Today, with widely available internet access, it would
be pretty easy to collect this data. I have a feeling,
perhaps wrong, that the "alphabets" don't want to,
since they fear the feds will then mandate it.
I agree with you that it would be good information, and
would help validate the EAA's laudable efforts to help
us become a safer group.
Seems like entering a tail number and a number of hours
flown at each annual would not be too onerous, but it's the
side effects that you have to watch out for.

Mike,
The lower cowl should be fitted and in place when you set this floor angle.
The floor should just rest below the cowl lip (see page 4 - part 2, Van's
baffle instructions). This is so that when you later rivet the airseal
fabric to the front lip of the cowl, it can be supported by the baffle
floor, part #2. I'll post some pictures on my web site and let you know
when they are up. Also, be aware that part 13 is drawn incorrectly, the
bolt hole should be oriented forward, not to the rear as shown.

My crankshaft flange did not have holes in it. I pressed out one of the
prop bushings to drill the holes in the crankcase bosses. This was done
to install a Lightspeed electronic ignition. The Lightspeed instructions
said if the engine had a seal retainer plate to just replace it with the
Lightspeed pick-up mounting plate (mine did not). By installing the
Lightspeed I got a seal retainer as a bonus. If you just wanted to
install a seal retainer, you could use the Lightspeed instructions, and
I think they're available on their website.

Listers,
I just got off the phone with Robbie concerning his Stainless
Wheel Pant Brackets. His original manufacturer has gone out of
business, and he is actively looking for another vendor. He
does expect the price to go up with the new vendor (probably
in the $90.00 range). He does expect to have inventory in a
couple of weeks......

Boy, what a bunch of math wizards,
Although the dialog was interesting the point was to go thank a friend of
aviation who is working on our behalf to combat the sensationalist garbage
the corporate and political slimeballs such as CBS and the completely
dishonorable Dickwad Daley keep regurgetating.
Hopefully we can all find some time today to do this.

I have been following the rotary engine discussion with interest. The only

system... I'm probably looking in the wrong place, but I can't find the
intake system you reference on the above web site. (or another that doesn't

| Subject: | Electric horizons. |
--> RV-List message posted by: jakent@unison.ie
Any RV builder considering the all electric option will need an economical electric
horizon and other goodies. I have just bought a very fine system consisting
of a Ferranti Mk 14 horizon which has push-button fast erection and crucially
an 8 degree panel tilt setting, plus an inverter to provide the 400Hz/115V
electron fodder for the horizon with high quality harness also included.
The inverter is extremely high quality, designed and built by the supplier Chris
Quayle in Oxford, U.K. It is light wth fan cooling and has auxilliary 24V dc
output that will drive an electric turn & slip which is also available. The
horizon orginally cost the M.O.D. about $20K and is in very good condition, 8
degrees tilt as released by M.O.D., hermetically sealed, and bench tested for
two days before delivery.
It has A.T.I.-3 mounting and while it is a bit heavier and longer than a vacuum
horizon, the overall package is lighter than a full vacuum system.
The bad news is that it is not cheap (in any sense) but still a lot cheaper than
any of the off the shelf electrics or a full vacuum set up.
Chris has a number of horizons which he is releasing to e-Bay as he builds the
systems (e-Bay handle is "Adtempus" - also has other tasty goodies on sale)
He can also be contacted directly and is good to do business with - personal opinion
- I have no connection with the business except as a customer.
Your mileage may vary !! Worth a look ??

P.S. on a related subject, I have another inverter, also fine quality, different
maker which is now for sale. J.K.

Now and then listers mention a particularly good service/product they

aluminum welder...low price, excellent workmanship, fussy about details, and
likes aircraft work.
His name is Dean Huss, phone (719) 942-4774. ...he lives in a small town
named Howard, Colorado, 81233.
Local builders (RV's, Peitenpols, Pulsars, etc) have used him and all seem
very pleased.

| Subject: | Magnetic compass |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Ken Simmons" <ken@truckstop.com>
Sorry for what may be a stupid question, but I figured I would go
ahead and get it out of the way.
I know FAR 91.205 requires a magnetic compass, but how is this
usually interpreted? Does this mean it has to be a mechanical
vertical card compass or a whiskey compass?
The reason I'm asking is I plan on using a microEncoder with an
external compass sensor. I'm also considering the Dynon, which also
has a heading indicator. It's my understanding that both of these
give a magnetic heading. They are just electronic sensors and
therefore require power to function.
My panel is strictly VFR so no DG is required. The microEncoder would
be a backup to the Dynon and would also provide alerts that the Dynon
doesn't have (yet).
With a properly designed electrical system I don't see any reason to
have any mechanical backups (i.e. compass,airspeed,altimeter).
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Ken.

