If I'm not mistaken, they closed at noon on the Christmas Eve and New Years
Eve. Kinda a family business thing to do, wasn't it!! So, the 23rd. order
day, it would normally go out the next day so the 23rd. doesn't count. Hum,
let the work force off on Christmas Eve when they have orders form the the
23rd. to process, how heartless. Off the weekend following Christmas so now
they have Mon, Tuesday and 1/2 day Weds. to process orders then closed for
the holidays and inventory the 1st. through the 9th. Geez folks, Randy I'm
not raggin on you but for goodness sakes.........the order was on December
23rd.
I still they have exemplory service. I still compare them to the local
hardware store where I can walk in get three screws, four bolts and two
washers........then walk up to the cashier, lay them down and tell here:
"three at .07, four at .17 and two at .03". I'd go out of my way to buy
from either of the companies.

Sorry, I didn't realize they weren't open for business or shipping 29, 30,
or 31 December.
And please keep the "flames" coming...the RV-List wouldn't be anywhere near

Here is my response to CBS:
CBS is smoking crack as usual on their reporting of the risk posed by
general aviation. Once again, I dismiss your "news" reporting as a joke
and shelve it as fodder for the mindless drones whom accept this garbage as
reporting.
Come fly with me while you still can and I will show you how general
aviation looks after its own. I will also show you what it means to be
part of one of the most freedom-loving and patriotic groups to grace our
wonderful country.

As much as you are passionate about your opinions, this is not an

This statement has no supporting evidence, and exposes the writer to
libel. It puts you on the same level as the news piece.

This is, of course your opinion, but blowing off the news report this
way does not offer any constructive criticism. If you're going to
attack the news media, you need to, as some other emails have, point out
the errors in their reporting. Let's face it, the reporters aren't
aviation knowledgeable, and they love to take quotes out of context to
support the view of the piece. Even some of the local pilots say stupid
things sometimes, and when you're being interviewed, think twice and
form your answers carefully. Generalized bad-mouthing doesn't do
anything for our credibility.

A most generous offer. I doubt that it will come to fruition.
I'm not picking on Don specifically here, as there's been other poor
(IMHO) responses posted here and on other forums.

Talk about mis-quoted, out of text. Reminds of a news report interview I
gave on a murder investigation while on Fontana PD. Two days of the 7-8 were
for the 29th and 30th. Ya'll musta cut & pasted two or more replies as some
of those words were not mine. KABONG "Food fight, food fight" 8*) Do

Oh, you know me: I wait until the flames get really high and hot, then
throw some more 100LL on the fire. Nuff said already. Someone mentioned
something about Van's competition. Didn't know the RV designs HAD any
competition.
Us greybeards on the list, you know, had to be very patient when we were
building as the telegraph wires would occasionally get blown down or,
out west here, cut down by the Indians. There were delays that became
pretty frustrating, though. Like the time the load of bauxite I ordered
was delayed when the mule train was caught in a snowstorm crossing the
Rocky Mountains. That was pretty aggravating. Why, I remember the
time...........

