>From: "Stewart, Michael (ISS Atlanta)" <mstewart@iss.net>
No doubt Dana if the event gets any larger, you will need to move this
event. We pushed the envelope for this venue.
I'm in the process of writing up a story for Doug's site as the lead story
tomorrow. I'll post the URL when Doug gets it up so we don't "bore" those
who were unable to attend:-) I'm sure the weather had a great influence on
the turnout. Attendees from as far north as Pontiac Mich and as far south
as Tampa (like I said, 86 RVs as of noon when the counting stopped) and
Sam.........if you wanted short sleeve weather (63 when I left the airport).
I had to sell one arm and one leg to get what we had yesterday..........if
you wanted better, you'd have to start calling
me "Shorty or Lefty":-)
Just as a note to what Mike said (and yes, I already have a couple options
available) we filled the ramp up by 10AM and started parking on the
parallel taxiway. The taxiway is about 1500' and we filled it on both
sides!! As singles left we were able to get additional RVs onto the ramp
but at no time did we run out of parking. Had me concerned for a while:-),
just hope it didn't show. We still had room on each side of the runway.
With that said, we only had three minor "traffic jams" all day with no
biggies. One was a transient stopping in the middle of the taxiway to drop
a passenger off and had to then taxi against the flow......lasted about 2
minutes, one was simply a very large influx of RVs along with a student
pilot leaving the ramp in a 172 and one was a twin with locked up brakes
that impeded the 9 ship formation flight taxi down the taxiway. Not bad for
the traffic we had. My 17 year old son and his best friend did the "traffic
cop" thing for $50 bucks each and a bucket of Hooters wings. And, yes I
have already taken care of it with the manager: I WILL have two Hooters
girls deliver and serve the wings next year!
I will do something next year. I will certainly entertain anything to
improve upon what I thought was a fantastic day.....but a laid back
appearance with safety hidden in the background will be the prevailing
process.

A few months ago I posted the fact that I wasn't happy with the way my panel was coming out and that I had actually ruined my first one. I also didn't want to purchase or learn how to use a CAD program just for one panel. I requested help from the list and promptly got a response from Ross Schlotthauer! Ross offered to lay it out in CAD and work with me to get the panel cut to the exact dimensions I wanted and the finish product turned out excellent, better than I could have hoped for. If your skills aren't up to your own standards as mine weren't, consider checking out Ross's web site at www.experimentalair.com .
Man this web site is great! Thanks Matt

Guys, I'm nt a 'D'; I consider myself a card carrying Pragmatist. I say
this to make it clear that I'm not a defender of Democrats.
Now:
If you think the danger is solely from Democrats, I invite you to watch
a little cable or network news. It matters not if you watch the
so-called liberal media or the so-called 'fair and balanced' reporting
of Fox. (Bill O'Reilly, from the 'fair & balanced' No Spin Zone, has
stated repeatedly that all foreign nationals in this country should be
rounded up & deported & that that the public should be disarmed. I guess
it goes without saying that a white boy with the surname O'Rielly gets
'grandfathered' in because he was born here, even though his ancestors
were immigrants)
Consider that ALL the restrictions placed on our freedoms (and flying is
only a minor blip on the radar of freedoms lost) over the last 2+ years
have been instituted by a Republican administration and/or a Republican
controlled congress. No law could have been passed in the last 2 years
without Republican support.
Perusal of the Patriot Act should make your blood run cold. Google for
John Ashcroft's speeches & read about how he believes that any citizen
who speaks out in opposition to Administration policies should be
treated. I'll save you some time. He believes that anyone who speaks out
against Administration policies is a traitor. I have seen him make that
statement.
Google for 'Patriot Act II', & read about the back room proposals being
floated by Administration powers for further invasions into our privacy
& losses to our fundamental constitutional rights as Americans.
George Bush (meaning his Puppet Masters) opposed the arming of airline
pilots & backed down only after extreme pressure from the NRA.
If you believe that there are any true differences between Democratic
power brokers & Republican power brokers, do what any criminal
investigator would do: follow the money.
I know that this isn't the proper forum for this discussion, but since
the subject was broached....
Charlie
BTW, Ed Anderson, who wrote the original post, is a good friend of mine.
Ed, I hope you understand where I'm coming from.

