If I align the top skin with the firewall the side edges don't end up parallel to the side skins (F-820). To get the sides parallel, the top skin needs to sit kind of crooked on the firewall (the front right corner about 1/8" forward and the front left corner 1/8" back). It will be difficult to rivet it to the firewall flange like this and it might create problems later when mounting the cowl (and it certainly doesn't look good!). Did anyone else come across this problem?

Good news is they light the panel very well. Bad news is that before my recent panel overhaul, I had 2 of 5 instruments lit from the instrument. Lit instruments are much easier to read than the flood lights. This looks and feels way better than the eyeball lights. But the eyeballs work just fine. Either get lit instruments or don't. But if you get some that are, and some that aren't, you will clearly see the difference and wish you had all your instruments lit internally. IT annoyed me for a long time.

Early on with the emp., man I used that soldering iron to perfectly melt strips of the blue stuff leaving only rivet lines. Man, was I ever doing it right!! Lo and behold someone sent me an email that burst my bubble:-) You know, new builders, you are going to scotchbrite pad the entire airplane before you paint it anyway. Next SNF, find an unpainted RV and look along the rivet lines. If the person used a soldering iron, most will have nice parallel scratch lines to the rivet lines, Hum... I decided to devote my time to building the airplane, peeled the blue stuff off and was as careful as possible (I'd do that anyway whether it was blue or shiny) and pounded away. Since I have now started the painting process, in may case your mileage may vary, I don't have any scratches a scotchbrite and primer won't mend. Just a thought.............

Do you keep the humidity low? How? I use a dehumidifier in my shop (had to being near Houston). Are you sure you're not getting a little condensation every morning with temp swings? Mine cost ~$150. Pretty small price compared to repurchase of metal pieces. It's just difficult for me to imagine corrosion under vinyl in even a remotely dry shop. None at all seen on my metal. Built an -8 in a little over 3 yrs - 80313, started in '97. I had a fair amount of metal left in my scrap box and I never noticed corrosion after 3,4 5 yrs. on pieces with vinyl or without, Alclad and not.

Nuckolls really packed 'em in last year and it was another of those "best $$$ spent on the plane" deals. Highly recommended. People had flown in from as far away as LA (lower Alabama) and Wisconsin. As an aside, our 1st day seminar was on February 1, and as we went on our first break that morning, Columbia was disintegrating over Texas. As sobering as this was, it was interesting to see how a roomful of aviation professionals and fans absorbed and dealt with the event. Bob handled it graciously and briefly, then continued to give us all our money's worth. If you go for no other reason than to experience his dedication to educating others, then that's reason enough. Hope you get a class arranged!

I was trying to relate the specifics of the RV-10 manual reference for the plastic removal. It located in paragraph 5M and simply says that the vinyl should be removed within a few weeks because the adhesive strengthens with time.

I received my wing kit several weeks after my emp. I bought my kit when only the emp was available, but was early enough to get the wings as soon as they started shipping. My entire wing kit did not come all at once. If I recall, it took several seeks for all the bits and pieces to arrive. I would check those spots very closely. Some of my skins had what appeared to be little spots, hardly visible through the plastic, but when a scotch brite pad and a little alumiprep was applied, it not only was pitted, but in some cases a layer was removed and you can see the edges. Note, this was all done under the watchful eye of a FAA inspecter. This really raised his eyebrow!

He has been tinkering around with this for a year or two now ... on his "own time" (at home I think). He makes it clear that this is NOT a current Van's Aircraft undertaking.

I sincerely believe that if we Navy rats would have been more resourceful, we could have changed the Earth's orbit with a couple of AD-1s and a good chain. When that W-3350(?) kicked on, you knew it was going to be a good day The T-2 Buckeye, after its primary trainer days, was used as a "spin trainer"--you either loved it or you hated it, but what a blast that was--upright, inverted, sideways, whatever--I believe it was mandatory (good word) every 2 yrs for Navy pilots.

