The non skid on my RV-6 started coming loose so I decided to pull it
off and install some new non-skid. In doing so the non-skid ripped off
the paint that was under the non-skid. I was going to just get new
non-skid and stick it to the aluminum but I would like to get some
advise on the following:
1. Should I paint the aluminum before I put new non-skid on?
2. If so what is the best paint to use and do I need to prep the
aluminum?
3. What is the best type on non-skid to use and where do I get it?
I would like to apply the new non-skid and not go through this process
every 150 hours if there is a better way to apply the nonskid, or a
better non-skid.
Thank you very much for the help!
Jason

--> RV-List message posted by: "Jeff Dowling" <shempdowling@earthlink.net>
Now that I have some time on my eis, Im wondering if those of you who use this
for cht/egt can help with some questions.
I havent changed the factory defaults yet and keep getting temp problem warnings.
The manual says to find your normal highs and lows, then add/subtract 40.
Were still tinkering with the engine so I dont know yet if Im getting a true
high and low. The most common problem coming up is a temp difference fault.
Im getting a spread of 100 degrees on no.3 and no.4 egt at cruise settings while
the chts are only 20 apart. I plan on swapping probes before I adjust anything.

I think the problem may be in the format of the signal. The GPS may be
putting out NMEA format which is different from the 'aviation' format.
Check out http://www.porcine.com/ for a coupler ...... that will convert
the 'boat' format to 'aviation'.

Jeff, the Navaid is designed to capture the analog deviation signals that
come from a VOR receiver. Some high end GPS receivers (panel mount) provide
such a signal, but most "GPS" autopilots use the digital data that is output
on the NMEA 0180 or AVLINK data port of the receiver.
Porcine does make a "Smart Coupler" that can be used in conjunction with the
Navaid to convert the GPS data to an analog signal.
Another solution would be to upgrade your Navaid with an EZ Pilot autopilot
at http://www.trioavionics.com - it will work with your existing Navaid
servo (cost savings), and it provides a whole lot more capability.

SNIP I'm a Check Corp seat heater dealer, I have them in my RV6. Let me know the
dimensions of your seat and I can get you whatever you need. The single temp
units are $65.00 each and the dual temp units are $95.00 plus shipping.
Contact me off list.
Larry Gagnon
RV6 N6LG O-360/Sensenich SNIP
I wouldn't recommend the single temp models.
The premium units have the definite advantage of NOT turning themselves on when
you flip the master on. You must push the button each time you want them turned
on as the digital control resets to OFF.
Now, whether you think it's a good idea to have a seat turned on when nobody's
butt is in it is up to you. Personally, I'd rather have someone in the seat absorbing
the heat as designed for.
The dual temp units are about $95 as Larry mentioned. The 3 temp premium model
sells for about $150 and is well worth it.

Jeff:
I am in the furniture manufacturing business. My company does a lot of
leather business. I am producing seats right now for friends but will soon launch
the business of aircraft seats.
I can help you with leather. We stock about 350 leathers but I am using only
one pattern for my RV seats ... very durable and has about 55 colors to
choose from.
Let me know if you are interested. I will send you some samples.

Jason,
If it were me, I would scotchbrite it real well, clean, mask, hit it with an
epoxy primer (PPG DPLF or Dupont Corlar, for example), then apply the
non-skid from Ray Allen, the trim servo people. Their non-skid has worked
great for me. I'll bet you'll get some other ideas.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Stewart, Michael (ISS Atlanta)" <mstewart@iss.net>
It depends on which coupler you have. If you have the smart coupler
built in, and this was an add on feature, you need a switch to activate
either your Nav signal or your gps signal. Navaid provided this with the
unit when the smart coupler was installed. Chances are you do not have
the gps feature built in in which case you can order the smart coupler
as an external add on from them.

If I am understanding you guys correctly, the defroster is only needed on

Because wiping your plastic windows with anything will scratch it.

Hi Vince,
The only downside to your suggestion that I can imagine is the increased
likelyhood of eventually marring and or hazing the Plexi.

Squeezer, two yokes, and a bunch of sets. Looks like a very good deal at
$189.

I like the looks of your 12 volt power supply socket. Could you tell me what

The connector for the fan is a .062" pin Molex. You can get them at Digikey,
Mouser, and possibly Radio Shack.

I don't have WX (Arizona), but Anywhere Map and AI on a PDA has to be seen to be

from their website almost hourly... plus all the approach plates for the Western
Hemisphere (oh yes... not recommended for actual IFR) accurate to a couple feet

$2,000. Oh yes the WX included with AWM/GPS and AI whole package software and

Wiping, even if it doesn't scratch the plexi, simply doesn't work for
frost when it is cold. In fact, trying to wipe frost off usually makes
things worse, as it creates many more nucleation sites on the surface.
The result is usually poorer visibility than before. Either a fan of
some sort or keeping the canopy cracked open on the ground is necessary
when the temps are at or below say 10F. One has time to study these
things in MN winters.

Jeff, do you have fuel injection or a carburetor? For a carb, 100+ degrees
difference on EGT is quite normal. My spread is somewhere around 150 I
think. And a twenty degree difference on CHT is pretty good. I wish I could
get mine that close.
The EIS is a great unit, but it monitors so many things that it can be
overwhelming at first, and sometimes a pain in the butt until you get all
the alarm limits set the way you want them. Set them wherever necessary to
accomodate YOUR airplane and engine characteristics. Remember, you're only
legally required to have Oil Pressure and Oil Temperature gauges.
I set my limits high on things like EGT spread, specifically to avoid alarms
while I get used to the airplane. As I gain more experience with the engine
I figure I'll tighten up these settings.

The installation manual for the SL 50 (available on the Garmin web site
http://www.garminat.com/down_doc.shtml shows that a +/- 150 mv deviation
signal is available from the unit. I'd guess that should work with the
Navaid.

Up where we have winter the defroster is used to prevent & eliminate frost -
actual frozen hard stuff that forms on the canopy. It don't wipe off worth a
darn. You can scrape it off with a credit card but that is even harder on
the canopy than wiping.
I WISH my windshield only had some fogging that I could wipe off with a
towel. Maybe by April :-)

Hi Jeff
Your SL-50 will put out both analog and digital signal, it will drive a
standard VOR indicator plus the Navaid autopilot plus send data for a
(remote) moving map display, great unit!

I once owned a VW Beetle and a nifty little device I purchased at K Mart
worked great for removing frost from the windows .It was a small blow
dryer(looked like a mini hair dryer) that plugged into the cigarette
lighter. If someone still makes them this would be a great item to keep in
the cockpit for emergency situations in the cold climates.It actually got
hot enough to melt ice on the windshield rather quickly.

If you set your altimeter to read 0ft when on the ramp, then from then
on all heights displayed on it will be AGL (so long as you are operating
above that airfield).
IIRC, the British used to do this (maybe they still do) and there is a
QN-something (QNV ???) code for it.

I have two 4 inch fans for windshield defog in my RV-6A that take air from the
footwell. This past September, on a flight from Gillette, WY, in a driving rain,
my canopy fogged up inside before takeoff and as soon as I wiped it off, it
fogged up again. I could see well enough to take off IFR and went into the
soup at 300 feet AGL. It took almost two hours before the canopy was clear inside
even though I had the cabin heat on full hot and the fans running. It was
not a problem because I didn't see the ground until 600 feet on final approach
at Sioux Falls, SD. I am building a 7A (my third RV) and am putting a second
heat muff on the other exhaust and routing the air from that to two 3 inch
vents pointed at the windshield. I want some real heat to defog the windshield.
