The trim tab horn is shorter for the electric trim. Remember the servo only has
1.2 inch travel and the cable travels more than this with the manual trim.
If, as in my case, changing he horn is too much metal butchery, then do as I did
and instal a ratio arm (lever) between the servo and cable end. On my RV-4
it let me get full tab travel and also let me reverse the direction of the servo
to make a neater installation. Just do the maths for the correct lever ratios.

Almost forgot to mention - getting full travel by the ratio lever will speed up
the tab movement - not what you want at flaps-up speeds - you will need one of
Matt's governors (or similar) to slow things down in the high speed regime.
Good luck ! John Kent.

--> RV-List message posted by: "David Carter" <dcarter@datarecall.net>
I signed up on the Freight Quote website last night ( www.freightquote.com )
and entered the 320# wt and 97"X48"X28" of my RV-6 Finish Kit, used "Freight
class of 150 (whatever that is). Went thru the "free quote" routine and
noted cost - looked good. I got an e-mail last night saying I'd get a call
today. This morning I received a call from one of their reps, Jim Siders,
1-800-323-5441, Ext 1812, and we settled on "Van's dock to my residence" for
$370 (instead of $395 to a terminal 10 miles away) . Job will be done by
Bullet Freight.
Van's would have used ABF and shipped "Van's to ABF Terminal" 10 miles from
my house for $395 and I'd have to scrounge a truck or trailer to pick the
crate up at the terminal and unload at my house.
So, I save a litle bit in money and save more in time and effort by having
it come direct to my home.
I would have done terminal to terminal and saved even more except that
Bullet has no terminal in my area. The next lowest price from Freight Quote
was SAIA. They have a terminal here and would have charged $354 for "Van's
to terminal" with me picking up at terminal. Would have saved me only $16
over Bullet bringing it to my door - not worth the extra work by me.
I made final payment Monday, Van's was posting payments today, and will put
my kit out for crating later today to be ready for pickup next week.
Barbara has no problem with us choosing our own shipping company. She just
needs a name & number to call to request pickup. I paid Freight Quote
today. Very little effort or time spent.

I am thinking about buying a 3000 square foot hanger and I was
wondering if you guys that know something about metal buildings could
give me a price per square foot for metal buildings. It has the more
expensive electric folding door. I am just looking for an estimate. It
is built on concrete and has a slab in front of the hanger also.

Dude, you must have an enormous trench coat to put on that hanger!
Seriously, my neighbor's hangar door is electric bifold and cost more than my RV-6A
complete kit did back in '94. I don't remember exact figures, but those puppies
are worth some serious bucks. They're also interesting to operate if the
power is out ;-)
I hear 50x100 foot metal buildings being advertized all the time for around 19k,
but I am sure shipping and erection add considerably to the cost, not to mention
the concrete floor, wiring, and other amenities.
Seems like hangars are scarce these days, and probably an excellent investment
when at the right location.

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.

George,
Not sure what is up, but I have flown this approach a bunch of times. If I
fly the localizer I stay right on the runway centerline, if I fly the GPS
track I stay to the right of centerline. On a good day this puts me right
between the runway centerline and the right side of the runway if I were to
continue to touch down, which ain't bad for a low cost autopilot. And the
GPS antenna is on the AC centerline.
The few other approaches I have flown with this system don't seem to do
this, so I don't think its the plane??? But, I are just a dumb piolet,
so... this opinion is worth what ya paid for. ;{)

I see a similar thing in my RV (w/ 430). The VOR checks right on at
the local VOR checkpoint, but on approach it's 2 or 3 degrees off the
GPS guidance...Of COURSE I use the VOR indication.....;-)
I figure it's no big deal. Maybe it has to do with us taildraggers
and the VOR check in the tail down attitude.....<grin>
"Hello Garmin.....where do I adjust my 430 to compensate for the nose
high attitude of my taildragger during a VOR check?"
That would have them scratching their head.

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.

Call Dave Anders at (559) 627-3375. He has it all worked out and sells the
machined rings for each size engine.

Hi Listers,
I'm considering using round cowl inlets and an aluminum plenum on my RV3
with an 0320. Does anyone know the proper dia. of a round inlet and how
this compares to the size/area of Van's std oblong inlet. Thanks, Rick

I mounted them to the fuse forward top skin, just in front of the
instrument panel. It took a little creativity to cram them in amongst
the avionics, but it worked out. Don't know about the effect upon the
compass, which is in the right panel. One of these days I'll swing it.

That's a javascript web form that I now use for weight & balance (CG)
calculations. Feel free to steal that HTML file and tweak it according to
your own plane's data.
The WAP (mobile phone) version is coming soon...
I love having more time to code now that the plane is "done."
Hehehheh...yeah, right. 8-)

Hey, Dan,
I tried to "Save page as..." and put it somewhere on my mo-sheen; then
when I opened that saved file, I could input weights for the passenger,
etc., but the matrix to calculate the moments and cg wouldn't work.
Any idea why not?
Thanks!
Randy
BTW, I tried to send you a note and some pictures (of me in Thule,
Greenland, and Honduras) and got a reply that the files were too big.
Any other address I can send them to, or should I try to shrink 'em somehow?

| Subject: | EL Panel/Glareshield Lighting |
--> RV-List message posted by: "John Wiegenstein" <n727jw@hellerwiegenstein.com>
Just an update for those who responded to my earlier inquries re: panel
lighting options. After poking around the 'net to see what there was, I
ended up ordering an Electroluminescent green tape strip kip from Startech.
Here's the link:
http://www.mutantmods.com/itemdetail.cfm?ProductID=ELTAPEGN
I ordered thru Buy.com, for a total cost of about $18. The kit arrived
today, with a 4 foot long strip of green EL tape, a nice, compact
transformer that runs off 12VDC, and connectors. Mocking it up where my
glareshield will be shows that it gives lots of light, in a nice, even, soft
green hue. I have the B&C dimmer for the other panel items (avionics) and
the dimming curve for them seems to match well with the EL strip. My
glareshield overhangs the panel by only about 1.5 inches, and if I had left
a longer overhang it would position the EL strip further away from the panel
and help give better light towards the bottom of the panel. But, so far
it looks like it will be a slick setup for panel lighting, at very low cost,
and should give very long life.

I don't know what browser you are using, but if you can "view page
source" then save that it works just fine when opened.
Thanks, Dan for this resource!