I have designed an inexpensive, lightweight, 400 Hz, 208/120 volt
inverter just so I could use these instruments. I think I can put together
a kit for something like $120 each. If anyone is interested, please let me
know and perhaps I will offer a kit. If there is enough interest, perhaps I
could make assembled units.

There are three similar set-ups like this on Ebay at the moment:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2989952953
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=246337448
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2463374476
400 Hz instruments tend to go pretty cheap on Ebay. This is
especially true for 3 phase, 208/120 volt, 400 Hz instruments. For example,
I bought a J-8 artificial horizon for $9.99 plus $6 S&H. You can get 400 Hz
instruments very cheaply on Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2227603926
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2463418261
I have seen ultra nice HSI's and artificial horizon's go for less
than $200 on Ebay. You have to be careful not to get vintage boat anchors,
of course. :
) Even so, you can buy 3 bargain instruments on Ebay and still
come out ahead if only one of them is a winner.

I am getting ready to order the wing kit and the wife says "Why not build the four
place, then we can take other people for rides too". Well, after discussing
the financial implications, it was decided to build the RV-10. So that leaves
me with a completed, ready to be prep'ed for painting, RV-8 emp.
I would like to find a new home for it. Asking $1650 (Firm). Save the time of
building the tail feathers and order the quickbuild parts to finish it up. The
fiberglass tips are on. All interior parts are primed (Zinc Oxide). I will
crate it for shipping (in the US), buyer pays for shipping.
Please reply off list. I have pictures.
Thanks, Jim Combs
Do not archive!
Ordered the RV-10 emp and wings today!

How do the vans fuel gages work. They have calibrated marks for 2.5
gallons, 5 gal., 10 gal, and 15 gal. It looks like if the need went clear
around and hit the post again it would be at 20 gallons. Is this really how
it works? Seems a little dangerous to have either full on no fuel in the
same location.

No there is a stop. When full the needle sits 1/2" or so beyond the 15 Gal
mark.
They work great. The accuracy depends on how you have bent the float. It
easy to make sure its accurate. Just hook up the power to the sender and
fuel gauge and make sure it reads correctly. If not adjust the bend. The
suggested drawing that shows the bent float is a good start.

Vans fuel gauges work very well and are warranted by Vans for 5 years from
date of purchase, don't know of any other company that has that long a
warranty.
Anyway the gauge just goes to 15 when the tank is full. All Vans gauges work
the same, 8 o'clock to 4 o'clock for low to high readings.
Due to wing dihedral the gauges (on my 6A) reads full until there is almost
an hour burn out of the tank and tank is down to about 12 gal. So at high
fuel levels the gauges are not accurate and must not to be used to establish
that tanks are full. At lower readings (7 gal. & below) my gauges are dead
on.
Gauges should be calibrated the first time tanks are filled by adding a bit
of fuel then stopping and making note of gauge readings.

Listers:
How do the vans fuel gages work. They have calibrated marks for 2.5
gallons, 5 gal., 10 gal, and 15 gal. It looks like if the need went clear
around and hit the post again it would be at 20 gallons. Is this really how
it works? Seems a little dangerous to have either full on no fuel in the
same location.
Thanks,
Ross

I leveled my RV-4 and put in 5 gal. of fuel. I then marked the gauge rim
with a dot of paint. I then did the same with 10 and 15 gal. marks. That shows
me where my fuel supply is in level flight.
My opinion only.

You are right - it would be a good investment to take the Lycoming course.
There are special tools/fixtures you will have to have . I was able to build my
plate to press the case halves apart and back together but you HAVE to have
this fixture. I once saw an old A&P / IA ?? drive a chisle between the case
halves to seperate them. Sure ruined a n O-540 set of cases !!

My question is, what are the problems that people are having with the
stock brackets Van sells?
I have not had any problems with them nor have I heard of any problems
here locally.

Why would would you want to purchase Stainless Steel Wheel pant Brackets for
$90 when the Aluminum ones that Van's supplies with the Two Piece Wheel
pants do not have any problems? Do they weight less? They sure do not
need to be any stronger than the one's Van supplied me as mine have held up
very well.

Listers,
I just got off the phone with Robbie concerning his Stainless
Wheel Pant Brackets. His original manufacturer has gone out of
business, and he is actively looking for another vendor. He
does expect the price to go up with the new vendor (probably
in the $90.00 range). He does expect to have inventory in a
couple of weeks......
You can get in touch with him at email robbie@attawayair.com.
His web site is http://www.attawayair.com/rv6_products.htm .

I can't speak about the newer kits, but I had to replace a broken
bracket on my ('92 completion date) -4 at around 400 hours.
