    From: "Dennis Parker" <dennis@k2workflow.com>
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Dennis Parker" <dennis@k2workflow.com> Aside from the obvious issue of ground clearance - does anyone have any comments on lengths of propellers? I am thinking of ordering the blended airfoil Hartzell CS for my RV7. This can be ordered in a 72" or 74" configuration? Are there performance benefits / penalties to take into account around length? Thanks Dennis Parker 71041

    Subject: Electric Horizons (again)
    --> RV-List message posted by: jakent@unison.ie I started on the electric route by buying a Bendix J-8 on e-Bay - ran very well - cleaned up nice. Bought one of Andy Wright's inverters to drive it. Result - a good horizon system under $200= Also bought a second ($10=) J-8 for spares - this WAS a boat anchor !! For a RV ... DO NOT GO THIS ROUTE ... the J-8 cannot be adjusted for 8 degrees tilt - my friends in a gyro shop have tried - it doesn't work! The Ferranti I ended up with is a VERY different beast - is good quality and looks it as well ! I did not want to go the PDA / loose objects in the cockpit route as I feel that the occasional urge to look DOWN through the RV-4 canopy may be too tempting !! Bottom line - if anyone wants a horizon and inverter for something other than a RV I will sell for about $200= or the inverter only for a bit less - it is light and will drive any of the 3-phase 400/115 gyros.

There are a few fundamentals to consider: a longer prop will make slightly more noise and have slightly more drag since it has more area. Balancing that is that it will product more thrust and that thrust will be further away from the fuselage where it does more good. Having done some prop testing I can tell you that whatever difference might manifest itself between the same prop in the 72" and 74" lengths would be small. Even the true experts would debate the question you're asking without a likely concensus. Still, if I were buying a Hartzell, I'd go with the 74" if performance were most important. If quiet were most important I'd go with the 72". Just curious though, have you looked at the Whirl Wind 200RV? I guess that's hard to do since it isn't up on their web site yet, but as far as I'm concerned it's the ultimate prop solution for an RV, albeit $2k more than the Hartzell. My experience with it can be found at... http://www.rv-8.com/Prop.htm Randy Lervold RV-8, 368 hrs EAA Technical Counselor www.rv-8.com

    --> RV-List message posted by: kempthornes <kempthornes@earthlink.net> It may take a year or two but I'll bet that spinning gyro instruments will come down in price like ADFs. AHRS gyros (Dynon, Blue Mtn etc) are said to be ten times more reliable than the old stuff. They will get much cheaper with time. There will be big piles of spinning gyros available, mostly ready to be overhauled since that is likely when the decision will be made to upgrade. K. H.