I polished the tip then marked the plastic using a metal straight edge as a guide. The secret seems to be in the speed you move the iron along the plastic, I found that you don't want to melt through to the metal just score the plastic.I run two lines about an inch apart, sometimes the score marks are not quite deep enough and the plastic will start to tear, in this case just go back with the iron an lightly score again. This has worked well for me, no marks on the metal. I like to leave the plastic on to prevent scratches during the long building process.

Situations such as described below could reasonably be caused if flecks of foreign matter (such as iron filings or grit) became lodged in or under the plastic sheeting and the usual dissimilar metals exchange of electrons, etc. occurred to oxidize the surface. The plastic covering seems more to be put in place to prevent physical damage to the sheets (surface scratches from handling) rather than act as an impermeable membrane to keep moisture away from the surface. A small puncture cause by a piece of iron grit or similar would actually let moisture enter under the plastic which would then hold it in place against the alclad which would promote dissimilar metal effects. Parts that come without the covering would stay generally drier and simple handling would tend to remove any bits of foreign matter or shift them around on the surface. Introduction of foreign matter could occurred at the aluminums mill where the plastic covering was applied or during later handling or processing of the material. Unpacking wing skins and flopping them down on a workbench or shop floor contaminated by metal filings would be one way to cause this. Hopefully Vans has good house-keeping practices in place in their shop and storage facilities as well to prevent this sort of thing occurring. Looking at the problem from this standpoint, early removal of the plastic coating when inventorying a kit might be the best course of action. I used the soldering iron along the rivets lines technique myself and pulled the bulk of the plastic just before scotchbriting and painting my -6A, a complication I should probably have skipped. The plastic was on my wing skins for about three years with no noticeable ill effects. A close metallurgical analysis of some of the damaged sheets should be able to determine the cause. Hopefully if Vans can get hold of some samples this can be sorted out.

R -----Original Message----- From: Eustace Bowhay [mailto:ebowhay@jetstream.net] Subject: RV-List: First flight decisons --> RV-List message posted by: "Eustace Bowhay" In addition to all that has been said on this subject one of the most important items is the engine. If one is starting with a new or overhauled engine it is critical that ground running be kept to an absolute minimum. For me this would be a start-up and checking for any snags, clearing the snags if any then out to the runway and gone. The reason for this is the engine needs to be run at power settings high enough to seat the rings like 75% in cruise until the oil consumption stabilizes. Taxiing and running up and down the runway will glaze the cylinders and you will have a oil burner with the only cure being to pull the cylinders and deglaze and new rings. This mean that the first flight should be done by someone that is current on the RV and needs no practicing on the ground. Not trying to discourage anyone from doing the first flight but you have to be honest with yourself and ask if your prepared to go under these conditions.

For about three months now, I have had 3 pieces of scrap laying in the bed of my pickup truck in an attempt to win an argument with Jim Sears. I coated one piece of scrap with Zinc Chromate, another piece with Napa Zincrom and the third piece was left bare. Not only have I not found any corrosion on the coated pieces, but the bare piece looks just fine as well. I don't understand how aluminum covered with the vinyl from Vans could start corroding while sitting on a shelf awaiting use. Perhaps if the shelf it was sitting on was made of salt and the air was 90% saturated then perhaps I could see it. But, I'm having trouble seeing covered aluminum corroding when you can go to your local airport and see bare aluminum aircraft sitting there doing just fine. The only way I can see corrosion on new plastic covered skins would be for the skins to be covered in plastic while wet, even then the alclad should have protected them. My biggest concern right now is that I'm about to receive my wing kit and I'm trying to figure out what I should do for storage. Plastic - on or off?

OSPHO Rust Primer (Skybryte) A metal treatment or primer that converts rust to an inert, hard substance that can be painted. Also can be used on new or clean metal to make subsequent paint coatings more effective in controlling rust. Recommended for use under oil-base primers and paints. Test a small area before using under epoxy or latex paints. Equally effective for exterior and interior work. Covers approximately 600 sq. ft. per gallon and normally requires overnight drying before topcoating. Contains phosphoric acid. Brushes and spray equipment can be cleaned with water. Avoid spreading OSPHO on adjacent areas such as painted surfaces, concrete, masonry, and stonework. If splashing occurs, flush immediately with water. Available in quart or gallon.

