sam Buchanan <sbuc@hiwaay.net>
In a post of a few days ago, I mentioned that the remote magnetometer
installation on my Dynon EFIS had been problematic. I am happy to report
that the magnetic gremlins have been excised, and the heading function
of my Dynon EFIS is now working as designed.
Turns out I had a magnetometer that did not have the factory calibration
data onboard its memory chip. Once the crippled mag was replaced with an
intelligent one, and the field calibration routine completed, the
heading indicator began working with a less than five degree error. I am
confident that further tweaking will tighten the accuracy even more. Of
course, if we can get these magnetic gizmos to indicate with 2-3
degrees, that is probably as close as we can expect since I don't know
how we can practically align an airframe any closer than that to a
particular magnetic heading on the ground or in the air.
The mag in my plane is mounted on the deck under the leading edge of the
vertical stab. This is a good location that is easily accessible. The
only downside to this location I can see is the likely intrusion of
water; I wrapped the mag in a taped plastic bag but will probably go
back at some point and seal the mag with some proseal or RTV. The
proximity of the mag to elevator horns and the tailwheel spring have no
effect on the accuracy of the heading indications. Matter of fact, I
found I could leave the ELT antenna in its original location about six
inches from the magnetometer.
I need to point out the commendably patient efforts of Doug Medema at
Dynon to troubleshoot this problem and another issue I have had with my
Dynon. If Dynon continues to support their product in this manner, they
will be a major player in the EFIS game for a long time to come.
I am very pleased with the Dynon EFIS and the value it represents, and
look forward to future enhancements by the Dynon gang.

Hi John,
A lot depends on your particular RV and how it's configured. Mainly, Fixed
Pitch vs Constant Speed. The traditional formula of altitude for 75% power
at full throttle doesn't necessarily apply. This isn't always the way to
achieve "econ" cruise.
I'll keep this short, since a bunch of C/S guys can givey ou their specs,
but here's mine.
IO-360 (180hp) Fixed Pitch, 85". I can run the RPM past 2700 at any
altitude to 15,000 feet (I haven't had O2 to try above that). As a result,
I usually fly around at a lot less, around 2400. At 2700 I can zip along at
195-200mph, but I "sip" 10-11gph. At 2400, I can lope along at 170-175mph,
and drink only 7.8-8gph. If I slow down to 160 I can get the burn down to
6.9-7.4gph. Quick math tells you the slower I go, the further I can go, but
like most RV'ers I'm impatient, so I usually choose 170mph and 8gph.
Gives me lots of distance in 3.5-4hrs (+reserve), which is just about all my
bladder and butt really are comfortable with.
Someone of the C/S guys have done extensive studies on engine parameters,
fuel burn, MP, speed, etc.. would give you a much better and accurate answer
than my "seat of the pants" recording!
Hope this helps,
Stein Bruch

Jerry, I haven't a clue as to why they used someone else's pic in this
article. I had thought this site a good source of information until toda=
y.
Perhaps (?) they've forgotten how personal this can be. My sister actual=
ly
sent them a scathing e-mail ( she left a message on the phone, but it was
not returned ) about how they had reported this story about the Woodards.
Their remains were scattered...." no one, I think, wants to hear that,
least of all family and friends. There was no author or reporter was lis=
ted
as being responsible for this article.
If you should find out why why Greg Hale's pic was used, would you please
let me know via this board, or e-mail me direct. These past months have
truly been an experience, learning to deal with the FAA, NTSB, and the
media, searching for information. I've considered lately that I would li=
ke
to use this knowledge to help other families in the same situation.
Thanks for any help, resources, or insight y'all can provide. Anyone w=
ho
needs info on navigating this kind of loss, please e-mail me.

| Subject: | Dynon mag update |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Larry Bowen" <Larry@bowenaero.com>
"Turns out I had a magnetometer that did not have the factory
calibration data onboard its memory chip."
How was this determined? How can other customers be assured they don't
have the same problem?

--> RV-List message posted by: "Darwin N. Barrie" <ktlkrn@cox.net>
I have spent roughly 80 hours on the canopy detail. It is nearing
completion and I think it turned out nice. However the side frames do
not line up perfectly to the fuse sides. The left side is in about 1/16"
and the right side at the back sticks out about 1/16". Maybe I'm
nitpicking here but....
My question is, has anyone used any alignment pins (maybe two) on the
canopy frame that would align the frame to the fuselage? I'm thinking
maybe two pins one near the back and one farther forward that are
attached to the frame and go into holes in the fuse deck. This would
provide for perfect alignment of the frame to the fuse and would be very
easy to install.
I'm not going for a show stopper but the small details are important.
Let me know if I'm going over board here.
