Great pics Larry of LOE3!! Just as a side note, I own a Bonanza and had the
chance to sit in the 10 at Oshkosh. Trust me, the 10 has more interior
room........both front seats and rear seats.......than a Bonanza.
BTW, the Bonanza is for sale;)

The best way to reduce the effect of reflected light on a display is the
use of a circular polarizing filter. Such as:
http://www.edmundoptics.com/IOD/DisplayProduct.cfm?Productid=1299
This trick greatly helped the readability of "nixie" tube style numerical
displays, way back when.

| Subject: | VERY Compact Position Light / Landing Light Combo |
--> RV-List message posted by: Bill Dube <bdube@al.noaa.gov>
I designed and built these custom LED position lights for a LancAir owner.
He wanted to put LED position lights AND CreativAir landing lights in the
stock wingtip of a LancAir IV.
These are the smallest sheared tips imaginable. I wasn't sure it was
possible. After a few design iterations, however, I managed to cram it all
in. Here are some pictures of the port side unit.
http://www.killacycle.com/LAir1s.JPG
http://www.killacycle.com/LAir2s.JPG
http://www.killacycle.com/LAir3s.JPG
http://www.killacycle.com/LAir4s.JPG
The production design of the CreativAir combo light will strongly resemble
this custom LancAir light. However, the regulator board will be pin type
components, rather than surface-mount type components for ease of assembly
in a kit. (You have to be a Swiss watch maker to hand assemble the
surface-mount components.)
The CreativAir production units will have the hole pre-drilled, including
the center hole for the landing light, but will leave the area surrounding
the light untrimmed. This will allow the user to shape the board to fit
their particular wingtip.
If you want to, you could paint the face of the board to match your
airplane before you install the LEDs. Of course, you would have to use
non-conductive paint. Thus, no metallics.

Just for clarification and to hopefully prevent this topic from growing
beyond the actual problem, the display difficulty I mentioned is only
present when *direct* sunlight is falling on the display. If the
sunlight is filtered any by clouds/haze, or if the display is shaded to
any extent by the overhand of the panel glareshield, the display is very
readable.

Yeah, I'm out here snooping around, being somewhat jealous that I had to
work this weekend rather than going to LOE. But on the upside I did get to
work at an airshow, MCAS Miramar - Blue Angels, Sean Tucker, and Patty. They
sure are fun to watch. Its also amazing to me how much more intense the show
becomes as I have started to learn a few aerobatic manuvers. Damm, I'm such
a neophyte...
RE RMI, I haven't noticed it. I also haven't noticed a significant
degridation in VOR/LOC performance either, but I haven't really tested for
this. I normally don't use my VOR much as the GPS does a much better job. I
did shoot the LOC approach at SEE on it the other day, with the Dynon on and
it zipped right down the pipe.
That said, I have the INS422 by VAL and it doesn't seem to have real good
range. I've tried it with several types of antennas including RAMIs and Bob
Archer tip types. Its OK out to about 35nm and then gets very poor unless
I'm way up there near the sky Gods. I've never done much about this as the
GPS works so much better.
Whenever I get to affording the GNC 430 I'll get more serious about this
function and figure out if its the antennas, cables, connectors or the unit.
The INS422 is a good unit as it has all the basics, so it will become the
second vor/ils once I win the lottery and pony up to the Garmin.
I did get the AlTrak Alt Hold installed this weekend but only flew it for a
few minutes. It seems to work nicely though in spite of the fact that the
installation in a 6 slider will tie your hemorroids into knots. There is
just no easy way to hangout in the tail cone of a 6.
I did try to answer my question about dropping out of althold after changing
speed via changing throttle setting. I only changed it by about 20 kts and
popped it out. The stick did move quickly but not very far; it wasn't much
in terms of G force. I'll try to map this out some for some various speed
changes, but I don't think its going to be a problem unless one really
pushes this.
No matter what though the key to this for me is going to be procedural. Alt
hold needs to be the last to engage, and the first to disengage with respect
to transitioning into and out of any cruise altitude.

The trick I used to find the size I liked was to put a bunch of 3" post-it notes
in a checker pattern. I thought they looked a little small on the -8 so I taped
off 3.5" and like the look.

