If all the units at $225 are sold, contact me if you want a basically
brand new (used twice) ATD-200 unit for $350. Email off list for
details, but I'm one of those that paid $600 for mine originally and
can't quite bring myself to part with it at $225.

| Subject: | RV-List Digest Shipping Heavy stuff - Good idea (Cheap way to |
ship & Move heavy items)
--> RV-List message posted by: "pcondon" <pcondon@mitre.org>
Some may be aware of this concept in shipping large, heavy boxes or
engines....I wasn't until I read this post from the Zenair list. It involves
use of a shipping broker, (like a travel agent for boxes). Also, I too have
used the home depo stake bed truck for aviation related local moves of heavy
stuff. Can't beat the price. I moved a heavy engine from the hanger to the
house for about 23$. I timed the use of the truck with some heavy item I
purchased from Home Depo..I recall I purchased a pallet of mulch last
spring; really didn't need the mulch, but I needed the engine home and the
mulch was heavy enough to rent the truck from Home Depo.
...................repost.................... Shipping Broker
Idea.............................
Occasionally, those of us in the Homebuilt Aircraft world, find a need to
ship something too large or heavy to send by UPS. Then you start calling
Freight Companies only to find that the charges are more than what the item
being shipped cost. I thought I would relate my experience with this and
offer some tips to make the process more bearable for others.
I bought my Corvair engine from a guy in New Hampshire. Since it weighs
somewhere between 250-300 pounds with the pallet, I knew UPS wasn't going to
touch it. My first call to a Freight Company yielded a quote of $500. They
also acted like I was bothering them with my request for a residential
shipment. I made a couple of other calls that didn't go much better.
A web search turned up some companies that are Freight Brokers. "What the
heck is a Freight Broker?" was my first question. Apparently, they are like
a travel agent for freight. Since they deal with many shipments a day,
versus the few we do in a lifetime, they get a discount and we don't.
I guess this is going to turn out as an advertisement, but I don't mind
blowing someone's horn if I'm happy with their service/product. I ended up
using Freight Quote to arrange my shipping. Wylie Yates was my advisor with
this and he helped me get the cost down to $190. Wylie's number is
800-323-5441 ext. 1761. If you call him, let him know that Randy Stout told
you about Freight Quote. BTW, I get nothing for this. I just told him that
if I were happy with everything, I would put the word out.
One of the biggest money savers in shipping is to get away from the
Residential to Residential shipment. Some of these guys charge over $100
just to go to a residence. It's even more if they have to have a lift on the
truck. That's $100 + on both ends if it's residential to residential.
I think the best deal is to drop off and pick up at the terminal. Even if
you are ordering your kit from Zenith or another business, you can request a
terminal pick up. This is great if you have a pickup (if it will fit) or a
trailer. They will usually load it in the truck for you at the terminal. A
case of beer and a few friends will usually get it off the truck later. Uhh,
don't bring out the beer until they get the truck unloaded.
If you don't have a truck or trailer, and can't find someone to loan you
one, check out Home Depot. Most of them have a flat bed truck you can rent
by the hour for $20 or so. Even U-haul is cheaper than a residential
delivery

--> RV-List message posted by: "Dana Overall" <bo124rs@hotmail.com>
Gang, below is a cut and paste from a representative of SNF.
I was told on the phone backpacks will be allowed after all, just subject to
search. The issue of coolers does pose a problem. In years past, and this
year, I am flying in with two friends in a Bonanza. We will be parking in
classic near the warbirds. We won't have room for a large cooler so we
always rent a car and drive to the store where we buy a cooler and food for
the stay. So now, instead of returning the rental car to the lot across
from the main gate and going through the main gate, we have to lug
everything to "camper registration" (long, long way) or drive and drop off
then "thumb" one's way to camper registration, ride across the place on
multiple tractor wagons or just say the heck with it, SNF wins. Time for a
little more planning gang. I wonder if the on site store is going to have a
boat load full of disposable coolers. I guess we could always pitch a
passenger out:-)
Greg, thanks for your reply. It's just not what I wanted to hear. What are
"camping credentials"? The only thing we get is the parking permit for the
airplane (stays on the glare shield) and the sticker that stays on the tent.

Okay Dana, I'ved talked this around and here's where we are:
1. Coolers are not permitted through the front gate.
2. Coolers are permitted in the campground.
If someone comes in via aircraft, they may go offsite and purchase a cooler
and
bring it in via the Drane Field (north side) camper registration entrance.
They
must provide proof that they are camping (their camping credentials) to
bring
the cooler in.
Again, hope this helps.

Thought this might be of interest as a backup pitot location. The
cooling plenum location has been tested by a RV repeat offender & it
worked for him. Since it works on more than one airframe, I thought it
worth mentioning.
I'll let him chime in if he's willing.