--> RV-List message posted by: marknlisa@hometel.com
This is what I sent to CBS:
Your segment on the "danger" that general aviation aircraft might
be "packed with explosives" becoming "devastating bombs" is exactly the
response Osama Bin Laden prays to Allah for. If you don't believe me,
look up the definition of terrorism. Of course that would mean doing some
research; a word you might also wish to look up. Osama's prayers are as
misguided as your effort to "inform" the public. Or maybe your intent was
to sensationalize a frightening topic. Nah, couldn't be.
The amount of explosives you can carry in the average general aviation
aircraft is a great deal less than you can carry in the average SUV (not
to mention your average Ryder rental truck). Which do you think is easier
to acquire? Shouldn't we do something about that? Are you totally
unencumbered by the thought process?
Or perhaps you know exactly how ridiculous this all sounds, how much
you've unnecessarily terrorized the public and don't mind being Osama Bin
Laden's ambassador.
This is what I sent to the sponsors:
Regarding CBS's broadcast on 14 Jan concerning General Aviation security;
this story is full of half-truths and outright lies; its a sham. CBSs
assertion that small airports, like the one I live on, pose a significant
security threat is just plain silly. Unless an aircraft is transient
(i.e. landing to pick up fuel/passengers) everyone here knows everyone
else. There are no private hangars or parking ramps accessible to
transient aircraft; it would be impossible for a stranger to load an
aircraft with explosives in secret. Further, a fully loaded light
aircraft weighs less than an empty Honda Civic. Even the largest of light
aircraft (of the type that can land or take off from a short runway) can
carry much less that the average SUV. Ill suggest that a Ryder rental
truck is much easier to acquire, can be loaded with much more secrecy and
can be positioned much more easily and accurately than a small aircraft
(remember Oklahoma City?). I guess listing the security vulnerabilities
of rental trucks isnt sensational enough.
In addition, CBSs claim than nothing has been done to improve General
Aviation (GA) security is just plain false. I would encourage you to
contact the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA). AOPA is just
one of several private organizations that are working closely with the FAA
and Homeland Security Department to improve GA security. AOPA has
developed and disseminated a set of security guidelines that all users of
small airports can follow, an initiative taken without a government
mandate. Take a look at the following website:
http://www.aopa.org/asn/watchindex.shtml
Its apparent to anyone with a modicum of knowledge about the GA community
that CBS is using a frightening topic to generate ratings. I generally
dont hold this against news organizations because its important to keep
the public informed, but I DO expect these organizations to do some basic
researchhell, just use a little common sense and THINK for a minute!
What it all boils down to is this: CBS is following Osama Bin Ladens
playbook by unnecessarily terrorizing the public, and your company is
paying them to do it. Id like to know how you feel about that.

Hi Doug-
Except for the f-glass on the front edge of my canopy (-6A tip-up) the entire
perimeter of my canopy is glued with proseal. I also used #6 screws on the
canopy skirts and #4 around the rear glass to skin,and two at the very top of
the front bubble for initial locating on installation. (no other fasteners on
rollbar or bow) I do wish I had added some black tint to the proseal as it
has a slight brownish color where you see it through the glass.
Not flying yet (but almost!) and very pleased with it so far. Clean, water &
air tight, and I believe it also stiffened up the canopy somewhat. No
reaction to the plexi I can detect at all since installation about 3 monhs ago.
Gotta love that proseal! And it's Atkins approved, too!! 8-)

--> RV-List message posted by: "Bruce Bell" <rv4bell@door.net>
Hi All,
I am switching plugs from auto spark plugs to REM37BY spark plugs. I have
two Jeff Rose Ignitions on my IO320 Lyc. Two suggestions so far are: 1.
Needle nose pliers and 2. Ice pick. I don't like either one. Looks to me a
quick way to destroy at $15.00 plug. I need to go from .018 to .035 gap.
Lots of tools to decrease the gap but what about increasing it?
Best Regards,

Leave the gap alone and go fly. You'll destroy the plugs if you try and
widen the gap.

--> RV-List message posted by: John Decuir <dacure@earthlink.net>
I have a Terra/Trimble TN200 w/GS and Tri-nav indicator, and really have
no complaints until just recently; the OBS knob will not work. I can
spin it forever and no course can be selected. To/from switch positions
still work , and show course. Then, this morning on the ILS into SNS,
the GS showed dead-center no matter where I was,
no flag, with the "I" illuminated. I'm wondering if the high humidity we
have experienced lately has mucked up the works, or if it's time for
repairs. Any Terra owners having similar problems? Anyone know a good
Avionics shop in the Central Coast/ Sacramento Area that's familiar
with Terra stuff?

Cy,
I would (and we should) have a real problem with a DAR who is arbitrarily
imposing FARs into limitations, particularly FARs that specficially exempt
EXPs. As you know this is very contrary to the orders and circulars that are
available on the subject. And a DAR is only such because the FAA invites
them to be such. Therefore if they are going to deviate that far from the
norm, so as to impose Part 23 specifications they better be able to argue it
well, as any of us has recourse with the MIDO or FSDO station manager on the
subject of abberrant DAR behaviour.
The "example" limitations are very well defined these days, so deviations
should really need clear, objective, logical justification or that DAR is
not acting responsibly. If you feel a DAR has been excessive in the
limitations, go talk to his PI or the Station manager. On the other hand if
a known good DAR throws a lot of odd limitations at you, such as Phase one
indefinately, maybe its his way of politely saying "Start over - but this
time ask for help, or stick with boats and take swimming lessons"

Good question so I removed the dna notation. The best method I've found is
to use a standard set of pliers and grab the side electrode firmly from the
back, gripping it on each side. Squeeze hard and lever it back and away from
the electrode. It has worked for me and will not mar the side electrode if
you grip hard enough. Don't touch the center electrode during this process
or you'll break the insulator.