The size of the checkers are most definitely is to the eye of the builder

--> RV-List message posted by: Stuart B McCurdy <sturdy@att.net>
John and Denis,
Thanks for the comments about the LOE3 formation flights. We enjoyed
doing it. A formation is only as good as the pilots in it, so here's
the lineup so they can receive the deserved credit.
Lead: Stu (STURDY) McCurdy, RV-8, Round Rock, TX, Falcon Flight
#2: Lowell LeMay, RV-4, Austin, TX, Falcon Flight
#3: Seth Hancock, RV-6, Georgetown, TX, Falcon Flight
#4: Jim (NOMAD) Lawrence, RV-8, Marietta, GA, Team RV Eagles
#5: Johnny (RASCAL) White, RV-8, Auburn, AL, AL Guard
#6: Paul (ROSIE) Rosales, RV-6A, Lancaster, CA, SoCal Formation
#7: Gary Sobek, RV-6, Manhatten Beach, CA, SoCal Formation
#8: Glenn Smith, RV-8, Henderson, NV
#9: Jim (CUBES) Grahn, T-18, Nellis AFB, NV
It also demonstrates that the FFI formation evaluation and card produces
disciplined and proficient formation pilots who can come together from
around the country and fly formation, having never flown with one
another, when well briefed.

John I don't either but I recognized Stu McCurdy's fearless voice giving
the instructions to Falcon Flight. I believe he was augmented by the
inimitable So Cal group. It was a great display of precision, and to
really show his talent, the normal traffic was able to continue to land
and take off without any inconvenience that I noticed.
To sum it up, not just a great show but quite a display of professional
airmanship, consideration, and safe flight.
Way to go Stu, and all the others. My hat is off to you.
P. s. I couldn't believe my eyes but when they landed I saw they had a
Mascot!! An animal painted up to look like a Thorpe T-18! Sooo I
guess technically it was only eight RVs + the Thorpe who also did a
great job, no kidding.
PPS the fly in was a huge success. My estimate was well over 200, but
very hard to count. There must have been 300 plus at the banquet.
PPPs. Great Kudos to Red and all the folks at Adventure Aviation, who
really came through for us. Be sure and give them all the business you
can, folks.

I've got to add my thoughts as well. This was my 3rd year there and
it's better every year (even though my RV got T-P'ed AGAIN!...) I

This is WAY better than any other event I attend every year. Thanks

I agree, and the RV-10's rear legroom is almost too generous, if such a thing
is possible. But the baggage space is less than the Bonanza/Debonair (too
little for a 4 seat touring machine IMO), and it carries an hour's less fuel.

single-drive duel mag set-up(not the H model 0-320). What I would like
to do is add electronic ignition to one set of plugs for a more truly
redundant system.
Lightspeed said that you can bolt up just one mag to the acces.
case where the duel mag set-up goes but they aren't sure if you need any
different type of gear combination to do this. My only other option is
to use duel electronic, but I would rather use the mag/electronic.
Anybody else use or hear of doing this?.....Thanks in advance

Dave,
I contacted Bendix about this and received the attached email back. I
chose to go with the first method, keeping the drive gear.

