There is no transition training at Sun-n-Fun since Mike is busy giving demo rides. Just prior to Sun-n-Fun 2004, however, Mike will be at Naples, Florida (Naples Airport KAPF) to offer transition training to builders that are getting close to completing their projects. There are still time slots available on Sunday, April 11th for this training. Mike asks that pilots signing up for training be current. Van's website indicates that the transition training typically goes 2 or 3 sessions. Cost for the training is $40/hr for the plane (hobbs time) and $50/hr for Mike (figure 1.2 hrs for a lesson, including ground school). Pilots wishing to avail themselves of the transition training can contact me to schedule their timeslots. I can be reached via email at jpaulich@earthlink.net or by phone, 239-261-0544.

I was planning on running the wires from the spar to the firewall under the F782C floor cover and then up the firewall. My question is how to get around the firewall recess. The floor cover needs to be removable so a hole with a gromet would not work. Maybe a U-shaped slot with a gromet at the bottom of the "U"? Would the wires then be attached to the firewall with wire ties? Is this the preferred routing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tom ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 12:40:40 PM PST US Subject: RV-List: -4 fuse jig From: "Wilder, Scott" --> RV-List message posted by: "Wilder, Scott" Anyone have a lead on a -4 fuse jig in the SF bay area or norcal?

It is a heated unit off of a 1973 Cessna 150L, 12 Volt working heater. I used a piece of stainless tubing for my RV6A and I will not need this unit. The e bay number is 2469422076. Thanks, David Ahrens PS The first flight of my RV6A was Feb. 14, 2004. Just like everyone saids, it is worth it, keep building. RV6A, 0-320 and Sensenich metal propeller. ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 05:02:01 PM PST US From: Hopperdhh@aol.com Subject: Re: RV-List: Pitot tube --> RV-List message posted by: Hopperdhh@aol.com In a message dated 3/25/04 7:35:30 PM US Eastern Standard Time, daviddla@juno.com writes: > PS The first flight of my RV6A was Feb. 14, 2004.

There must be lots of folks like me that sure need it. I have been getting a little burned out trying to get this thing done for the upcoming flying season.

Just make the bump into a dent, sand with 80 grit sandpaper, fill with Bondo and sand to contour. After painting, it will not show. Jim Cone 3-Peat offender