No offense, Charlie. Just sometimes we share different views and

In writing up a rundown on the yesterday's flyin, I would like to ask a
couple favors. I would like someone from each RV wing to email me, offline,
with a total number of members represented by your wing. I currently show
Indy with 20, Ohio Valley with 17 or 18 and TeamRV with either 9 or 10. If
possible could you do this today.
Next: The six driver with the carbon fiber panel........anyone know who
that was?? If so, I would like to talk with him offline.
Next: I have left over a GPS Smart Coupler II with adapter cable to couple
a handheld with an autopilot. The retail on the coupler alone was $224 when
purchased. $125.00 plus shipping takes it. Email me offline
Next: Shameless plug:-) I had four people come up to me and say they had
made a decision on their RV type after yesterdays flyin.................my
builders number is 70733 if you would like to list me a referral (we get
$100 credit from Van's)....See I told you Shameless Plug.

Weird. I just bought my pitot tube(PH502-12) from chief last week for $415.
I guess their price increased drastically when they had to restock it!
Also, it looks like the price for Whellen strobe/position lights are going
up too. I bought mine from Vans a couple of weeks ago and their price was
the same as last year ($780 for Kit 6) but Spruce and Chief show the kit for
$150 more or so than they had it for last year.
--> 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.

And, Charlie, I don't want my good natured ribbing of the Dem's (man, but they
ask for it!) to be confused with approval for all the acts of our current party
in power, who have largely forsaken the principles they once stood for. The
Patriot Act was BAD; McCain-Feingold was nothing less than the beginning (perhaps
the middle) of the END of our constitutional government. I see dark days
ahead, and the President I pray for daily (or should) is not helping a fourth
so much as he could. Our fouunding fathers foresaw this day and gave us the
second amendment in order to protect the first, and all the others; they knew
they had created a Trojan Horse in the form of the independent judiciary, and
it is unfolding just as they feared. These men were obviously gvery wise and
courageous, but not perfect.

| Subject: | Dimple or countersink 904/976/922 |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Matthew Brandes" <matthew@n523rv.com>
I'm about ready to disassemble the center section assembly but before I do, I need
some input. The F-972 floor skin overlaps the F-976 center section skin which
in turn sits on the flange of the 904 E&F. The plans note four places you
should countersink the 976/904 because this is where the floor angles attach
on the inside. This implies that you should dimple the rest. The flange on
the 904 is pretty thick, and dimpling this plus the two skins could leave a not
so hot mating surfaces between them all.
I'm thinking I'll countersink the entire row of 976 skin/904 flange and dimple
the 972 skin to sit inside the countersink. Is this what others did?? Am I missing
something??

Hey guys,
My Whelan wingtip power supply quit working. It's got voltage to it and
the flash tube works when I try it on the other wing so it's gotta be
the power supply. It's a A490, T-DF-14/28 and it seems to be about $225
to replace it. Has anybody had one repaired?
The case is pop riveted on so they seem to be serious about their no
field repair policy.
Thanks,

Matthew,
Exactly how thick is each part?
Generally speaking, you can't dimple anything over about .032", and
can't countersink anything under .032". If it is .032" thick, you can
choose which to do.

do, I need some input. The F-972 floor skin overlaps the F-976 center
section skin which in turn sits on the flange of the 904 E&F. The plans
note four places you should countersink the 976/904 because this is
where the floor angles attach on the inside. This implies that you
should dimple the rest. The flange on the 904 is pretty thick, and
dimpling this plus the two skins could leave a not so hot mating
surfaces between them all.
I'm thinking I'll countersink the entire row of 976 skin/904 flange and
dimple the 972 skin to sit inside the countersink. Is this what others
did?? Am I missing something??

Before you send it in, be sure you have Power to the wingtip. Just having
voltage means nothing if a connection has gone bad and it can't pass the amps.
I had a similar problem with a cabin strobe power supply that was
intermittent. I appeared to have voltage at the box, but a crimp was not tight
on the
switch (the only one of about a million, I hope), and I found it when I burned
my
finger touching the connection in flight.
Whelen was nice, and it only cost me shipping back and forth and the
frustration. These things are educational even when fllying.