Craig,
In regards to Pitot heat.I built one that consumes no electrical power.
I too had some of the same concerns about the current draw and running
those big heavy wires that far out on the wing. Besides that, those
heated pitot tubes are big and add drag. I too fly IFR (some) I pick my
battles very carefully as the BD is a hand full for me in actual
conditions and I really don;t have that much IFR time in it yet. I
< snipped>
Enough story ........and on to the details of problem solving ..... I
noted some time back that when I was doing cooling tests, I installed a
small pitot tube in the front right air inlet to make some
pressure measurements and this location mapped almost perfectly to my
airspeed indicator, even at slow speed and high angles of attack. So I
made one out of brass, as this conducts heat very well and stuck it
between the fins on the forward cylinder. I have a small switch so I can
select the airspeed indicator source from either the heated Cylinder or
the pitot tube on the wing. It works well for me as my air inlets are
oversized and thus map to the airspeed indicator fairly closely.
Consumes no Juice .
I will try the post a copy of pictures of this on the web at bd-4.org

Dale, put them in. I find that they are necessary when the temp is

There is no reason for the travel to change since you are using the same
servo. The only thing that comes to mind is the hole in the elevator
spar for the cable. As the elevator moves up and down, is the cable
binding and hitting the hole opening as it moves? I recall having that
problem when Installing mine some time ago and had to elongate the hole
for it to work properly.

Alex:
Where did you mount your fans?? I am considering mounting mine just under
the top forward skin just aft of the windscreen, but I am concerned about
the magnets in the motors. Can I assume that even if you have one on each
side of a possible compass mounted on the rollbar support and equal
distances from the midline of the airplane, that there still would be some
trouble with compass errors?
This brings up another question..... Does the compass heading readout in
the Dynon satisfy the Feds regarding the compass requirement?

I'd recommend them for sure. I wouldn't be comfortable flying in cold
weather without some kind of defroster, and that's just with one person on
board. They're fairly light and they don't cost much. They work very well in
simple "freestanding" mode like most people install them - you don't really
need to duct any heat to them. I generally still leave the canopy cracked
until I'm warmed up and ready for taxi. I keep the vent open a bit as well
just to keep lots of airflow until I'm airborne. Once in the air the canopy
clears right up and the fans aren't even required, though I still keep them
on. Coldest flight so far -29F.
I don't know how long they will last though. Mine are from the surplus store
and don't sound as healthy as they used to. I think they were designed for
the easy life of a heated office, and here we are using them in a cold
airplane, pulling 6Gs with a shaky 'ol Lyc up front. Mine are still working
so far.

25 Degrees TAB UP travel.....................35 Degrees TAB DOWN Travel
The manual trim TAB geometery is diffrent than Electric trim.
Distance from the hindge pin to the Linkage atachment hole is shorter for
electric trim.
Check for linkage interferrence and proper alignment of the trim servo
motor.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Eustace Bowhay" <ebowhay@jetstream.net>
Hi Bruce:
If I was twenty years younger, it would be an option but now it will not
happen. I said that when the 6A was finished that would be my last project.
That all changed when I had the opportunity to fly the RV 10 at Van's
Homecoming. I asked myself "why are you considering building the 10", well
after flying it I knew that if I didn't I would be regretting it for the
rest of my life.
When I received my emp- tail cone kit and started to work on it I realized
that this was going to be a joy to build. After building two slow builds the
difference is unbelievable, the way it all goes together with the
pre-punching and such a great manual I look forward to heading to the shop
every morning, it almost feels like I am cheating.
Anyway hoping my health holds out and energy keeps up it would be a great
way to celebrate my eighty-first birthday next year by flying the 10 on that
day.
Eustace

http://www.miramarcollege.net/programs/avim/faculty/north/gauges/index.htm
is a simple website I made of a GNS 430, a Dynon D-10 and the Trio EZ pilot
shooting a localizer approach in really gusty conditions.
The Dynon D-10 is displaying the OAT screen with the OAT/Density
Altitude/True Airspeed data on the left info screen.
The OAT probe needed no offset factor as it read right on with the offset at
zero. I'll need to fly it a while in smoother air to see if the TAS is
similar to the steam gauge. It seemed a little off today, but I was really
getting keel hauled up there today.
The pics also show the GPS having some inaccuracies compared to a localizer.

Hi Wheeler
Nice report & pictures, and appreciated by other IFR pilots.
However not sure I agree with your assessment that the GPS is off & not the
localizer.
Looking at the hills in your final approach pictures it is possible that the
localizer is deflected slightly. My understanding is that some
deflection/bending is possible with localizer, glide slope and VOR. We have
some deflection at a local airport and it is so subtle that most pilots
would not notice.

You need one and one half threads showing past the nut.
BTW, an easy way to get the bolts in is to use a rivet gun with a smooth set to
drive them in. It beats hammering on them and they go right in.