Hello, Jim--
Wes has described the swap-out you're looking to do.
You have some choices to make. Here goes: The drive engagement for the four
cylinder dual magneto is different than for any production single magneto.
So either you're going to keep the new magneto 'stock' and install a
different gear than you are using now, or you're going to buy a single
magneto & some parts, modify that mag, and use the same engine drive gear
as is currently installed.
The IO-360-A1B6D is substantially similar to the IO-360-A1B6, except for
the magnetos and associated drive gears. I urge you to study the parts
catalogs for each & to ask Lycoming about this.
The IO-360-A1B6D uses a D-3000 magneto , and a drive gear that allows the
center of the magneto shaft to protrude through. The gear is not clamped to
the magneto shaft, it slides on with rubber drive biscuits. To keep this
gear, use a S4LN-1227 magneto, p/n 10-349365-3 (Rebuilt: BL-349365-3) and
modify as follows: Remove cotter pin, nut, lockwasher, bushing, woodruff
hey, washer, and impulse coupling. Carefully separate impulse cam assembly
from impulse coupling. Obtain 10-70371 Impulse Body, 10-51324 spring,
10-163048 bushing and 10-116860 washer. Assemble impulse cam assembly,
spring & body together per service manual. Install impulse coupling, washer
10-116860, woodruff key, 10-163048 bushing nut and cotter pin. The shape of
the S-1200 drive will now be very similar to the D-3000. Install the mag to
the engine per Lycoming timing instructions. You'll need a harness half.
TCM only sells whole harnesses. Unison harness half p/n M2642 is for the L
mag, for S-1200, 3/4-20 plugs on the IO-360-A1B6.
Although tempting, don't salvage the impulse coupling or impulse body from
the Dual mag: Because stop pin placement is so different, these parts will
not interchange and work properly on the S-1200. The washer and bushing can
be salvaged from the D-3000, however.
The other way to go is to obtain a S4LN-1227 magneto, p/n 10-349365-3
(Rebuilt: BL-349365-3) and the Left mag drive gear from an IO-360-A1B6.
Install the gear on the mag, mag on the engine, harness as above, and off
you go. Sounds simple, but the gear may be spendy, and there may be special
spacers required. Check that parts catalog, as I said, and study the
differences.
Best of luck--
TD

Wow....1 reply to the list and I got a TON of requests for pics of my RV6
center console. Easiest to reply here:
You can see some pics of my console on the new Ohio Valley RVators Yahoo
Group site. They're in the 'photos' section under 'Center Console' (you may have
to 'join' to see the photos):
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OhioValleyRVators/
I made a skeleton out of 3/4 X 3/4 aluminum angle and skinned it with .020 on
the sides and .032 for the padded/hinged lid. It's secured by 3 platenuts to
the (angled) vertical brace in the back and 3 platenuts to the seat pans on
the bottom. Very light and even 250# 'Bubba' could jump up and down on it - also
BIG TIME robust from side to side. Idea came from my good buddy Mike Stewart
- see pics of his on his website at:
http://www.mstewart.net/michael/rv/finishing/interior/interior.htm
I made mine a little wider than Mikes' so it would hold a 20oz pop bottle.
Make yours to suit your needs.
Also I'll mention that before making mine I purchased a wood one for about 30
bucks from Roger at 'Turtlewood Designs' advertised on Doug Reeves Website.
If you want one "right now" Roger will ship you a nice one that you can
'finish'. His was a little narrow for my needs so I sent it back (no questions
asked
- great guy) and had a ball making my own!! All builders have enough 'scrap'
laying around to easily make their own......and can make one start to finish
(including fabric) in about 8-10 hours of Pure Pleasure :
). You can see Rogers'
consoles here:

| Subject: | Fiberglass gear fairing |
--> RV-List message posted by: PGLong@aol.com
Thanks to all who responded to my questions about gear fairing. I'm not going
to use my aluminum fairings and have ordered the fiberglass "Gear Leg Fairing
Rod" kit from Van's.
Someone mentioned that there was an article in RVator about installing these
newer fairings. I have the "21 Years of the RV-ator" and it isn't in there.
I'm a recent subscriber to the RVator but must not have been when this article
was published. Is anyone able to find the article pertaining to installation of
the fiberglass fairings, scan and email me? Or even copy and send? Thanks for
your help.

I believe that Qantas' claim is that it has never had a hull loss. If
memory serves, they had an overrun on a 747 that basically totaled the
airframe but Qantas spent more money than a new one would have cost to
repair the aircraft to maintain there claim of no hull losses.

| Subject: | Source for BNC adapters? |
--> RV-List message posted by: HCRV6@aol.com
Bob or anyone: Does anyone know of a source for the type of BNC adapter
that Garmin uses in their new transponders and nav/com units (other than
direct from Garmin that is). These are the type that install in the chassis with
a
snap ring and have a plug in socket on the inside to mate with the unit and a
BNC jack on the outside.
I want to replace the solder type antenna coax snap ring adapters that came
with my KX-125. I called John Stark, but he said he has been looking for them
also with no success so far.
