--> RV-List message posted by: "Stewart, Michael (ISS Atlanta)" <mstewart@iss.net>
I am struggling to find the bolt type and length of my 6's nose-wheel
axel.
My plans are MIA to a friend, my rv-8 plans nose wheel sheet has no
reference to the bolt type.
RV-lists has nothing.
Vans parts list sheet does not help me either.
So, anyone know what it is?
I would measure the one I have but I cant get it out. I am gonna have to
cut it out, hence I need a new one.
And, for each "sissy wheel" e-mail sender, I am gonna write your name
down and come find you:-)
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Sounds right to me. A couple weeks back I was at this step and on one of the
brakes just removed the bleeder fitting and put it in the opposite side
hole. This allowed both lines to be a the top of the bake assemblies. My A&P
was here at the time and those were his instructions.

If you are looking at the back of the radio, Which side is pin 1 for the molex
connector? Is pin one on the right or the left?
I have an installation manual and for the life of me I cannot see where that is
designated. They do show a diagram for a connnector for a voltage converter
which I do not need, but not for the transponder.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi Randy-
I'm using 2 PDAs built into my panel (EFIS & GPS) and when the going gets
bumpy they sometimes do require several stabs to hit the right thing. Some time
ago I saw some little plastic styluses (styli?) that just slipped over your
fingertip (think Halloween witches fingernails!) that looked like a good
solution with a little pad of velcro on top of it for storage under the glareshield.
Problem is, I haven't been able to find any locally or on the internet-
Anyone know where to get these?

Jeff: Looking from the back of the connector the left side is number 1.
Looking very close at the connector you will see the numbers.

I can't give you a definite answer without removing the top skin from our
RV-4. The numbers are stamped in the plastic of the connector on top. They are
TINY though. I rubbed a black felt pen over them before I started wiring the
connector,to make them more visible.
Hope this helps,

I have a the new iPAQ 5555 and have been messing with it since day one,
installing crap and whipping it and installing more crap, and I have never
had a lockup of any kind... Not that it will never happen, but I think they
are really getting good now...
The 5555 has the 400 MHz XScale processor and 128 MB of onboard SDRAM, and I
added an 128 MB SD card so I have plenty of storage space... It also have
built in Wi-Fi/WLAN and Bluetooth... The Bluetooth is nice because I can
use a Bluetooth GPS receiver and have no wires to dink with in the
cockpit... Oh, and the battery is replaceable like a cell phone! Probably
one of the nicest features...
One more thing, if I don't want anyone else to use the thing I can set the
security to only unlock after it scans and recognizes my fingerprint...
Pretty freakin cool, and it actually works!
Anyway, this is my 4th iPAQ and easily the best... There are a lot of guys
here at work that have different variations on the palm, and nothing
compares in my opinion...
Other software I am running on it right now:
Airport Insight - http://www.notamd.com/
FB FltLog - http://www.frontbeach.com/pocketlog/basic/
I am also looking at some checklist apps now, there are a lot of them!

Bill,
I've been watching these PDA-based solutions for some time, and have used a
simple one in my glider with great success to run glide computer software.
As I contemplate what to put in the panel of my new RV-3B project these look
attractive but I still have two major concerns...
1. The PocketPC operating system is a typical Microsoft product and is
complicated and bloated code and therefore prone to crashing, and managing
it does require some real understanding of it. Anyone concerned about OS
stability?
2. The interface looks like it requires a stylus -- anyone concerned about
using a stylus while bouncing around in a cockpit?
Thoughts on these?

The feed and seed store here in Norman, OK carries sulphur 'bombs' for this
purpose. They look like big firecrackers and have a fuse. you light the fuse
lower it in to the hole and it starts making yellow smoke, cover the hole
and the deadly smoke travels down the tunnels. works.

Randy,
I would not want to use any windows products in flight crital computers. However,
it is being done today by Avidine. There are several Electronic Flights Bag
products that allow no paper in the cockpit that are windows based. For my
own flying I have been using some map software on an Ipaq. I have never had
the Ipaq lockup in flight (I have had problems with the GPS but not the Ipaq)
I reboot the ipaq before each flight and only run my flight software.
As for using a stylus, it can get tricky. I only fly VFR so route changes don't
happen to often in the air. You can get a finger tip stylus that some people
realy seem to like and make selection easier if you bouncing around. One other
thing that helps is to have a place to brace your hand when your trying to
touch the screen.
Hope this helps,

"Hello Garmin.....where do I adjust my 430 to compensate for the nose

Yeah,
I asked them if I could store my second data card in the other slot, and
they were less than informative, claiming it was a "not used" slot so you
shouldn't keep the card there. Seemed like a contradictory statement???