    Subject: FW: Proposed FAA rule
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Will & Lynda Allen" <linenwool@comcast.net> I'm just sending this out in case there is anyone who wants to have their say on this before the FAA makes this change. I don't know if this would effect the young eagles program but it will certainly put a stop to a lot of good EAA programs for rides in antique aircraft and may even put an end to the budgets that allow these aircraft to be restored. -Will Allen North Bend, Wa RV8 wings -----Original Message----- From: Tony Caruso [mailto:t-caruso@msn.com] Subject: Proposed FAA rule FYI From: Aviation Foundation of America, Courtesy of Fly-ins.com A few weeks ago we sent you an e-mail about a proposed FAA rule. This new rule will effectively eliminate the opportunity for Americans to purchase an airplane ride like those offered during the National Air Tour. This proposed rule is referred to as "NPRM-4521." While many aviation organizations have requested open public meetings on this subject, the FAA rejected this request, instead conducting an experimental "On Line Public Meeting" over the Internet. This "meeting" is going on now right now and will end Friday, March 5th. We are asking that you participate in this meeting by going to the "public meeting" web site (details below). This is a somewhat cumbersome process, but it is the only way the FAA is allowing you to participate in this "public meeting." The new proposed regulations will basically place operators offering airplane rides in the same category as commercial air carriers (Part 135). This is being done under the theory that people selling rides in open-cockpit bi-planes or Ford Tri-motors are really an airline! Preposterous as this sounds, this is exactly the FAA's position. As an example what follows this is a direct quote from one FAA response in the "FAA Response Section" on the "public meeting" web site: This is a direct quote from the FAA: FAA: "WHY DO WE WANT TO REGULATE YOU. Because you look like an airline. A passenger decides to go on an airplane (why doesn't matter). The airplane operator wants money (donations are money). The passenger is happy if part/all of that money goes to a good cause but wants to go on an airplane anyway. Airplane operator gives the passenger what the passenger paid for. What's different about you?.." Picture in your mind an open cockpit bi-plane giving a young child a ride. This is what the FAA says looks like an airline! Despite the fact that there are already regulations for Part 91 operators including commercial pilot qualifications, frequent aircraft inspections, pilot registration, etc., scenes like this could disappear from across America in a few short months. The folks from Waldo Wright's Flying service, who made so many people smile on the tour have written some of the commentary found in this link about the FAA's Notice of Proposed Rule Making found here: FAA <http://dms.dot.gov/search/searchResultsSimple.cfm?numberValue4521&searchTy pedocket> NPRM 4521 Comments. Presently people offering rides (called Part 91 operators) are able to take you for a ride, in their bi-plane or Ford tri-motor as an example, within 25 miles of your airport and bring you back. Do you think that is an airline? Apparently the FAA does, and they want to treat those rides as commercial air carriers. The FAA says Part 91 operators will be safer if they are made to comply with the onerous Part 135 Air Carrier regulations. This ignores the fact that their own statistics demonstrate Part 91 operators are already significantly SAFER than Part 135 operators. The problem is that the FAA refuses to distinguish between local rides in fixed wing airplanes and more dangerous operations such as helicopters flying over the ocean and mountains in Hawaii. There are two ways to post your thoughts and questions on this matter. If you have not already done so, one way is to post a comment on the NRPM-4521 site by clicking here: FAA <http://dms.dot.gov/search/searchResultsSimple.cfm?numberValue4521&searchTy pedocket> NPRM 4521 Comments. There are more that 1,500 comments so far. We also urge you to take part in the "On line Public Meeting" which is taking place now. Please click here or go to this site address: http://66.89.54.45/ <http://66.89.54.45/> , and click on "ENTER PUBLIC MEETING" at the bottom after reading the instructions. You will be able to post you thoughts, and more importantly, your questions about this proposed rule. We urge you to post comments and questions on the "Public Meeting" web site as soon as possible. Again, by simply clicking here: http://66.89.54.45/ On both of the sites mentioned above you can read the positions taken by thousands of citizens who are opposed to this proposed "one size fits all" FAA regulation. Unfortunately, despite flawed statistics and questionable logic, all the FAA has to do to make NPRM 4521 into law is to publish it in the Federal Register. There are not votes in congress and no public proceeding other than this "On Line Public Meeting." We urge you to read the comments posted so far and to participate in this "On Line Public Meeting," which, unfortunately is all the more democratic this process is going to get. Here at the Aviation Foundation of America, we have nothing at stake other than to try to preserve an important grassroots aviation experience. People offering airplane rides, whether in a Ford tri-motor, a bi-plane, or a Cessna at your local airport have introduced millions of Americans to the joys of flight. They deserve our help. Please get on line, ask your questions and make your statements. Thank you for your helping to save the airplane ride! Greg Herrick, President Aviation Foundation of America PS: Please forward this message to any of your friends who could help by sending a message to the FAA.

    --> RV-List message posted by: Mickey Coggins <mick-matronics@rv8.ch> Does anyone see a way to get a flop tube to work in a QB wing? At first I just thought it was a quick retrofit, but there seem to be some protective brackets needed inside to keep the flop tubes from getting hung up in there. Has anyone been able to make this work? Thanks, Mickey -- Mickey Coggins http://www.rv8.ch/ #82007 QB Wings/Fuselage

    Subject: Cowl Inlet Ramps
    Seal-Send-Time: Sat, 28 Feb 2004 16:08:15 -0600 --> RV-List message posted by: "Tommy Walker" <twsurveyor@msn.com> While installing the baffle seal on my 6A, I realized that the upper cowl inlet ramps present somewhat of a problem!? I don't know if I need to trim the baffle metal to match the ramp contour or the cowl contour. If I trim metal to the ramp contour and let the rubber seal follow the ramp it creates a huge air leak between the ramp and the cowl, which could be stopped by fiber glassing the inboard ends of the ramp to the cowl. If I elect to trim the metal to the cowl contour there will be a conflict between the rubber seal and the edge of the ramp. Those of you that have been down this road will know what I'm talking about. Question is how did you solve this problem on your baffle?? Any suggestions welcome! Tommy Walker 6A Ridgetop, TN

    Subject: Re: Flop tubes in QB wings
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Steve Struyk" <rv8striker@hotmail.com> Mickey, I put a flop tube in my left quick build tank. It's been awhile, but here's what I remember doing. You need to remove the tank from the wing, then move the fuel sender to the aft wall of the tank into the second bay, one rib outboard from where it is now. That involves cutting a new hole to mount it. Van's sells blank covers and mounting rings. The old mounting plate, with the sender, can be cleaned up (MEK works well) and put in the aft wall with a new mounting ring. (cut the ring in one place to sort of "screw" it into the inside of the tank. The new blank one will cover your access hole to the flop tube,"trap door", and bracket to keep the tube from hanging up on anything inside the tank. Every thing needs to be Pro-sealed when you close it up of course. A whole string can be found in the archives about using the cork seal or not. I chose not to and my tanks both tested good after the Pro-seal cured. I only have one picture of my tank and it's looking in the access hole at the trap door and bracket. I can E-mail it to you directly if that would be of help. Hope this helps. Steve Struyk RV-8, N842S (Res.)

