Laird,
you bring up a very good point in terms of VFR vs IFR utilization. To me if
I had built this with IFR being the base platform I was shooting for, I
would have paid the bucks and used an integrated two axis platform, as its
really not possible in that environment to say which is more useful. Without
either its much more workload, having only one doesn't reduce the workload
much, but having both does, the sum of the parts not being equal to having
both.
In the VFR environment the roll axis seems to provide great reduction in
workload, more so then the pitch does. Certainly the emergency feature of
the roll device is nice, but I didn't go there because of the one time I
really had to use this. In the aftermath of my own reflections I had to
admit that I was counting on that as an out when I flew into conditions that
could easily transition beyond my abilities without such devices. That is a
no no in my opinion, and I have hopefully rectified my decision making
process in this area. I no longer consider the Navaid as an emergency device
for any reason.

Instead of trying to borrow a prop, have you considered mounting the spinner
backplate with spacers instead? Vans or Hartzell should be able to give you the
thickness of the prop. You could use either PVC pipe or lots of washers to get
the appropriate spacing.

> Guys, is there a recommended life limit on flexible oil lines? Aerosport
Power is quoting $165 for a rigid stainless steel line between the governor
and prop, and $80 for a flexible fire-sleeved hose. Sounds like the
flexible line is the obvious choice unless it has to be replaced more often.
I suppose it may weigh a bit more too. Anybody see something I'm missing,
or know where I might find any better prices than this? (Usually it's hard
to beat Aerosport Power but it never hurts to ask...)

Mark,
The $165 sounds about right. I paid $145 for mine about 4 years ago. Any
flexible line I've researched should be replaced after 5 years, especially
in a high pressure critical application like the prop governor. Not wanting
to hassle with it in the future, I bit the bullet and paid the extra $ for
the SS line and am glad I did.

Had the same issue on the EM2 engine monitor I just (finally) finished
development on. The filter used on VFD displays exposed to direct sunlight
makes a huge difference. I know you don't want to dig into your autopilot
but you might try a little patch of removable window tint (for car windows)
over the display and seeing the effect. One layer of the 'dark' tint or two
layers of 'medium' tint made mine direct sunlight readable. There are even
better solutions out there but not ones that you can find at the corner auto
parts store.

I wonder if this "tinted overlay" would work on iPaqs used for mapping

I don't know what a VFD display is and if any PDAs use that type display.

I don't think this type of filter would work very will on the Ipaq. The Ipaq actualy
has a reflective display and needs light on the front to be seen. I think
the main issue with the Ipaq is the touch screen prevents any type of anti-glare
coating on the display. Any type of coating would get scratched off using
the device. It is sun light readable but you also get the glare of the sun
in your eyes.

Filters are most effective on displays that generate their own light (like
VFDs or plasma).
Tried the window tint on LCD version of the EM2 and it was a miserable
failure, even with the backlight on.
I use AnywhereMap with an iPAQ but never tried the window tint on it.
Probably would not work since it is an LCD display. I'm surprised your
friend found the iPAQ not acceptable though.

An important component of an iPAQ installation is a mount that allows
the iPAQ to be adjusted for various reflections and lighting conditions.
I have found that a slight adjustment of the RAM ball mount on my iPAQ
is enough to eliminate sun glare or a reflection from the passenger's
light-colored shirt.
As with many reflective screens, polarized sunglasses will inhibit the
apparent brightness of the iPAQ screen. But I find the iPAQ to be easy
to read under all daylight conditions, and the AnywhereMap software is a
supremely capable nav tool.

Southwest Aviation is slightly cheaper than Adventure Aviation, $2.40 vs
$2.44 plus they'll also give you another $.10 off if you're an AOPA
member. It doesn't matter where you park, either can fuel you. But you
may not have much choice. When I arrived (in the Navion) ~3:30 there
were 130 RV's and a friend who arrived later said they were up to 150
plus another 150 expected to arrive on Sat. Come early. It's shaping up
as a phenomenal event.

I'm surprised as well. I've used an Ipaq/Anywhere Map for several
years. The only display problem is at night when you can't turn it down
enough. Then the mylar sun screen film helps. It would light up the whole
canopy in the RV-4.

A quick search on the net produced this:
Use of Decoration Materials In University Residence Halls
The following is a flame-resistant formula:
Borax: 7oz.
Boric Acid: 3 oz.
Hot Water: 2 quarts
These materials can be purchased from a drug store. The material to be
treated should be dipped in or sprayed with the solution. After
treatment, check several small pieces of the material to assure
flame-resistance. Re-apply if sample burns after initial test.

There are foams that meet your criteria: ask Oregon Aero for their
catalog
(I've no financial ties to them)- I just got mine and it is full of a lot
of
interesting photos and info as well as difficult to find items. Prices
are a
little on the high side but they do have the research done. Does
anyone know
what the chemical is that you can spray on things that makes it fire
resistant?
It was discovered during the WWII .AO? Geoff