The fact that you are from a tax-exempt state (MA) could actually complicate things because the test here is that if you have paid some kind of sales tax previously this exempts you from FL sales tax (as long as it was over 6 months ago). In reality, I think they go by the date of registration--for cars or airplanes--so if it has been more than 6 months since your airplane was registered, my bet is that you will be OK. But check with the Dept of Rev, nice folks, actually! Anyway, no other tax is due in FL on airplanes, no use, luxury, or personal property tax here!

The first issue is that Part 43.1B excludes Exp from this part, but paragraphs or verbiage of Part 43 are referenced by Part 91. In particular 91.405 and 91.407 reference specific paragraphs of Part 43 by requiring the owner to maintain records and do not allow for continued operations unless record entries are made after maintenance is done in accordance with those paragraphs in Part 43. So the question is, does the Part 43.1B exclusion override the Part 91 specific references to part 43 paragraphs, or does the Part 91 claims to "any aircraft" override the 43.1B exclusion in those specific references. To me this seems purely interpretive on the part of the FAA, but I believe that Part 91 overrides the 43.1B exclusion given that the exclusion only excludes the part as a whole but makes no attempt to exclude references to chunks of the part by other parts. The other question is who can do the work and return the Exp aircraft back to service particularly when the original builder is no longer in the picture. This sort of falls under 91.403 which says nobody can do the work on an aircraft unless they are included (listed) in that subpart (E) or other applicable parts including 43. Well 43 is the only place that lets an A&P or anybody else do the work, but if 43 is excluded from this for EXP's by 43.1B, then nobody can do the work. And the rest of Part 91 Subpart E doesn't really list anybody else who can do this work except for a few places where it allows for the manufacturer to do things like a transponder check (91.413 C 3). So in this case 43 must be included or nobody can do the work, yet if it is then A&Ps must be in the picture for any maintenance done beyond PM on an EXP. Now I've never explored this because I've always been an A&P or the manufacturer, but I have a number of associates who are second owners who are not really following these requirements, particularly the record keeping. Certainly its reasonable to allow the manufacturer to maintain the aircraft even though the regs don't clearly indicate this, but a second owner could be a mere pilot with no skills at anything other than flying. I wouldn't want to be a passenger in an aircraft being maintained by someone of such limited stature. I guess I personally don't really care much, but I do believe that they are wasting their money on insurance as their aircraft are legally not airworthy as per these regs if they maintain or alter it. It seems like I am missing something here, or this is just being look at from afar as being beyond the current scope of the FAA. Any of your wisdom or thoughts would be appreciated, although I fully understand that Ms. Blakely's word is the only thing that really matters. ;{) Wheeler ________________________________ Message 43 ____________________________________ Time: 04:04:49 PM PST US From: Bill Dube Subject: Re: RV-List: LED Warning Lamps --> RV-List message posted by: Bill Dube At 04:10 PM 11/19/2003 -0700, you wrote: >--> RV-List message posted by: Gary Zilik > >Disclaimer - I have searched the archives > >I plan on using some small LED's as and enunciator panel for such things >as low fuel, starter engaged, low volt, etc. I bought some neat little >led's from mouser and the other night I wanted to see how bright they >were.