    From: "Garrett, Randy L (C4S)" <Randy.L.Garrett@GDC4S.Com>
    Subject: New "No Fly Zones" and airport vulnerability assessments
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Garrett, Randy L (C4S)" <Randy.L.Garrett@GDC4S.Com> Just saw on the EAA's web site proposed additional restrictions on General Aviation. You can easily email your Congressman by going to www.house.gov The text of the proposed law is on www.eaa.org and no doubt other places. Here are my comments. I'm the RV community has better and more eloquent opinions. Just be sure to send them to your Congressman, don't just post them here. RV-6A 250 hours ============================================================================ ====== This email is to express my interest in Rep. Markey's proposed amendment to the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (HR 3798) titled "Secure Existing Aviation Loopholes". Specifically, I am concerned about the imposition of "No Fly Zones" and mandatory vulnerability assessments at General Aviation airports. On "No Fly Zones" ... First, there are already regulations about loitering over areas, such as power plants, stadiums, etc. Second, how could these be monitored and enforced. Radar coverage frequently does not extend that low, and a number of additional government personnel would be required to continually monitor the areas. Third, restricting the ability to fly through some of these areas (as opposed to loitering), would create a safety hazard to aviation, since this airspace may now be used for air navigation or approaches to an airport. Finally, my daughter pointed out that establishing "No Fly Zones" over sensitive areas would really advertise their location to terrorists. Obviously terrorists would not be concerned with violating a law or regulation, but the identification of all the sensitive US facilities on maps or other publications is an advertisement to those who wish to do us harm. On vulnerability assessments for small general aviation airport ... first, the vast majority of these airports do not exist on a "shoe string" ... they do not even have that much money. General aviation in this country has been suffering through a tremendous depression for two decades. In addition, practically all airports already have almost an onerous amount of security already. So, we should consider the cost/benefit analysis. I believe there are many other vulnerabilities in our country's security, such as at shopping malls, trucking, and shipping containers, that should be addressed before we expend additional funds on a comparatively much lower risk threat. Thank you for taking time to consider my opinion ... Sincerely,

    --> RV-List message posted by: Richard Dudley <rhdudley@att.net> Tommy, I think you are referring to the fiberglas ramps ("elephant ears" )that you "glue" to the top cowl. I found a gap between the rubber seal and the ramps. I solved it by laying fiberglas between the ramps and the inside of the top cowl. If this is what you are referring to, I'll be glad to send you photos of the ramps and top cowl.

I recently saw a great bumper sticker, interpret as you may: "If you aren't appalled, you aren't paying attention." Read the proposed bill, and see if it applies.

I'm wondering if 3/8 to 1/2 inch is enough all the way around? Dave Ford RV6 Dave: Am repairing wheelpants after a hard plop-down landing (yes, I still misjudge my energy and/or altitude in the flare every now and then). Post-crash investigation shows clearly that the down force must have momentarily flattened the tire enough to make it grab the edges of the wheel cutout in the bottom of the pants, resulting in forcible delamination of the glass plies around the opening and a crack along the bottom of the pant for about 6 inches that will one day need repainting. Also bent the aluminum mounting flange (timely post, huh?) which required a trip to the anvil for a pounding session with the hammer. Secondary damage resulted to the grear leg fairing where it got torqued by the intersection fairing as the pant bent downward in front. I had been using about a 1/4 inch clearance all the way around. Now I have dremel-sanded the gap to more like 3/8 inches to be safe. Too nice a day to be repairing fiberglass, so decided to go fly now and repair /reinforce damaged areas later when I don;t feel like flying (when will that be?!) -Bill B 6A

Spruce is now $480 and Chief sells one for $964!!! Anyone have a suggestion for where I can find a cheaper one? I have not checked with the salvage yards yet since my preference would be for a new one. Last time I bought one for -6A from Wentworth they sent me one that obviously scraped the ground but the price was right (<$100). thanks, Robin Wessel RV-10 wings Tigard, OR ---

    Subject: Re: Heated Pitot tube $964!!!!
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Richard E. Tasker" <retasker@optonline.net> The problem is that the only company that makes these tubes was purchased two or three years ago and the new owners are selling them for what the market will bear (and raising the price each year trying to find the ceiling price of what the market will bear). It is what happens when you have a monopoly. Try ebay or salvage yards. A used one is fine as long as it hasn't been damaged. There really isn't much that can go wrong with them. I was able to find a heated pitot/static tube on ebay for a reasonable price a few months ago.
