I agree with an earlier post. I think that you are applying the elevator up
and down requirements to the trim tab.

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. John Kent (Ireland)

Listers,
I have an old style Hartzell governor which measures seven and a half inches
from the mounting flange face to the rear of the unit. I have not mounted my
IO-360B1E on my RV-8 yet, so I can't accurately measure the firewall
clearance. Can someone tell me what the clearance is from the governor mounting
flange
to the firewall and I would be interested to know the size of some other
governors. I may be able to make a swap for a different model or brand if this
one won't fit.
Thanks.

One of the things I do when balancing a prop is to note the tach
difference Vs. the infrared pickup on the balancer. All the mechanical
tachs are off by at least 100 RPM ..... it changes with RPM ..... and
some as high as 200 RPM. The major balancing is done around 2200 with a
check at full throttle when done. As to 'what to do with it'? Well,
nothing. You know it's off, and if you're a purist .... do the math and
compensate. If you want to go fast .... and it appears that you do
...... put the pedal to the metal and haul butt. Don't worry too much
about the 'damage' that you'll do with a little overspeed ..... you'll
never know it in the long run ..... there are a lot more things that
will reduce the TBO than that. IMHO, of course.

Ok, I ready to install the F6111L & R, those little pcs. that go above
the baggage area on the top skin sides for the sliding canopy. I guess
they need to be cut off to fit. How much? Top and bottom or only top or
bottom? I seem to remember someone saying how much they had to cut.

But you are not competing with the cost... $89 instead of $18.00 for
essentially the same product...

Don,
We sell EL Lighting with inverters. NO one has complained about
noise
from our systems to this date. They are designed for low power
and low
electromatic radiation. The lights can easily be dimmed as well
by varying
the DC to the inverter from the +12V.
GOOD LUCK with your project!

You can get 40 acre's in Holmes Co., Ohio for about $40,000 but you may have
to sell the timber first! I am in one of the lowest priced areas of the

A friend of mine is contemplating going to the north TX area to look at
a completed RV which is for sale. He is not a builder, and would like
to know if there is an experienced builder in the area who would be
willing and able to look the plane over with him.
Please reply off line to alexpeterson@earthlink.net.

Nine of the eleven hangars here at Slobovia Outernational (in
Mississippi) are 'chicken houses' erected by a guy who stays very busy
building...chicken houses. Shop-built (engineered, of course) trusses
with 2X6 purlins & Galvalume metal roofing. The builder expects a
reasonably level surface. He comes out one day & shoots leveled spots
for & pours the foundation pads for the trusses. The next day they start
erecting the trusses & within 3 or 4 days you have a shed to park
under. I believe that the current price is about $2.25-$2.50 per sq ft,
parts & labor. Add the cost of slab, door, walls, etc to that. Painted
Galvalume metal for walls runs around 60 cents per sq ft.
The various owners here have researched almost every possible idea for
hangar construction, & this is by far the cheapest in this area. One
advantage is that if money is tight, you can protect the plane for very
little initial cash outlay. Another advantage if you have unstable soil
(we do) is that you can park planes, vehicles, tractors, etc under the
shed for months to pack the soil hard before actually pouring the slab.
If you are willing to do it all yourself & just need an RV sized hangar
(30' span), drop me a line for a way to do it even cheaper that that.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Cory Emberson" <bootless@earthlink.net>
Hello!
I am writing an article for Kitplanes magazine that will feature builders who have
distinctive interiors and/or exteriors.
My deadline is rather short, so if you could email me as soon as possible, hopefully
by Tuesday, that will give me enough time to put it together.
Here are some of the criteria I'm looking for:
Interiors that are (one or any combination):
1. creative
2. inexpensive
3. very comfortable
4. lightweight
5. generally cool and different
6. distinctive in some way.
Exteriors that are:
1.. stunningly attractive
2.. original design
3.. historically accurate
4.. distinctive in some way
Other things to keep in mind:
1. How you came to design your interior/exterior (How you got your idea)
2. The reasons why you did it as you did
3. What benefits you had in mind
4. Any unexpected benefits (and/or pitfalls) there were
5. What you learned
6. How many hours you've flown with it (if completed)
7. How much of the work did you do yourself?
8. Did you have any professional assistance? How much?
9. The equipment and tools you used
10. How much time it took to build and install
11. The cost of building it.
12. Would you do it again the same way? Why?
Here are the photo requirements for Kitplanes: Photos must be 300 dpi at a size
large enough to use in the magazine, which is usually at least 3 x 3 inches.
If an image is 300 dpi at 1 x 1 inch, it won't be big enough to do any good. Hard
copy photos are good, too.
Thanks so much - I really appreciate your help!
best regards,

