Sam Buchanan's RV-6 site is my reference for construction photos. IMO an
invaluable resource for this non pre-punch kit.

Jim/All, I installed my Flighttech 402-P ENRI intercom in my RV-8A and flew
yesterday for about 2 1/2 hours. The built-in intercom with my Microair 760
radio was just too noisy for my taste, but this baby (402-P) performs as
advertised. Very crisp, clear communications between me and my passenger. As pointed
out by someone else, there is a sort of "swishing" discernable in the
background, but turning down the volume a tad seems to cure that problem. I'm a
happy
camper!

Hopefully ending the debate on whether the photo is real or not...
Here's testimony from the photographer himself... I can't see anything
unbelievable in his testimony.
-----
I have noticed all over the internet the shot I had taken of the
Thunderbird crash at Mountain Home AFB, ID and though I am not at
liberty to share the photo; it is out there. I would like to end some
speculation and let you know the photo is real.
I'm a Still Photographer for the USAF and I was stationed at MHAFB
during the air show. I was on the catwalk of the tower at Mtn Home along
with another photog (video) and about seven other (military) spectators.
I have shot the T-birds from the tower before and I was pretty excited
to do it again (the sky was perfect blue). I followed Thunderbird 6 from
takeoff and watched as he pulled into his maneuver. I then noticed
something seemed to be wrong, his direction was a little off; he was
pulling out and heading right towards the tower. At this point I figured
two things: 1. He's either going to fly past this tower and we'll feel
the heat or 2. This is going to be ugly... I waited for the aircraft to
level and clicked the shutter, what I saw through the lens will never go
away...
At the same time as I shot I seen a flash of light and horrific sound. I
was shooting on high speed continuous and the next couple frames were a
ball of fire and my feet, right before I ran. We all ran to the other
side of the tower, I tried to get everyone in along with my partner and
finally made it in myself. By the time we got inside the 16 had stopped
sliding and rested about 100 ft in front of the tower. I then continued
documenting the work of our base firefighters as they put out the
flames. It was an experience and though I can't officially make any
comments to the matter, I would like to say Capt Stricklin saved
lives... enough said.
For those who are wondering the image is not cleared for public release.
Also for those fellow photogs I was shooting with a D1x with a 300mm,
2.8 @ 1000 and 2000
Thanks,
SSgt Bennie J. Davis III
Still Photographer, USAF

i haven't read any of this previous email thread - avoided it on purposes
but curiosity got to me. excuse me if someone has already stated the
obvious.
anyone who's flown tail dragger RC plane should know this after a while.
Toe in is the worst situation. Even just a minor amount of toe in will be
unstable/unuseable. The plane will want to slow down quickly, the tendency
is for the tires and landing gear itself if flimsly enough to turn inwards
towards each other to the point where the plane will nose over.
Toe out isn't desireable either but it takes a lot more of it on a typical
RC plane to be noticeable/intolerable.

I've been watching the progress on this.
There will be 3 levels of weather - Aviation, Marine &
Emergency Response - all offering different aspects of
weather reporting.
What we are interested in is XM WX Aviator, which has
a subscription price of $49.99/mo and a one time $75
activation fee. Yes - thats fifty bucks a month. Way
too pricey for me, but would be very handy for those
who cross country every week.
XM WX Aviator will supply the following data:
*Nexrad Radar (High Resolution)
*Nexrad Radar status
*Storm Cell Attributes
*METARs
*TAFs
*County Warnings
*City Forcasts
*Surface Analysis
*Lightning
*SIGMETs
*AIRMETs
*Storm (echo) Tops
*Winds Aloft (at altitude)

Well then I stand corrected. Can a serviceman get the
Pulitzer? To bad he can't get royalties.
FWIW, the camera he mentions is $4k (base) and the
lens is $4k (discounted and after rebate). That's
some really fast glass. Not too many of us civilians
can afford that kind of gear.
The only discrepancy I see is that he mentions 1000
and 2000. Don't know if one of those is the ASA
equivalency he was using (one or both are shutter
speeds), but the D1x spec only shows up to 800 ASA. A
nit in an otherwise believable account.
Now, I had a question about primer....just kidding.

I'm looking at the plans for installing the Wd-657 steps and it mentions using
a fluted cutter to make the hole through the fuselage and baggage floor ribs.
Anyone know who sells one of these? I didn't see one at Aircraft Spruce.

Remember too the FAA is working on something like this,
FIS-B, part of the ADS-B stuff. It is available already
in many areas, it will be without a monthly charge.

