Larry: I had a similar problem on my last RV, what I did was elongate the
holes on the mounting plate so I could slip the fab box over to align with
the cowl. Hope this helps.

I have a Catto three blade on my Velocity and have been extremely pleased with
the quality and ruggedness. (Stuff tends to go through the rear mounted prop!)
IMHO, a better value than the Performance props and tougher too.
Craig Catto builds props for some of the Reno air racers. And I believe there is at least one Velocity/Lycoming IO540 with a Catto on it. See http://www.cattoprops.com/ .
I would think the RV10 would do just fine with a fixed pitch Catto on it. And
at 1/5 the cost and complexity of a constant speed prop, might be worth it!

| Subject: | Legal IFR panel w/ Dynon? |
--> RV-List message posted by: Bluecavu@aol.com
The underlying issue was discussed extensively in the recent past.=A0 This
has to do with what the FAA authorizes at the time of the inspection.
In essence, they give you an airworthiness certificate that states,
"After completion of phase I flight testing, unless appropriately
equipped for night and/or instrument flight as listed in 14CFR, Part
91.205 (b through e), this aircraft is to be operated under day only
VFR."
Thanks for the great info guys... This was the impression I was under,
although I've heard different things coming from different FSDO's (as usual). I
don't think my airworthiness reads as above though -I need to check. I don't think
the 'unless' is included in the wording on mine -In which case I'd need a new
one -and a fed to issue it (inspection -ugh.). I need to go read it
carefully.
Anyway, I just wanted to hear from some of you and get an idea of what to
expect in the real world... I just don't want to be out there past the edge of
legality and have some mishap and end up having my insurance be void and be
violated by the feds cause they ruled that the aircraft "technically" wasn't
approved for IFR.

Listers,
I have a Mark Landoll Harmonic Balancer, a Steel Ring, and the
Aerobatic Plate to use with it. I had all the above installed on my 0-320
E3D engine. I also have the 4 inch prop extension to go with it. When I
replaced the wood prop because of IFR use, I found out the Sensenich Prop,
Sensenich extension, backing plate and Spinner weighed one pound less than
what I'd taken off. On tandem RV's this really helps to move the CG forward.
I'll sell the whole Mark Landoll setup for $350.00. You pay shipping.
I'll sell the 4 inch extension for $100.00. You pay shipping.
If you have any questions or comments, please e-mail me off list.

Scott, I just went through the process of getting new operating limitations
for my RV-4. (I needed exact wording to include IFR). If you go to the EAA web
site you will find a sample letter with the exact wording necessary to get
the new limitations. The FAA person I worked with did not have any experience
with experimentals and he said I actually did all the work for him. He did
want to look at the aircraft (although the 8130 handbook specifically states an
inspection is not necessary), but it was just a quick look see to assure him
that the aircraft was appropriately equipped. All in all it was pretty
painless.

As long as it doesn't actually touch the canopy you should be fine. We
have a Glasair locally that has a padded vinyl glare shield, with the
first 1"-2" pushed up against the canopy. Now whether from heat (the
vinyl is black) or out-gassing I don't know, but he has micro cracks
everywhere the vinyl touches. Needless to say, he's not a happy
camper. FWIW, the airplanes aprox 3 years old and the cracks started
about 1.5 years ago.

Hello all,
Because of my quest for an RV I have been lurking to learn what I could.
Now it would seem I have a question that some may be able to address.
I have found an RV-4 (finished in 1991) with a fuel tank that appears to be .
leaking at the rivits.
In the past I had a Cherokee with this same problem and the fix was to send
the tanks off for resealing. I would assume that the same could be done to the
RV tank
as well as building or buy a new tank or ?? I am thinking that the old tank
would be a mess to deal with.
Any input ?
Thanks

Fixing a problem tank would be much less work than building a new one. There
are numerous suggestions in the RV list archives on how to fix a leaking
tank.

Sal: The thing to consider with buying an older RV is the tanks, back in
the early 90's we used tank sealer and then used a sloshing solution. This
stuff can be a problem when you have to do repairs, this slosh has a white
plastic appearance and is hard like plastic. Van quit using it a few years
ago, myself I would replace the tanks, I think there are people that repair
the tanks by cutting access plates in each bay at the rear bulkhead. Big
project. I hope this helps.

