Northern Lights Avionics in Anchorage has a made-up pigtail for just
this. One wire plugs into the camcorder audio-out port, the rest of it
plugs in-line between your headset and intercom. I've had one for years
and they work great.

Not that it means much but I remember that at least the 4's were allowed to
use structural pop rivets extensively by Vans. I have seen several of them
with the entire bottom wing skins done this way.
They aren't that pretty, but then who spends much time under the plane?

Is it a good idea to prime the rivet heads after driving? I haven't
seen anyone mention this, though I think it wouldn't be a "bad" thing to
do. I'm specifically talking about places like the HS skeleton before
skinning - places you won't ever see again after the skin is installed.

Phil,
It is not necessary to prime rivet heads after driving but for me old hourly production
work habits die hard. Like routine construction practices required on
some of the taxpayers combat aircraft, I prime both the manufactured head AND
the shop head. In my case, after mixing and spraying epoxy primer there is
always a small amount of primer left in the paint gun (can) and it is simple enough
matter using a disposable art brush to make good use of the left over primer
to touch up bare rivets as I find them. Necessary? Of course not. But it
can't hurt a thing.

| Subject: | Re: AFS Waterbourne painting |
--> RV-List message posted by: Andy Karmy <andy@karmy.com>
Ok, I talked with Paul (owner of AFS) about this and have heard him
speak on it at one of the Arlington airshow forums about painting with
AFS.
The polyisocyanate that is in the paint is the bad stuff like you say.
The bad thing about ISO's in polyurethane is that they want to bind to
water molecules. Using a normal solvent based system the only water is
YOU so it wicks into your pores and tear ducts looking for water to
bind to.
With the AFS system the thinner is water... So as soon as you mix the
paint it has all the water it needs and then some so it is then no
longer a threat to you and thus the reason you don't need forced air
respiration.

In reply to your recent post on AFS:=A0=A0AFS provides more then one
waterborne paint system. My comments were on the two part polyurathane
waterborne offering from AFS. Here is a clip from their web site:
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
".....Aircraft Finishing Systems Waterborne TWO-PART POLYURETHANE
TOPCOAT is a
solvent free, water dispersible polyisocyanate. It provides outstanding
coverage, excellent durability, and ease of application as well as being
a low
VOC and EPA compliant coating. Aircraft Finishing Systems Waterborne
Two-Part
Polyurethane Topcoat offers superior adhesion and has film properties
that
exceed most solvent based catalyzed polyurethane systems......"
Notice the mention of ISO's in the description. Also, nowhere in the AFS
website is there mention of safety or breathing concerns. I think it
only prudent to error on the save side when using this(or any)
Polyurathane paint by using the proper breathing equipment.

All test conditions were at full throttle. Only the RPM was reduced.
Manifold pressure was consistent at 23.5 inches for all test points.

From The owner himself. It's a splitter only.

Mike, this is a simple splitter that connects in-line with your
headphones (stereo compatible) and parallels to the mike input of your
camera recorder. Basically the camera records exactly what you hear.

I understand you make a pigtail to hook a camcorder audio up
with an intercom.
This was taken from a discussion group.
Northern Lights Avionics in Anchorage has a made-up pigtail for
just

this. One wire plugs into the camcorder audio-out port, the rest
of it

plugs in-line between your headset and intercom. I've had one
for years

Laird,
Thanks for the additional data points on prop testing. In my mind, the
significance isn't the speed change, which was only 2%, but the fuel
flow increase for effectively the same speed. 40% change in fuel flow
is a pretty big deal even if there had been an increase in speed of 2%.
If you have fuel flow measurement in your plane, would you do all of us
the favor of measuring your fuel flow at the same MP & the 3 rpms? You
shouldn't have to refly the speed test; just a flow number at that
density altitude & each rpm. Logically, the flow will be lower at lower
rpm but I'd really like to know if you see the same 40% increase from
2400 to 2700 rpm.
Thanks,
Charlie

| Subject: | How many RV's to change a light bulb |
--> RV-List message posted by: Neil McLeod <neilmcleod@direcway.com>
Actually found on the Acro list
(1) Changes the light bulb and posts that it has been
replaced.
(12) Share their experiences in light bulb changing
and methods of replacing bulbs.
(7) warn that changing the light bulb is dangerous.
(27) complain about the spelling and grammar of the
first 20.
(53) argue with the wise guys saying that "spling
doznt mattah".
(156) members IM the admins and mods that discussing
changing light bulbs is off topic in this forum.
(41) correct the grammar in the posts of the 80 that
argue.
(109) request the thread to be moved to the "light
bulb forum".
(203) request that the spelling/grammar argument
should be moved to the "grammar lounge" and the
"spelling test forum".
(111) say that we all use light bulbs and that
discussing changing them in a public forum may offend
some.
(306) argue about the best place to buy bulbs, the
best way to change them, and which brand of bulbs are
best.
(27) link to sites where you can see various bulbs.
(14) say that links don't work and that "here's the
right link".
(3) say that these sites are inaccessible through
their firewall or that those who visit them will get
fired.
(33) sort the previous posts and compile one big text
and add their own opinion at the end.
(12) claim that they are leaving the forum forever
because they can't stand the thread.
(4) suggest to start a FAQ on light bulbs and their
changing.
(25) request a new forum called "light bulb forum".
(47) claim that physics.cold.fusion was meant just for
this.
(56) argue about turbocharged vs NA bulbs.
(400) post complete and utter nonsense.
(85) complain that the 15k sized picture of the light
bulb is too large for their modems.
And then, the guy that posts to complain because the
original poster didn't do a search for "light bulbs"
before posting his experience!

--> RV-List message posted by: "Amit Dagan" <amitdagan@hotmail.com>
Has anyone had any experience with the combination of the Softcomm ATC-2P
and the SL-30?
I would like to see a wiring diagram.
Specificaly, did you connect the mic 2 (pin #15 on the Sl30 connector) to
anything?
Has anyone had any good/bad experience just using the internal intercom
within the SL30?
Thanks,
Amit.
