I will get all the tech info from him today and pass it along.
It reallly was not rocket science. You would imagine the
hole is none exsistant to not allow the pressure to equalize.
If what is needed is not apparent I will get the needed info
and pass it along.

Hi All,
This weekend, I plan to swap-out the standard 3-lever throttle quadrant in
my -4 for the "deluxe" version available through Van's. I would like to
know if anyone has done this and can share any fit/function problems that
may have been experienced. I don't want my plane down just for upgrading
the quadrant! I am aware of the "Service Letter" regarding the clevis
interference.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hey...Thats me! I have built a lot of them....working on a set of RV10 tanks
today. If you have just one or two rivets leaking I can probably help you
fix them. More that that and you should consider a new set of tanks. Give me
a call when you get a chance.

Hey, Evan. What are you charging for a set of RV-10 tanks? Your website

My only complaint with this quadrant is there is metal to metal contact
with the levers and the slot they ride in, if, they are not pushed exactly
straight ahead. Before you install the new one you might want to install
some UHMW tape or something like that.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Richard McCraw" <rmccraw@wcvt.com>
I am getting ready to build a house that will have an unfinished walkout
cellar. Within this cellar I plan to set up my workshop so I can finally
start assembling the RV-7 kit I bought about three years ago. (Pretty soon
I'll probably be studying posts about corrosion on stored-too-long skins,
but I already know that's in the archives. Sigh.)
Here's the question: If it were your shop, how big a door would you have?
What is the minimum that would work?
I am assuming, by the way, that I would not be attaching the gear down
there. I don't see having a seven-foot door.
Please pardon if this is answered elsewhere, but I don't see it in the
builder's book or in the archives.
Thanks kindly.

Has anyone done any testing at various power settings to see what air
speeds are obtained. I am trying to find "the wall" where more power really
does little in the way of more speed. Right now I cruise at 60% power, Alt
9500, and 160 knts TAS and 7.5 gal an hour. This seems to be kind of a
sweet spot. Does any one else have any cruise data. Power settings Vs fuel
flow Vs altitude etc. I am just looking for in the ball park figures.

Harry, my prop is a 3-blade, 66" in diam. Pitch is 75." During a static
runup, I get around 2290 rpm. At 8,000' wide open and level I get slightly over
2700 rpm and during a four way run at this altitude I'm going 202 mph at full
throttle. Climb has varied from around 1600' on a hot muggy day to 2400' on a
frigid morning. All of these stats are solo with 1/2 - 3/4 tanks of fuel.
I most likely would see somewhat better performance with the Sensenic metal
prop, but I was more interested in quietness and smoothness which the Catto
delivers in spades. Most pilots who have flown with me comment on how smooth my
Lyc runs and I tell 'em its the prop.
Maybe if I had it to do over, I would have gone with the Catto two-blade, but
frankly I just think the 3 blade just looks so great. You can see my plane in
the February Sport Aviation completions section.
If I can be of any further help, let me know.

Hello I was wondering if anyone found a good way or place to mount the mag

a new one that is made of stainless steal, not a big problem yet since I don't
have the top skin on. any info or names of a good compass and mounting
system would be great it will save me research time. Thanks

Yes. Recently completed this modification on my -8. Pics of Randy

I don't know if this can be made to work on the -6A but I really like how it
turned out in my airplane.

Hi Scott,
Almost exactly the same numbers I use on my -360 powered RV6 at the same
altitudes, +/- 1K for winds/direction, etc.. I can do a bit better at 11.5 &
12.5 on Fuel flow and TAS, but as a whole, your numbers are pretty close to
what I see and use for "best economy" cruise. Having a FP prop, I think the
CS guys may be able to do little better, but I'm pretty happy with that!
Cheers,

Hi Kurt, I am not sure what your asking but I will try to answer your
question. When I do an inspection I require the applicant to complete a
yes/no "check sheet/request for Inspection form". On that form is a
brief letter that states:
To Whom It May Concern:
I hereby request an airworthiness inspection for the purpose of
airworthiness certification of an EXPERIMENTAL aircraft. The aircraft
has been permanently assembled and the following marked items have been
accomplished.
(in this form is a list of YES/NO questions) followed by other questions
like the one below.
I prefer that the operating limitations be issued to permit me to
operate the aircraft within a ___ mile radius of:
___________________________.
*****
You should ask your MISO office if they supply this "check sheet/request
for Inspection form". If I can help you out with other information just
let me know and I will try to help you.