yeah,
I have to chirp up and jump in on this one, Vans has usually been very good
about taking your money and getting a product to you in a reasonable time,
although I do have to admit they have some silly business practices with
respect to corporate business dealings.
On the other hand, don't be too disappointed if they don't hear a word you
say when you point out that one of their products flat assed doesn't work.
Amp gauges come to mind as a relatively recent example for those of you
gearing up to trash me.

| Subject: | Garmin 430/530 help needed |
--> RV-List message posted by: Laird Owens <owens@aerovironment.com>
Ok, so I got my instrument ticket last year, then I upgraded the RV
with a Garmin 430 later in the year. The 430 is the only radio I have
in the airplane.
Now I'm trying to get deeper into the inner workings of my 430
(uh...my head hurts), and had been doing ok until I ran into this
problem.
This situation came up on while planning a flight an established TEC
route in the LA area.
The route is VNY, V186, V363, then V363 joins V23 at KRAUZ
It looks something like this (hopefully this comes out right):
POM
|
VNY V186 | PZD
___________________________________
|
|
|
|V363
|
|
| KRAUZ
There is no intersection shown on the low altitude enoute chart
between V186 and V363.
So, while trying to program the flight plan in the 430, I can
establish a route from VNY to PZD, but I can't figure out how to get
the flight plan to accept the non labled intersecion to get
established on V363.
One cheater way would be to try to get the lat/long of the
intersection off of the map and input it as a user waypoint.
The other would be to avoid using the flight plan and fly the GPS
direct track from VNY to PZD and use the VOR dialed up on POM and fly
the intercept. But that really defeats the purpose of the flight
plan.
I hoping there is a way to get it in the flight plan with out having
to create a user waypoint. That might be ok on the ground, but a
single pilot IFR route change inflight might be a challange (or am I
just being a wussy?)
Any help out there from someone REALLY familiar with the Garmin
radios would be greatly appreciated.

Marvel Scheb carbs rebuild kits are about the same cost as having it
exchanged. If you have a few specific parts you need order them from Chief
or ACS instead.
If it leaks due to auto gas, be aware that the MTBE in autogas can attack
some rubber components and distort them some, such as the rubber tip on the
needle valve. But this can fix itself with a return to 100ll, or it may leak
worse.
If the float drowned/disentegrated replace it with brass one, and make sure
you comply with single peice venturi AD as well.

With the Dynon (there is no such as VFR or IFR Dynon) and the Garmin 196
you are fully ready for VFR. You have no use for the other stuff, no VOR
equipment needed, certainly no glide slope! INS422? Inertial
nav? No. IK2000 - I don't know what is but you don't need it in VFR.
Get your IFR ticket if you think you might go into IMC. Good VFR pilots
don't get "into the soup" - ever. Forget it. Learn to avoid IMC and make
a pact with yourself that you will never risk getting into it while
VFR. Your panel of gizmos won't save you if you aren't competent and if
you aren't instrument rated the odds are you aren't competent. I have
flown with instrument rated pilots who were not competent because they were
out of practice. Flying in IMC isn't a cakewalk with the skill and without
it is usually deadly. If you go into the clouds in an RV I'd be willing to
be you'd lose control in less than a minute and break up in another!
A simple autopilot would be nice, much preferred to an INS. The Trio
Avionics product has a feature where you touch a button and it does a
180. Push the button when you see bad WX ahead.
Keep the rules for visibility and cloud distance in mind for safety,
legality and concern for other legal flyers who you might meet if you "get
into the soup".

Laird, one thing you can always do in the air (on the Nav 2 page) is to move
the cursor to a point, and hit direct to. It will label the spot as "map 1",
and then you can fly to it, or put it in your plan.
In general, you get lots more choices by using the 'menu' key too. I haven't
tried it, but I would put the cursor on a spot, then hit menu and see if it
will let you enter it directly into the flight plan.
Maybe I should say, to move the cursor on the nav 2 page, push the button
(lower right), then scroll using the outside knob for left and right, and
the inside knob for up and down (or is it visa versa).
Ha, good luck, John Huft

I have had best results using needle nose pliers with a right angle to their
jaws. These are the best tools to use to keep away from the ceramic middle.
I think you will be pleased with the 37BYs.
My continuing problem with the Rose "system" is that the rubber washers used
in the connectors to the plug seem to disintegrate each time I change plugs.
Any one find a better washer or method? Jeff has come out with some new
tougher ones but they turned to mush on me at 100 hours.