Hi Bill-
I had a problem with mine shortly after initial installation- e-mailed
Australia and got instructions for return, boxed it up and took it to the post
office. Was back with no charge after about 10-12 days, IIRC.
While we're airing our Micros, has anyone else had the NO COMM error on their
T-2000? Happens when I try to punch in a new code. According to manual, it
may have to go back to Oz as well...

Found the fingertip sylus at: http://www.truetip.com/
It's irritating that they require you to open an "account" to buy a $10 item,

RV-6 N187CF, aka The Spruce Moose, took to the skies today for the first
time. The flight was about 25 minutes, during which we climbed out to
5,000 ft. over the airport, checked temps and such, and came back for a
landing. It flies like a dream, with only a slight heaviness to the
right wing.
Stats:
RV-6 tip-up, slow build kit #25728, started 9/99.
Approx. 1800 hours build time over 4 1/2 years.
Aerosport Power O-360/ Ed Sterba 70X82 prop.
Basic IFR panel w/ Dynon
Heavy, but very comfortable Oregon aero seats
1,067lbs empty (surprisingly heavy, I question the scales...)
I didn't get much in the way of numbers, other than a climb of 1500fpm
at 100 kts. CHTs never went above 400, on a brand new engine. Lots of
little things to be tweaked over the next few weeks.
Many thanks to Matt for the list, as well as all listers who have been
such a help over the years. Thanks to Alex Dedominicis for the

--> RV-List message posted by: Ken Balch <kbalch@cfl.rr.com>
We've decided to make our first pilgrimage to Oshkosh this summer and
we're going to camp on the grounds. I've read the EAA's survival guide,
but I'd some specific recommendations about what to bring. What sort of
tent, sleeping bag, etc. Should I just go down to REI and have at it?
I'd hate to purchase or pack anything unnecessary.
Am I correct in assuming that Showplane Camping is the right/best place
for us to camp with our RV?
Any info at all would be greatly appreciated.

You did say ANYTHING - right? :-)
Thanks for looking into this. I really feel we all need to do
our little part to keep aviation available to our children and
grandchildren. Reducing the noise factor helps.
We added a pretty serious muffler on our club's Piper Cherokee,
which *greatly* reduced the noise, and I really didn't notice
any difference in power output. Clearly there was a reduction,
but I could not sense it while flying. It's completely under
the cowl, so no additional drag.
You don't see people that live near a lake complaining about
the sailboats out there!

I know a few guys are thinking about installing cameras on their aircraft. Here's
a camera that I can get for whoever is interested. This is just the camera,
receiver, antenna and transformers - they work on 9V, NTSC system 380 lines,
color and sound. Quality is excellent. You will still need a recorder to record
the images. The photo pretty much speaks for itself. If anyone wants more

That's good planning! You want to choose essentials with size and
weight in mind. I still use my REI sleeping bags that I bought 30 years
ago! I also bought a SVEA 123 stove from them. I burn avgas in it with
no problems. The best sleeping bags are 100% down, but I chose the ones
with fiberfill on the bottom and down on the top. They still go into
stuffing bags, although they're tight. I carry a queen size air
mattress and an 12V pump to inflate and deflate it. It fits in my tent
with a 1 1/2 foot area alongside to store stuff. The tent is a dome
with rain fly from Wal-Mart. There have been a lot of changes in tents,
so you might look for a dome with a rain fly that covers everything.
You'll use the rain fly even when it's not raining since it helps to
keep the tent cool. Choose a tent with a bag length that will fit your
baggage compartment if you can. The length is determined by how small
the poles break down to. Choose a really light color if you can. On
my camping fly-ins that are longer than a weekend, I'll buy a cheap foam
cooler and put ice in it to keep things cold. I leave it when the
fly-in is over. Ice is also necessary for a relaxing beverage in the
evening. Do not pack a full set of clothes for each day. As long as
you get a shower and don't slog through the mud a lot, you can wear
things more than once, and you can wash socks and underwear while you're
in the shower!
>Am I correct in assuming that Showplane Camping is the right/best place
>for us to camp with our RV?
>
That's terribly subjective. If you're in showplane camping, it's a trek
to the camp store, but your're close to all the action all day and all
night. I've done both showplane and campground camping and it's a
toss-up. I guess I like showplane camping because it can be quieter
than the campground. I guess you'd just have to experience both so you
can make an 'informed' decision!
Best of luck!
Linn .... Love to camp!