An LED that shows nicely in daylight will nearly blind you at night. There are a bunch of ways to do this, but it must be done somehow. The brightness of an LED is directly proportional to the current flowing through it. The voltage across the LED is only very loosely associated with the brightness, so you are pretty much forced to dim the LED by controlling the current, rather than the voltage. You typically operate an LED on 12 volts by installing a series resistor to limit the current. As has been noted by others, the typical current is 20 mA, so you pick a resistor using Ohm's law to deliver that current. To make the LEDs dimmer, you must reduce the current. In a warning light, you want the circuit that does this to be as reliable as possible. You can reduce the current by either increasing the series resistance or by reducing the voltage that feeds the series resistor. Increasing the series resistance would likely be the simplest and most reliable. Some sort of "day/night" switch would probably be adequate. You could put two resistors in series on each warning light. You would then put a small diode at the connection between each of these series resistors. You would then connect the free end of each of these diodes to a "bypass" switch. The other terminal of the switch would be connected to plus 12 volts. When you close the bypass switch, it would cut out (bypass) one of the series resistors and make the LEDs brighter. When you open the switch, current would have to flow through both of the resistors and the light would be dim. Plus 12 V --------/\/\/\/\-------------o----/\/\/\/\-----(LED1) ---- ground ! ! Plus 12 V ---(switch)----o----! RV-List message posted by: "Jim Bower" All, I've been off the list for a while, so howdy from St. Louis! I took delivery of a beautiful overhauled O-320 from AeroSport Power in June of 2002. It was all I had expected, and more. Ok, now the bad news. This year I got a nastygram from the state of Missouri demanding about $800.00 sales tax for that beast. It seems that customs reported the fact that I bought an engine from a Canadian company, and the state wanted its pound of flesh. After trying all subtle means of ducking the tax, I paid it. Nobody else I know (and I know a lot of builders) has had to pay taxes on the items we mail order from other states (and other countries). According to my state's tax attorney, Missouri forgives a total of $2,000.00 per year of internet or mail order purchases. Obviously, any Van's kit, an engine, or several instruments will bust that minimum. I would never rat out my fellow builders, but I wanted to make everyone aware that the states are busy looking under all the couch cushions for money, and you may get a little note from the revenooers your own selves.

An easy way to do this is either go to a chapter meeting or just contact some of the guys and tell them your situation. Maybe even go to the Acro newsgroup or the Exploder. Maybe even get hold of Rob Dorsey and have him give you some names who are close to you. He is at American-Aerobatics.com. This way you would have a very good feel for the one you like. Keep in mind that some chutes are not comfortable from design and others are uncomfortable from the packer... Where do you live, Maybe I can hook you up with someone.

(Big shudder!) True, most states can't track the various and sundry items we order on the net, but they can effectively track big ticket items that need to be eventually registered. So....I will pay the use tax else I be dinged for the estimated value of my labor. Still, let's face it; we are still getting a pretty good deal!

I took delivery of a beautiful overhauled O-320 from AeroSport Power in June of 2002. It was all I had expected, and more. Ok, now the bad news. This year I got a nastygram from the state of Missouri demanding about $800.00 sales tax for that beast. It seems that customs reported the fact that I bought an engine from a Canadian company, and the state wanted its pound of flesh. After trying all subtle means of ducking the tax, I paid it. Nobody else I know (and I know a lot of builders) has had to pay taxes on the items we mail order from other states (and other countries). According to my state's tax attorney, Missouri forgives a total of $2,000.00 per year of internet or mail order purchases. Obviously, any Van's kit, an engine, or several instruments will bust that minimum. I would never rat out my fellow builders, but I wanted to make everyone aware that the states are busy looking under all the couch cushions for money, and you may get a little note from the revenooers your own selves.

This is primarily to make sure that it meets certain parameters such as power output, oil pressure and that there are no internal problems that could cause trouble later such as metal showing up in the oil. The run is done to a check list and it also starts the seating of the rings to the cylinders. It can take few or several hours of flight time before the oil consumption becomes constant and will vary from one engine to another depending on how careful it was flown in the first few hours, this such as climbing out at to low an airspeed with high head temps or on the other hand pulling the power off at high altitude and shock cooling the cylinders, will also vary depending on the type of cylinders that were installed. It is just a common sense thing, it needs the higher power setting to do a good job of seating the rings and will make the difference between using a quart of oil every 25 hours or one every five hours. Once the oil consumption has stabilized then use what ever power setting you prefer, 65% is ideal or seventy if you want to burn more fuel. Lycoming states in there engine manual that 75% is max for continuous cruise. I put a lengthy post on engine handling some time ago , you might wont to take a look at it.