Bobby,
If your F6111 pieces are the same as mine, cut off the top at 1 3/8 inch
(measured along a "centerline" running through the tooling holes) above the
tooling holes. Don't cut yet! They should be cut at about a 30 degree angle with
the bottom sides being longer than the top sides. That's 30 degrees from just
whacking it off at 90 degrees. You will angle back the flanges to fit flush
to the bulkhead as you trim it to fit. Draw vertical lines 1/4 inch inboard of
the center of the corner holes that hold the corrugated baggage plate in
place. The tooling holes end up just in front of this line (about 5/8 inch).
If
I had done mine that way it would look great. I cut off too much! That's
easy to do. It would be better to cut long to begin with to be sure what I said
will work for you. There has to be a twist in them to fit the skin. But this
information should help. Once the top is done, incrementally trim the bottom
until the center line of the flange lies under the holes in the skin and the
bottom just almost touches the longeron. I think 1/16 inch from the longeron
looks good.
This information is as I measured it on my airplane.
Hope this helps you get a good fit.

Hey listers:
Thanks to many of you who support and are active on the RV-List, My RV-4, N504RV
flew from Nut Tree Airport today. First flight, 40 minutes, to 9,000 feet,
ended with ground observing smoke and a leaky gasket to the prop gov. Otherwise,
COOOOOL!
This is Van's #1305, began in 1984 by Ret Col Don Disbrow (diseased). After 7
years of love and pain, it flies. A great feeling and a debt to you all on the
list. Also Van's, who always had a rough idea of what my problems where but
a solution just the same. Mike Seager was a big help in getting me ready for
the first flight and all the help from the local Hanger bums at the Nut Tree.
My wife Ronni and kids Casey and Kelly, yes your dad is still alive and now will
be home a bit more. A great bunch of people and a life-time high!

Thanks for the invite, Bruce!
I did the linking and jumping and found that indeed, the fly in is at
CARSON CITY , NEVADA. (Not carson city, NY.)
It has so far been a somewhat secretive event so it must really be worth
attending - maybe the SR71 will fly by or the Wright Flyer or even the RV11?

I'll try one more time.
Bobby,
If your F6111 pieces are the same as mine, cut off the top at 1 3/8 inch
(measured along a "centerline" running through the tooling holes) above the
tooling holes. Don't actually cut yet! The pieces should be cut at about a 30
degree angle with the bottom sides being longer than the top sides. That's 30
degrees from just cutting it off at 90 degrees. You will angle back the flanges
to fit flush to the bulkhead as you trim it to fit. Draw a vertical line on
each side 1/4 inch inboard of the center of the corner holes that hold the
corrugated baggage plate in place. The tooling holes end up just in front of this
line (about 5/8 inch). If I had done mine that way it would look great. I
cut off too much! That's easy to do. It would be better to cut long to begin
with to be sure what I said will work for you. There has to be a twist in
them to fit the skin. But this information should help. Once the top is done,
incrementally trim the bottom until the center line of the flange lies under
the holes in the skin and the bottom just almost touches the longeron. I think
1/16 inch from the longeron looks good.
This information is as I measured it on my airplane.
Hope this helps you get a good fit.

N504RV flew from Nut Tree Airport today. First flight, 40 minutes, to 9,000
feet, ended with ground observing smoke and a leaky gasket to the prop gov.
Otherwise, COOOOOL!

After 7 years of love and pain, it flies. A great feeling and a debt to you
all on the list. Also Van's, who always had a rough idea of what my
problems where but a solution just the same. Mike Seager was a big help in
getting me ready for the first flight and all the help from the local Hanger
bums at the Nut Tree. My wife Ronni and kids Casey and Kelly, yes your dad
is still alive and now will be home a bit more. A great bunch of people
and a life-time high!

Here's what I did....NOTHING. I threw mine away. My skins are plenty stiff and

I have the same number and it was GOOD last time I called it 3 years ago. I
have a work phone number of (559) 625-2744. May want to try that. If they
do not know them, my suggestion would be to look them up on the FAA Database
to see if they moved. I was told they were building a house at "Lake
California Air Park" (38CA). Lake California is in Northern California near
Redding.

I was told to contact Dave Anders at 559-627-3375 for round cowl inlets by 3
different people on the list. Tried twice (carefully) and each time got the
same person who didn't know a Dave Anders. Does anyone have a different
(correct?) number?
Thanks,