I've got 152 Hrs on my RV-6A (with the new style wheel pants) and
have already replaced one wheel pant bracket. I figure the other one
will have the same problem soon, and I'll probably find it cracked when
I rotate the tires in a couple of weeks. I really don't want to have to
replace one or both of them on every tire change/rotation.
So, in my opinion, I have the choice of doubling up on the thickness
of the current material, or replacing them with the stainless material.
For the extra money, I'd rather have the durability of the
stainless.....

Hey Dana,
Here is the info on the "Indy-RVers" you requested. See Below:
Hey Rvers,
What a turnout!! Easily the biggest and best'est RV/style extravaganza

of putting this together,,, considering we pretty much overwelmed the Madison
County/Richmond airport today! The best Lebanon, TN. (M54) RV/style event
only turned out about 44 RVs in years past. We nearly DOUBLED that today!!
WoW!!
The "Hooter-wings" were an absolute smash. ((oh my GAWD, finger lickin
good, they were!!)) I saw many empty "Hooters-tubs" over by the trash. The
burgers and dogs had a waiting line about a half hour long too! Coffee and
donuts greeted the RVers early this morning, and they were very much appriciated.
The INDY guys found them right away of course! (yum,yum,yum,yum,) burp!
OK.......here you go. The list of attendees today!
The INDY RVers :

Not to mention there were in excess of twenty SPAMS parked out there too!
Holy COW!!
The FOOD was great, thanks DANA!! The weather was perfect, thanks
again DANA!! The fuel was a bit pricey.........at $3 bucks a gallon. But,
hey....you can't have everything,,,right??! Two outa three ain't bad!!
OK........there you have it. EVERYONE was there! It really don't get
any better than this! Especially for February!! Hope you were one of the
lucky ones who got to attend this great "RV-cookout and get together" at
Madison, KY. today! The southern hospitality of our Kentucky RVer friends was
so
very much appriciated!!
We were treated to the usual RV-formation FLY-Bys this morning. Saw
some neat new ideas. Visited with our long lost pals. Even made some new
friends too! Paul McCord took about a thousand pictures for us.
We are already looking forward to NEXT year! MORE food. MORE RVS!!
MORE RV/FUN!
Thanks AGAIN Dana!! We had a BLAST!

Where are they cracking? And which one, the outer our the inner? Like any
other aluminum part, the holes need to be deburred and the edges dressed. When
doing my wheel pant installation, I found it took a lot of adjusting to get
the brackets to lay flat to the wheel pant. If the wheel pant is installed
causing tension on the brackets it can induce a stress crack.

| Subject: | Dynon Remote Compass mounting? |
--> RV-List message posted by: Kevin Horton <khorton01@rogers.com>
I'm pondering the details of how to mount the remote compass sensor
for my Dynon EFIS. I'm leaning towards hanging it from the top of
the F-809 bulkhead on my RV-8, somewhat similar to:
http://home.comcast.net/~jwdanie/Compass/compass.html
But, I'm worried about potential interference from the high voltage
strobe light line that goes from the power supply back to the tail
strobe. I could reroute that guy lower, but it will be a real PITA.
So, I'm wondering how close anyone has run a strobe light cable (the
big grey one that goes from the power supply to the light) to the
EDC-10 remote compass mount. If you've got such a strobe line in the
area of your remote compass sensor, tell me how far away it is, and
whether you can see any effect on heading from it.
My strobe cable would probably be about 8 inches from the compass
sensor if I don't move it. I don't want to move it if I can get away
with it.
Thanks,

Kevin,
I've been considering that location for the compass module of my uEncoder. I have
two concerns. Most stationary ferrous metal objects can be compensated for.
The problem is near by moving ferrous (steel and iron) parts. The rudder cables
are directly below all areas of the tail cone. You also have the elevator
horns in the rear and the rear torque tube to bellcrank hardware in the front
of the tail cone. If you are installing the battery in the rear (I am) there
is also the issue of the magnetic field generated by the master contactor mounted
on the battery tray.
I'm wondering if a location in the wing might not be better???

My current plan is to put the Dynon compass module inside the inboard
inspection cover in the right wing. I'll make an adjustable tripod-type
device out of AL and nylon screws that will allow me to tweak it's
level, etc. When the wings go on for the last time I'll start working
on it..... All theory so far.

