    at.a.big.ISP@matronics.com --> RV-List message posted by: JNice51355@aol.com Folks Now I know that a stock 150hp Cherokee probably does not have the same level of power(pronounced vibration) that many RV's have, but I've had good luck with the lightweight starter for the past three years and about 450hrs. I fly Young Eagles, so "lots" of starts with that starter for those 20min. intros. Still working an that 6A. Some time down the road I'll have a chance to see if my luck with Skytech will change or not. Jim Nice Arlington, WA

Suggest you contact him for the information, as I can't remember the details because it didn't apply to my engine as I also have the Delco-Remy unit going strong. Cheers!!-----Henry Hore

    Subject: Re: F-6112 skin and sliding canopy question.
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Jim Jewell" <jjewell@telus.net> Hi Bill, If you have fitted al the mechanics and wiring etc. and the last thing to be done is rivet the skin on in prep for installing the windshield go ahead on it. If not and if you don't have any negative thoughts About fitting a lot of mechanical and wiring stuff while laying upside down head first under there, start riveting ......? I have mine fitted but have left it off while doing all the stuff mentioned above. I think I would have died in there otherwise. Laying under automotive dash boards is most likely how I got this damned arthritic back in the first place. I think out fitting behind and under the panel is the prime reason for hold off on riveting the top skin. Even then I just know I will have to go in there later for some reason or other.

    --> RV-List message posted by: "Jeff Orear" <jorear@new.rr.com> Bill: You did not mention if you are building a tip-up or slider canopy. I can only speak for the slider. I left mine un-riveted until I had my canopy frame in place. This gave me a chance to trim the skin to match the contour of the rear canopy frame bows. Also, make sure you have all your wiring runs that will go to the aft of the fuselage in place so you do not have to crawl back there later after that skin is on. Hope this helps.

    --> RV-List message posted by: BillRVSIX@aol.com I have left the forward skin off and all ready did the panel and wiring. The skin that's behind the baggage area is the one I am preferring to. Something about mounting the slider that people have suggested that you leave the top forward skin 6112 clecoed on until slider is fitted. Other than the cutting the final shape of the skin which I can do with most of the skin riveted on. just wondering what the other reasons might be. Thanks Bill RV6

    Subject: ELT in wingtip
    --> RV-List message posted by: Jim Bean <jim-bean@att.net> What does the list think about putting the ELT in the wingtip of a metal AC. It's the only place "inside" where it can radiate. It would seem that the ELT would see the same deceleration as if in the fuselage. Also the wings often survive better that the fuselage, particularly if they are pulled off. The only problem I see is that the wingtip would have to be removed once a year to change the batteries. I have never seen this done so suspect that there MUST be something wrong with it. :) Jim Bean RV-8

    Subject: Re: F-6112 skin and sliding canopy question.
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Pat Hatch" <pat_hatch@msn.com> Bill, I'll try to take a shot at this...the windscreen support bar gets anchored to the center rib by a couple of AN3 bolts, I believe. When you mount the windscreen, you will also mount the support bar and then drill in assembly with the center rib. Somewhere in here you need to slot the top skin for the support bar. The top skin will come on and off several times during this process...so don't rivet it on yet. Actually, I would wait as long as possible before riveting this skin...you will need access for wiring, etc. all the way to the end and it gets to be a real pain to get behind the panel once the top skin is on. What you will find when you finally rivet it on is that you will have to use lots of the MK 319 rivets because access for a bucking bar is almost impossible in many places. You will need to seal these rivets to make things water tight. Hope this helps.

    Subject: Re: F-6112 skin and sliding canopy question.
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Pat Hatch" <pat_hatch@msn.com> OK, I guess you meant the rear top skin....sorry, I thought it was the forward top skin. Anyway, I went ahead and riveted the F-6112 prior to fitting the canopy without any problems. You will probably need to trim away a lot of the forward part where it curves as you fit the canopy, otherwise you should have no problems. Actually, I don't think you can fit the rear canopy skirts properly without riveting the F-6112 skin first. Good luck.