Karie,
If you have a Dremel Tool or similar you can buy a fluted cutter at Home
Depot that works great. I think it is about $8.

I post this message as a heads up regarding a warranty issue that I just ran
into. A little over two years ago I purchased two heated pitot heads,
AN5812, and brackets from Warren Gretz. I installed one of them last year
on one plane with no problems. I just installed the other one on my current
project and right out of the box the heater element was defective. I called
Mr. Gretz and he stated that he no longer dealt with the company that
supplies the units and that I should call the company. I called the
company, Aero Instrument Co. of Cleveland Ohio, and they stated that their
warranty is for one year from time of purchase and that they would not do
anything for us and that I should call Mr. Gretz! I asked if they would
check the unit to see if it was a manufacturing error and they refused to
even look at it!!. As I understand the situation they are the only supplier
of these heated pitot heads, the cost of which, in ACS is $300.
I bring this to your attention so that you can check your parts
shelf and test these units. I am most unhappy with the level of customer
service of both Mr Gretz and the supplier of the pitot heads, Areo
Instruments. I sincerely wish that there was an alternative and if someone
knows of one I would appreciate a contact phone number.

--> RV-List message posted by: Jason Sneed <n242ds@cox.net>
Anyone have a site that predicts IFR VFR conditions for the next 24
hours or so? I have a good map of current airport conditions just
looking for future conditions from now. I know any future conditions
would only be predictions.
Thanks,
Jason Sneed

Click on "TAFs", and at the bottom of the page you can customize your
location/radius. It gives you decoded, color-coded TAFs and also a
VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR designation for each time period.
Hope this helps,

| Subject: | Gretz pitot tubes |
--> RV-List message posted by: "K Sebok" <ksebok@chinita.com>
I can't vouch for customer service issues at either company, but I came to
find about 2 months back that the price of the AN5812 pitot tube has
skyrocketed- to approx. $800! I spoke to Spruce, Wicks, and several others,
looking for a better deal, to no avail. Apparently, Aero Instrument Co.,
which has been manufacturing the tubes for decades (since at least 1960),
was sold to a larger corporation, which dictated the increase in price (this
came from a conversation w/ an Aero Instrument Co. employee). $300 for a
new AN5812 would now be a bargain!
I don't have a need for a heated tube for my F-1, and ended up finding 2
locally that are military surplus- but both had a 115 volt power
requirement. I put mine on my Rocket; it fit fine w/ the Gretz mount. If
any one wants the other tube for my cost- $120- give me a call at
561-373-1595. The available tube is unused, in the box, factory sealed in a
foil bag, with instructions.

I post this message as a heads up regarding a warranty issue that I just ran
into. A little over two years ago I purchased two heated pitot heads,
AN5812, and brackets from Warren Gretz. I installed one of them last year
on one plane with no problems. I just installed the other one on my current
project and right out of the box the heater element was defective. I called
Mr. Gretz and he stated that he no longer dealt with the company that
supplies the units and that I should call the company. I called the
company, Aero Instrument Co. of Cleveland Ohio, and they stated that their
warranty is for one year from time of purchase and that they would not do
anything for us and that I should call Mr. Gretz! I asked if they would
check the unit to see if it was a manufacturing error and they refused to
even look at it!!. As I understand the situation they are the only supplier
of these heated pitot heads, the cost of which, in ACS is $300.

I wasn't aware it's the same thing as a unibit. Too bad, it's an 1 1/2 inch
hole, that's a pricey unibit.

Karie
For the 1 1/2 inch holes in the side skins, I used a B & D hole saw after
using a unibit to bring the pilot holes in the skins up to the same size as
the pilot drill in the hole saw. Locating the holes through the baggage
ribs and forming the step flanges to match the fuselage was mostly trial and
error. I did have to elongate the holes that I made in the baggage ribs
with a dremel tool to get final clearance for the tubes.

Does anyone know if I can get one of the alignment dowels that index the
prop/crank from someone other than the supplier ? I have a Hartzell and
a O-320B3B. ACS does not show any for this combo and I have looked at a
few other sources with "no cigar"! If I have to I will go to Hartzell
but would rather find a dealer or even possibly a good used one.

IIRC, the 20 is a 30 minus the alt hold features......
I have a thirty......although mine is set up for GPSS to a NSD1000 HSI -
shouldn't matter for what you need though.
Contact me directly, I have a scanner at work...the sheets are big so you
might end up with four to a sheet or so......

I used a regular hole saw, like you cut holes in wooden doors with. I
was worried a little but it worked great. I think I have pictures on my
site, should be on the first or second fuselage page.
