Gang, since I am not associated with Brian in any fashion I think it's fair
game that I comment on his post lights. I knew he had these lights for sale
with Spruce and Wicks but I had not seen them. He sent me a set as a door
prize at last weeks fly-in. Upon opening the box I was immediately
impressed with the quality of engineering and production that went into the
system. The ease if install was obvious. The system is very, very flexible
and I am certain will provide very nice illumination of instruments. I am,
without a doubt, chucking all my other lighting thoughts, and
acquisition:-), and will most certainly use his lighting system in Black
Magic.
To add to my thoughts, when I first saw it, live and in person, my first
thought was, "he did it right".

I had a chance to look at the new TruTrak unit yesterday at the Casa Grande
Arizona, Cactus Antique Aircraft fly-in. They will initially have two
units available, one with roll control like the Digitrak unit and a plain
turn coordinator without any autopilot functions. No altitude functions on
the Autopilot unit, roll control only for now.
I really liked the way the units looked and the way the display moved.
However, the small size (2 1/4 ) really made the turn coordinator not very
satisfactory for me. This would be a great instrument if it were in a 3
inch format. Same is true for the autopilot unit, the display is just too
small to use if you had to use it as a primary flight instrument. I did
like the way the airplane stayed level and the horizon pivoted around the
axis, this was a nice representation and would be really easy to fly from.
If they bring out a bigger unit, I would probably buy one in a flash.

Hi Mel,
I saw the unit too and was very impressed, especially the price. He told me
the unit IS available in the standard size, so I ordered one. The 2.25" was
for display. Very, very cool and will look perfect under my Dynon.

--> RV-List message posted by: Hopperdhh@aol.com
RV Listers,
I just bought some cheap LED flashlights at a hamfest (a fly mart for ham
radio people) and am thinking of using them to illuminate my panel. I bought 10
of these flashlights to experiment with because they have some optics to
control the light pattern that I thought might help. I want a very low cost
approach. Bright LEDs are readily available now at Radio Shack and many mail order
houses like Digikey. I am thinking of mounting them under the glare shield
aimed at the instruments. Has anyone else done this?
LED stands for light emitting diode for any who don't already know. There
are some really bright LEDs available today. They are much more efficient than
light bulbs which radiate a lot of energy at longer wavelengths than light.
They are also more reliable. Many traffic lights and taillights on cars are
now LEDs, and I have heard that LED headlights for cars are not too far off.

List,
I have run into a problem with the clearance on my FAB 360 airbox being
close to rubbing the cowl air scope?
The K&N Air Filter supplied is exactly 7" x 3 1/2 " O.D. I would be fine
if the Air Filter was only 3 1/4" High?
Has anyone else ran into this? It would appear the front my Airbox
needs to angle up more to use the existing filter? Sure don't
want to cut the box to increase the upward angle and re-glass?

Did you get the standard size 3 1/8" turn coordinator without the
autopilot? I am interested in that. Was it the same price as the 2 1/4"
$395 I will be very interested in hearing your report after you receive it.

Does anyone know if this is considered a trade up purchase (getting trade-in
value for original purchase of the digitrak) for someone already having a
digitrak and wanting to replace with the new wing leveler with TC?

Yes, according to Richard Martin who was representing TruTrak the turn
coordinator alone is available in the 3 1/8" version. They only had the
2.25" for display.
It is very cool. It looks like much like a standard Artificial Horizon with
out the pitch component. Standard looking slip/skid ball. The unit is
electric and spools up immediately. The display unit had an internal battery
so people could test it out. The bank indicator is very sensitive.
Just from the 10 minutes I played with it I believe it is the perfect
addition to the Dynon or other EFIS.

Hi Steve,
I bought that saw when it was on sale last month for $99. I took it back for
a refund. It was an alright saw but is primariuly for cutting wood. I took
it back because the guide wheels are NOT adjustable. Harbor Freight has no
metal cuting saw blades for it. I did order a 50' 24 tPI blade and had some
welded to fit (62") but when I tried to install them they were too thick.
That is when I found that the guide wheels would not adjust.
Hope this helps,
Ned

If you want mine (bought about 13 years ago & never made a cut without
the blade coming off), you can have it if you will come & get it.

Evan...
I know laminated carbon is pretty easy to cut or drill. I wonder about
cutting with a laser though. As an experiment I held a propane torch to a piece
of
carbon which glowed red hot, but when cool, seemed to have not changed a bit,
wouldn't break easily at all. Then took some laminated carbon did the same,
epoxy caught fire, burned out, carbon still intact. Interesting stuff, so I
wonder what temp will cut it? Just noodling here, do not archive.

I bet I could get flat sheets laser cut....never tried carbon fiber but the
laser cuts metals, plywood and plastics with no problems. I just had an RV6
(aluminum stock one)panel cut for a friend of mine and it turned out awsome.
I got to do the whole layout on Autocad and then watch the laser cut it
perfectly....the cut is just a few thousands thick.