Ken, I camped for the first time at OSH last year. I
found out that as usual the devil is in the details.
Try and bring in as much with you as possible. I
figured all the things we would need and then put them
in smaller containers to save weight and space. The
most important is a good tent with a strong rainfly
and good stakes. Last year on Tue, Wed, Thur, we just
about reached the wind and rain limit on our tent. I
have a Coleman Rainmaster 5 person that held up very
well. As for cooking I flew in coleman fuel bottles
for the stove. Just don't forget trash bags,
collapsable water containers and canvas grocery bags
to carry ice back to camp. Hope some of this helps,
Craig

Hi Bill,
First, pencil in the 1st Saturday in June so ya'll can come on down to
Slobovia & eat whatever we decide to cook for our next flyin. Just throw
in a couple of sleeping bags & we'll find a place out of the heat for
you to sleep. It might even be a bed!
Now, on to the hangar:
$10k is really impressive considering that your hangar is complete with
door, power, water, etc.
I added a 30' X 48' 'lean-to' to my hangar about 5 years ago, & the
metal purlins (rafters) & roofing came to about $1500. The slab was
around $2k, with me doing the form work but paying for the pour &
finishing. I believe I could do a bare bones 30x50 for under $5k. I keep
threatening to write a magazine article about it, but priorities.....
Come see us & bring the family.

I'm planning a similar setup for my RV-10. Proven (non-Bill Gates)
systems for primary aviate/navigate/communicate. Glass panel (tablet PC
such as Motion M1300VA with indoor/outdoor display) for large moving
map, weather (WxWorx.com), CD/DVD, flight planning S/W, etc.
I've also been concerned about hard drive survivability. I think a viable
solution is to remove the hard drive entirely and go with solid state main
memory (USB thumb drive, or similar). There are already bootable thumb
drives, so it appears this approach could be undertaken today. By the
time my RV-10 is ready to have the tablet PC mounted I should be able to
get a lot more tablet PC for the money, with huge solid state "hard drive"
available for a fraction of today's price. Now, if WxWorx/XM will just
come down from that $50/month price point...

Ken,
The ground at OSH is sandy and rocky and difficult to get the screw-in tie
down anchors to go into. You may want to make sure you have some good tiedowns
that will work in that kind of soil. They were described on the EAA web site
last year. I haven't looked this year. Each one has three long "nails" that
drive into the ground. I used to use the "medium dog size" corkscrew type but
those aren't too good up there.

Maybe I'm remembering this wrong from bleeding brakes in my old auto-shop
days, but isn't the bleeder valve ("thingy") supposed to be at the top?
It's purpose is to purge the system / caliper of air and the air naturally
floats to the top in the caliper piston cavity. Having the bleeder at the
bottom may allow trapped air to stay in the caliper. Maybe aircraft
calipers are different but it seems they should function the same as on an
auto.

Doug, they are different. The "bleeder" is on the bottom, but hydraulic
fluid (don't use brake fluid!) is pumped into this port and pushed all
the way through the master cylinders and on to the reservoir. Actually
quite simple to do, and you don't need two people, either.

For mini pc's for your aircraft, you should check out littlepc.com. They
have great solid state equipment. We used one of their units in a one-off
prototype for a customer (non-aviation related). Their stuff is very cool
but their solid-state drives are a bit pricey (aren't they all?). These
are real internal laptop-style (sorry, I forget the bus type) hard drives,
just with no moving parts! Very, very cool. Their devices also run Linux
so you don't have to put up with Microshaft's..ahem...Microsoft's nonsense
(although Windows is offered by LittlePC too). Another advantage of their
equipment is that several of their models have internal 12-volt power
supplies...just plug it in and go! Whoohoo. They also have tiny VGA
monitors (6.4" is the smallest). If you don't want to go with a VGA LCD
you could pick up a small 2,3 or 4 line LCD or VFD from matrixorbital.com.

Maybe it is simple on your airplane, but on a -4 it is usually a real
P.I.T.A. -4s tend to have a loop above the master cylinder and I have never
been able to back-bleed them, I always have to push it down from the top
with my finger over the bleeder. It takes a bunch of fluid and makes a big
mess. One of the worst airplanes I know of to bleed the brakes on. I have
talked to others who tell the same story on the -4.

Most A/P's bleed the brakes with a pressure pot, from the bottom up.

| Subject: | new vacuum pump, cheap. |
--> RV-List message posted by: "thomas a. sargent" <sarg314@earthlink.net>
I have a Stratus vaccum pump (made by Superior Air parts), model
AA215CC, which was sent to me by Bart Lalonde when my engine was
delivered - 4 years ago. This is an all new pump, still pristine in the
original packaging. It has never been mounted on an engine. I've decided
my RV-6A will be vacuum-free, so the Stratus is for sale.
I am told these things list for $500, but typically actually sell for
about $400. I'll sell this one to an RV-lister for $300 and I'll pay
the UPS bill to ship it anywhere in the U.S. Anybody interested?

That would make a nice trip up north. We have been considering
purchasing some land up north, and this would be a good excuse to go flying.
How is your project going?