I will try and keep this simple, I am building an RV and I joined the
local EAA chapter... They elected me president. Well, I decided to have
a fly-in on Fast Day. The term fast day comes from not eating on a
particular day up here in New Hampshire, but I have a tendency to
interpret it differently. We do not have a lot to offer just a 6000 foot
runway and a clean rest room. We hope to have a barbecue, one of our
members has a barbecue on a trailer that he may bring. No rain date,
but we do have a ILS so if the weather is lousy we will see if any IFR
folk show up. As an added attraction if the weather is real nice some
rather proficient RC builders will give a demo. This would even include
the mowing of some grass with a helicopter using its rotor blades. (I
have yet to see it done). This is not an RV flyin, the New England RV
chapter will be holding their fly in on June 12th. So invite anybody
that feels like flying to come on by. As a disclaimer the EAA says I
should not encourage anybody to fly fast on Fast Day as it could be
considered racing. So be mellow and take it easy. As a side note Fast
day was started in 1681, to help the health of the governor back then.
Well he died. The holiday had continued for several hundred years. So
stop by and have a bite to eat on Fast Day.

--> RV-List message posted by: JhnstnIII@aol.com
Listers--I am posting this in case it will help others avoid a problem. We
are building an RV-6. We built a 2 1/2 inch sub panel all the way across the
bottom of the instrument panel (to get more panel space). The sub panel
surface is in the same plane as the main panel surface (ie., not inset forward).
The stick grips we ordered had a forward angle to them. We discovered to our
dismay that with the sticks at their forward limit, the stick grips interfered
with things on the subpanel Iike the ignition key on the left side and the
mixture control knob on the right side. We are now ordering straight grips (Ray
Allens) that should solve the problem. Suggest if you are installing a
subpanel that you set it forward and be careful about stick intererfence, especially
with grips that angle forward. We had already shortened our sticks and
although we tweaked the stick positions there was not enough adjustment available
to allow us to keep our original stick grips. --LeRoy Johnston/Dave White RV-6
project, Columbus OH. Finishing panel wiring, engine/cowl is next.

While attempting to torque the bolts through the U-803 Outside Gear Mounting
Bracket I discovered 2 problems. First one of the 2 brackets has much more
than the prescribed .030 clearance over the wear plate. Is this a problem?
Second, the NAS 6206-27 Bolt has only .390 of thread and the prescribed AN
365-624A Locking nut is .450 thick. Thus, the bolt will never engage the nylon

| Subject: | Re: Stick - panel interference |
--> RV-List message posted by: Fiveonepw@aol.com
Listers--I am posting this in case it will help others avoid a problem. We
are building an RV-6. We built a 2 1/2 inch sub panel all the way across the
bottom of the instrument panel (to get more panel space). The sub panel
surface is in the same plane as the main panel surface (ie., not inset
forward).
The stick grips we ordered had a forward angle to them. We discovered to our
dismay that with the sticks at their forward limit, the stick grips
interfered
with things on the subpanel Iike the ignition key on the left side and the
mixture control knob on the right side. We are now ordering straight grips
(Ray
Allens) that should solve the problem. <snyp>
Another option is to just shorten the sticks- I had the same condition with
my CH Products sticks and simply cut the tubes an inch shorter- actually they
are still a tad tall & they might get shorter yet! FWIW my sub panel IS inset
1.5" and is 1.5" tall- all cable controls reside there...

--> RV-List message posted by: "C. Rabaut" <crabaut@coalinga.com>
Okay experts (and the rest of you),
Has anyone ever heard of an RV-4 with an O-290 mounted on the nose? Will
the same conical mount for the O-320 work for the O-290 also? How does an RV-4
fly (take-off, cruise, aerobatics, landing wise) with less than 150 HP ? Thanks,
in advance, for all replies.

| Subject: | Oil/gas leak out of Bendix Servo |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Shemp" <shempdowling@earthlink.net>
Im wondering if anyone has seen this before.
I have a Bendix fi servo and Ive noticed some liquid seeping out of the
bottom of the servo on the top of the fab mounting plate upon shutdown. The
air cleaner also seems awful dark looking thru the fiberglass, oil? I call
it a "liquid" because I cant determine what it is. It seems to be a mix of
oil and fuel but I gave up on my rotax a long time ago:) Its a blueish
thick oilly mess. It also drips out of the bottom of the fab. I dont know
what to make of it.
Thanks

Look in one of the most recent RV-ators. There is a guy who will build your
tanks for you. Sounds like it may be worth the cost if you dont want to
mess with the mess.