There's a sample program letter in Advisor Circular AC20-27F, which is at:
http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgAdvisoryCircular
.nsf/1ab39b4ed563b08985256a35006d56af/0ca2845e2aafffbb86256dbf00640cb2/$FILE
/AC20-27F.pdf
Line wrap will probably kill that, so go to:
http://av-info.faa.gov/
click on "Amateur-Built Aircraft" and follow the links to AC20-27F.
The letter is on page 47 of the PDF doc. It's got a checklist
of things you need to present to the DAR at inspection, so
it's good to review even if you don't use it.
My DAR wanted *much* less detail and went so far as to
rewrite the letter for me (I used AC20-27 as guidance).
The final letter I ended up with basically said,
"This is my airplane. I built it. It was fun. Now I'm
going to fly it."
The flight test area, etc, are in my operating limitations.
Good luck.

Hi John,
My thoughts are that you'd have to be one hamburger short of a picnic to
do that! I have the standard issue setup on my -6 and it's an excellent
system - zero problems. My Stinson had the reservoirs on the pedals and
they were a major pain to service - and the Stinson had a lot of room
under there. Remember that even to just check the fluid, you're going to
have to get upside down and backwards with a flashlight in your teeth. :>)

That is the way it was it was done on all of the old RV-6's with the
floor mounted rudder pedals.
Mine has worked flawlessly for 15 years.

Thanks for the performance data Walt, and congratulations on a beautiful

--> RV-List message posted by: Hopperdhh@aol.com
Rick,
I built my RV-7A in my "Radio Room." I'm a ham operator and the radio room
is about 27 by 17 feet inside. By the way, I have had both wings on the plane
inside this room at the same time. It was tight! It is a room of the house
on the ground floor. About a year ago I had the local EAA meeting at my house
and didn't want to spent the whole evening answering, "How you gonna get it
outta here?" So I installed a 6 foot wide double door in place of the single
door at one end or the room. It looks like two regular steel entry doors that
swing toward each other. One door has a latch at the top which you can unlatch
when the other (normal) door is open. I think I can wiggle the RV-7A through
the door on the gear. I will have to start through the door at an angle and
then slide it sideways to continue through the door. I wouldn't want a
smaller door than 6 ft. wide.
Hope this helps,
Dan Hopper

Rick,
Some additional information. If you don't have steps or gear on your plane
it will go through a 4 foot wide door with about 2 inches to spare. The center
bottom skin is the widest part. If its a -7A you would want to have steps, I
think, and that requires a 5 foot opening.

I have am finishing up my RV6 with dual brakes overhead
pedals and I have had to undo a couple of brake fittings to tighten
them. I filled system from calipers and all was fine but now I have air
in the lines and am wondering the best way to bleed them. I am sure I
can accomplish it but I would like to do it the easiest way. You can
answer off list.

Brian,
This is the second set of RV 10 tanks I will have built....the first is
going on my wings :) The labor looks to be about 1700.00 per set. I have to
say these suckers take a long time compared to what I am used to building.
There are just a ton or rivets and gobs of sealant to use. The matched hole
design is really nice though, both sets are looking beautiful. You will have
to plan on using 2 quarts of sealant and the shipping will have to be by
freight. The crates will be too big for UPS. I havent updated the website
because I was waiting to see how the hours balanced out on the second set.
The first set is always slow because of learning curve. If you or any others
out there are interested please feel free to email or call me. If you decide
to build them yourself you should also feel free to call for advise, I dont
mind as long as I dont have proseal setting up on me. If you dont want to
risk the leaks and you dont want to get stickey...call me :)

--> RV-List message posted by: "Gabe A Ferrer" <ferrergm@bellsouth.net>
I also have had similar problems with my EIS fuel pressure sensor.
I talked to Gregg (EIS, Grand Rapids) and he sent me a fuel pressure sensor with
a drilled hole in it to vent it. The fuel sensors don't come with a hole in
them.
I've been dragging my feet in installing the new sensor. I think that it's about
time that I tried it. I'll report in future email.

--> RV-List message posted by: richard dudley <rhdudley@att.net>
Hi Bill,
Have you checked the roll bar brace with a magnet? I had the same
concern because I wanted to mount my vertical card compass on that bar.
I checked it with a magnet and found it to NOT be ferromagnetic. I had
assumed that it was the same material as the roll bar. The magnet was
not attracted to it whereas the roll bar itself is ferromagnetic. So, my
compass is mounted on that bar. I purchased a mount that was made to go
on that brace.
Good luck.