Tired of riveting on parts that you later learn to be defective? Yep,
there it is, right in the archives, other people have gotten the bad
part too. Van's even knows about it, but for some reason they didn't
tell the rest of us...
Found errors in the documentation? Sure, we all have. You probably
realized the problem before you hurt your airplane, but what about the
next guy?
Reduce the amount of suffering in the RV community. Register any
parts defects and construction manual errors you find, so new builders
can go and make notes *before* they repeat history:

--> RV-List message posted by: "Robin Wessel" <Robin.Wessel@verizon.net>
Check our HYPERLINK "http://www.lumileds.com"www.lumileds.com for their
line of Luxeon Star LED's that I bought from HYPERLINK
"http://www.luxeonstar.com"www.luxeonstar.com . The new Audi A8 will
feature what appears to be their 5W star's in a 5 light cluster for
headlamps.
I built some nav lights using 3 of their star LED's and a simple current
regulator using an LM317 and a 3.6 Ohm resistor for my RV-10 project.
The light output is definitely brighter than a typical incandescent
source and the current draw is about 1 amp compared to 2.5 amps for a
reg. bulb.
A link to the current regulator circuit is at: HYPERLINK
"http://linear1.org/gm/archives/00000147.php"http://linear1.org/gm/archi
ves/00000147.php
I plan on using the Star LED's for the interior as well. They are
available with different lens patterns, colors, and outputs. Although
they cost about $10 a piece, they are easy to mount and 1 Star is a lot
brighter than multiple $2 super brights. They also sell some wide
dispersion board mount styles that many of the auto vendors currently
use for IP lighting.
The concept I have is a to use one of each of the primaries clustered in
a color mixing flood configuration so that I can change the interior
lighting to any color I want.
Other ideas- the local PC stores are selling EL strip lighting kits with
12V inverters for less than $20. Although designed to light up your PC
box (don't ask me why!) I think that they would make great
under-glareshield lights for real cheap.

I bought that same band saw many years ago. Very difficult to find metal
blades for it. I had to have a few made up special. Then they easily snap
when cutting anything of any significance. I finally sold it for $20 bucks
with no blades. Now that I am working on the RV-9 there have only been a
couple times when I wish I had one. But not enough to actually go buy one
yet. If I do, I will buy a good one and one that I know there are blades
for.

Paul,
This is similar to what I had in mind when I began the "Bunny's Guide to
RV Building" site.
See http://www.matronics.com/rv-list/bunnys-guide/rv/bunny/
It doesn't really aim to correct specific 'errors' in the Manual -- more
like fill in many of the gaps. Similarly with 'parts defects' -- it's
more about how to work-around slightly mis-fitting parts than to
document whether or not they are mis-fitting.
I suspect that some RV-9 (and a lot of RV-7 stuff) will still be
more-or-less the same as the RV-6, so its probably worth your while
having a skim through.

From the picture in Sport Aviation, it looks as though when you upgrade to
the Autopilot combo version you lose the skid ball. That makes it an AP /
Turn-and-Bank and not an AP / Turn Coordinator. Since I'm looking for IFR
eventually, this doesn't really save anything for me, since I still want an
actual TC. Maybe the Standard size instrument varies from the photo and has
the ball. I'm considering a TruTrak AP and a combo AP/ TC (like the S-Tec)
would be nice, but from the pic it looks like the TruTrak falls short of
this. Too bad.

I bought a Delta bench top band saw for $88 from a local building supply
store. Take the blade off and go to a machine tool supply house like Do-All.
They can recommend theeth per inch, blade width, and thickness. I bought two
blades for $16. Just watch out for metal flakes building up on the rubber
tires the blade rides on. Otherwise it works well.

The need for a metal cutting blade depends what you intend to cut with the
band saw. I have had reasonable success with a simple wood blade when
cutting material up to 3/16" thick when roughing out fittings from 6061
angle and .063 2024 sheet. Thinner stiff bends however.
If you want to cut steel, well a metal cutting blade is pretty much needed.
Equally important as the blade type and teeth per inch is controlling blade
speed - usually with a series of step pulleys. These are what the low end
machines lack and what makes them unsuitable for even semi-serious metal
work.

I bought a band saw from Harbor Freight in 1982. I bought it on the phone for
$300.00. A few months later a friend bought the same saw for $169.00. The
same one now is $199.
I have built two RV-4's plus steel tubing hangar doors and sundry other
items. I used the wood cutting blade for all things aluminum,and metal cutting
blade for steel. I'm still using it almost every day.
I have adjusted the wheel angles so the blade stays on OK.
I think it is well worth the money.

normal cruise my temps are all same at 335 +- 1 on all cylinders. I never
though getting cyl temps that close was possible.

Is it a good idea to make the blocker a 90deg block or more of a 45 or 60deg ramp
to smoothly direct air flow to the rear cylinder?

Wheeler,
Can you help me visualize how you "sliced on the bottom at angles one for
each axis"? so you could adjust/shim the device so precisely?

I used the Grove aluminum gear on my RV-8. Got the streamlined version so no fairing
is required. Saves about 15 pounds.

Any one know of a source for lighter weight gear legs for the RV-8. I have
seen them mentioned in the past, even with brake lines enclosed. L.D.

Hi All,
I apologize for this message!! I thought I had saved the information on the Odessy
batteries but apparently not. The archives suck so I need to post to the group.
Where is the best place to get the PC860 with the most reasonable shipping costs?
Thanks in advance.

bad. :-)