The wing is quite possibly better, and I certainly gave it serious
consideration. But a fuselage location allows me to finish this task
in the garage, rather than add it to the list of stuff to do after
the move to a hangar.
Quite a few people seem to have mounted Dynon remote compass sensors
in the aft fuselage, and most seem to be happy with the compass
performance. At least this is my perception from watching various
e-mail lists. Magnetic fields from a point source (like a battery
contactor) will vary inversely with the cube of the distance, so the
field strength decreases very quickly as the separation increases.
I'm satisfied that a location at the top of the F-809 should be more
than far enough from the battery contactor, elevator horns, etc. The
rudder cables are steel, but they are a fair ways below my proposed
location, and I've read reports of success with these things mounted
on the aft deck under the VS on a tail dragger, which puts it closer
to the rudder cables, tail wheel, elevator bellcrank, etc.
My only concern was the high voltage strobe line, as many folks don't
have tail mounted strobes, and I haven't read any mention of
separation between strobe lines and compass sensors. But Bob
Nuckolls on the Aeroelectric List said:
There should be NO magnetic field radiated from your
strobe lines. Don't worry about them affecting your
compass sensor.
I trust Bob, so I'll press on with my plan.

If you don't want to make the covers with composite materials, you can
make them with scrap aluminum you have on hand. There is a photo near
the bottom of this page of the hinge pin keepers I have been using for
550 hrs:
http://home.hiwaay.net/~sbuc/journal/finish5.html
Advantages of this type of keeper:
1) secures the pin
2) hides the gap between the cowl halves
3) ties the cowl halves together with screws which prevents wear and
chafing in a very visible spot.
I kept a pattern from when I made up the covers; I had one fatigue crack
around the screws and made a new one in just a few minutes from the pattern.

The problem is near by moving ferrous (steel and iron) parts. The rudder cables
are directly below all areas of the tail cone. You also have the elevator
horns in the rear and the rear torque tube to bellcrank hardware in the front
of the tail cone. If you are installing the battery in the rear (I am) there
is also the issue of the magnetic field generated by the master contactor mounted
on the battery tray.

One way to check for the suitability of a location for the remote mag is
to use a handheld compass (a cheap one is fine). Move the compass around
the area you considering and if you don't see the needle deflect due to
flux it should be a good location.
My mag is located on the shelf below the vertical stab near rudder
cables, elevator horns, and the tailwheel spring. Heading accuracy is
within two degrees.

Unfortunately, the Dynon website says the pitot will only work with their
EFIS-D10. It sounds like if you want their pitot for anything else you're
out of luck. Anybody know for certain?

My Whelen wingtip power supply quit working. It's got voltage to it and
the flash tube works when I try it on the other wing so it's gotta be

to replace it. Has anybody had one repaired?
I believe that their policy is that they will repair them forever to original
owner for $40.

Odd. I've got 682 hrs on mine and not even a hint of a problem. I just
inspected them during their fifth condition inspection last week. Did Van's
change the design? I can imagine how they could break as robust as they are.

Passed a significant milestone today. Something that happens in the
construction of every homebuilt.
Had the tail attached, the controls hooked up, nothing left to stop me.
So I got in the cockpit and made airplane noises for the first time. No
throttle, but rudder and stick. Did find out that the rudder pedals hit
the firewall if breaks are applied at full rudder position.
Otherwise, very pleased. Since there was nothing left to do back there,
took the tail back off so I wouldn't have to duck under it to walk around
the garage.

Their pitot is a combination pitot/AOA. I can't see why the pitot part
wouldn't work for anyone. You would need the D10 to use the AOA part.
But I won't know for certain until mine arrives (this spring???).

| Subject: | Rudder trailing edge - T-88 vs Tank sealant |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Dave Ghost" <daveghost@earthlink.net>
Im considering using T-88 structural epoxy on the rudder trailing edge
instead of tank sealant, but first I thought Id check with those more
experienced than I in the use of these materials. I havent used either yet.
Are there any compelling reasons to use tank sealant rather than this epoxy
or is the epoxy a better way to go? I have the epoxy on hand, but would
gladly order the small container of tank sealant if it will perform better
on the trailing edge. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Dave, RV-7 Empennage

Does anyone have experience with HVLP setups? Any brands to look for or
avoid? I'm looking at 3 or 4 stage turbine for priming and maybe finish. I'm
also need to do some re-finishing around the house. Any experiences would be
appreciated. Thanks.