The question is not addressed to me but I will chime in: I switched because
Jeff now recommends the 37BYs. He used to favor the auto plugs. The
advantage from my standpoint is that they are more rugged. I use them on
both my Rose system and on my magneto plugs, but with different gaps.

The float is now back to plastic on the 4th go round. The only illegal
float is the original metal float. The plastic float that was the ADed
replacement does sink but is still legal as it takes a while to sink. The
New "improved" metal float is very expensive and there is a new plastic
float that is not supposed to sink.
The Two-piece venturi is still legal as long as it isn't deformed or loose.
The AD was revised.

Ditto. After having several LONG discussions with Jeff on this matter almost
a year ago, I found out from Jeff that he in fact was one of the early
"pioneers" (my choice of words) in the use of automotive plugs in Lycomings.
He used to even mill/grind (whatever) them to make them fit better. He said
that after some technical dialog with Lycoming, he came to understand how a
plug with the characteristics of the REM37BYs would lead to a better burn
than the "386's" (automotive) that he suggests if you really want
automotive.
For a variety of reasons, {see old thread on vibrations ....search using
"all shook up"} I actually took OUT the 37BYs we had in our O-320 and put in
some automotives. I think that I could feel (subjectively) LESS performance
just as he had indicated. The 37BYs went back in.

We also got a set of the new ones and they are in fact better. But you are
correct, this in my mind is the weakest part of Jeff's otherwise fine system
(from a fine person with fine support).
It would seem that some enterprising soul with the skills would make a set
of "wires" that would work. Male automotive style plug on the end for the EI
and screw on caps for the plug side. BUT(!!!) Handle 85,000 volts ... sparks
will leap to metal caps so the problem is containment OR making the caps
from a non conductive material and mating this to very high performance
(automotive racing??) wires.
I know I'd buy a set and so would probably every user of the Jeff Rose
System.

I found water was leaking in thru the floor ribs, folling the belly skin that
extends beyond the fuselage and overlaps the bottom of the wing. I saw
dramatic reduction in leakage by putting silicone sealant around the
intersection of the fuselage exterior and belly skin extension.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Pat Hatch" <pat_hatch@msn.com>
Laird, I am not familiar with the 430, but the way it works on other RNAVs
is to define the intersection by two radials, in this case the radials are
the airways. It might look something like this: VNY009/BNA270; you will
probably have to name the intersection. Look for the page in the manual on
creating waypoints. I will send this message if I don't see any other
responses that are more specific. I have received clearances that are just
what you described: "cleared V186 until intercepting V363, V363 to..."
Makes for a busy cockpit when they do this.
Hope this helps.

| Subject: | Can UHMW plastic block be painted? |
--> RV-List message posted by: "thomas a. sargent" <sarg314@earthlink.net>
I was just mounting the UHMW block for the canopy handle in my tip-up
canopy and noticed how the white plastic stands out againt the paint
I've chosen for the interior. Has any one tried painting the UHMW? My
guess is nothing would stick to it.

Laird,
It's too cold in the garage to fire my avionics up right now, but I
think there is a way to do what you want. I'm pretty sure you can
use two VORs and the radials off those VORs to define the position of
a user waypoint, which you would then put in your flight plan. There
are a whole bunch of different fields on the page where you create
the user waypoint. You should be able to just fill in enough info to
uniquely define a position, and the other fields will be calculated.
I'm going to heat my garage up tomorrow so I can do some work. I'll
try this out and report back.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Dan Checkoway" <dan@rvproject.com>
Tom,
The RV-7 finish kit came with black UHMW. Dunno if that's more appealing to
you, but if so you could probably order the -7 part from Van's (assuming
it's a different part #).
One caveat is that one time I ordered some extra UHMW chunks from
Van's...using the same part # from a white slab...and they shipped me black.
Color wasn't important in that case, but I was still surprised. In any
case, be aware that they may interchange the colors unless you ask 'em for a
specific one.
In case you want to roll your own, McMaster Carr (http://www.mcmaster.com)
also appears to sell UHMW/polyethylene in bar form. I'm pretty sure they
sell it in black, blue, white, or gray.
Best of luck,
