Hello
I'm a prospective builder from germany (still searching for a place to
build) and I am going to perth, australia for a couple of weeks next month.
Are there RVs (in various stages of completion or flying) at jandakot?
Thanks
Thomas

I had my David Clark non ANR headset converted to ANR by Headsets, Inc. After
replacing the 9v battery numerous times, I finally bought the panel power
supply from Headsets, Inc and that problem has been solved. I believe the cost
for the panel power supply is around $35.

I bought a 9V batterry eliminator for my ANR headset.It works fine. It
requires a typical cigar power outlet. The thing I like about it is that it
will power any 9V decvice, so when not using the headset I can use it in my
CD player. Check it out here:

What the heck is everyone using to bend soft aluminum for fuel and break

My hands/fingers... whenever possible -better results than any bender on the
soft stuff (3000 series)... works well on the 1/4" anyway -and largely
impossible for harder tubing. Learn to massage it correctly and it'll stay absolutely
round and have no kinks or scars. For the 3/8" I use a combination of
hands/fingers and tube bender (I fiddled with a tube bender and some sandpaper/files
to remove/smooth/round all the places on the bender that seemed to scar the
tubes...

It was the firewall clearance problem using the *local* reservoir I was
trying to solve. These MC5's with the *internal* reservoirs do not
contact the firewall before the rudder hits the stop.
As far as servicing, I hope that will be limited to annuals, at which
time I can take the fwd baggage floor out and access them through the
baggage door. Am I being naive?
I was young when I started this project. Now I'm not so sure....
Thanks for your input.

Larry,
I've had the dedicated reservoirs on the pedals for a few months now and
they're doing fine. They did seep some fluid initially from the tiny little
pinholes in the plugs but these are moving around a lot more than the
firewall mounted tank. I just cleaned up the drips and all is well. I
suppose those bronze mesh plugs would hold fluid better and not let out so
much fluid. Your installation should work great and I kinda wish I had
investigated them as well! I'm probably going to sell my -8 to a really
tall guy who needs the pedals moved forward. It won't happen with the
reservoirs on each pedal. Your pics show that the MC5's should take care of
that. Once the brakes are filled and bled, you shouldn't have to get down
there to the pedals very much. Most likely only during annuals. Can just
take out the baggage hold floor and reach in from the door. Going in
through the cabin is sheer murder on the back. That's one thing I won't
miss at all.

Yep. I found Trio at SNF by calling their office number,
which was routed to a cell phone at the booth. I was
about 50 yards away when I called. I bought the whole
system which will be shipped soon. Good guys.
I hope SNF figures out a way to add booth space to the
next show. It's often the new, small companies that
have the most interesting products.

Has anyone else had trouble with a EIS from Grand Rapids Technologies?
after 25 hours of trouble free operation the display started moving
from right to left a couple of digits. It then started getting worse,
jumping 4-5 digits every 5 min. or so of flying. GRT sent me a new unit
and all the problems went away, until today. The display has started
shifting from the right to the left again. So it seems as though after
25 hours or so of flight the EIS starts having trouble in my plane.
Greg really did not have an explanation for me at sun and fun and I was
hoping someone out there has had a similar problem and may have a fix.
Thanks,

Speaking of leaks -- These MC5's have a nylon cap screw with a small
hole in the middle. Remove the screw to fill, etc. I wonder how bad
these will leak through that vent hole. The system definitely needs to
be vented somehow, is that right? I guess if I keep it 75% full it will
be fine.........

Sounds like the same plug that came in the machined reservoirs. Yes, they
*should* be vented to allow them to feed fluid if the need should arise.
Once mine dribbled out a few cc's, they haven't done it again. I filled them
very close to full and in the taildragger, the pedals flop aft without my
feet on them. This no doubt contributed to the leaks. I suppose with some
vigorous acro or turbulence they might urp up some more, but for the most
part, they're staying dry now. 75% full might be the ticket.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Chris & Kellie Hand" <ckhand@earthlink.net>
I'm posting this for a friend and neighbor I fly with occasionally (his
C-172 & C-182 club planes and my C-140). After following my RV-6A project
over the last 10 years, along with pitching in and helping out when I need
extra hands, he is now thinking about buying a flying RV-6. He would like
to find an RV-6 owner in the western Washington area that would be willing
to take him on a short flight, or at least let him sit in an RV-6 to get a
feel for the cockpit and sight picture on the ground. I think he may decide
to build a plane sometime down the road, but right now is looking to buy
first so I didn't suggest that he make a flight to Aurora for a Van's demo
flight.
If there's anybody out there willing to help get him hooked on RV flying,
please reply to Larry at: 1flyer@wavecable.com
Also, he's checking all the usual web classifieds, but if you know of a good
RV-6 for sale, please send him a note. Looking in particular for VFR only,
fixed pitch setup.
Thanks,
Chris Hand

Hi All,
I am expecting my Xcom 760 to be delivered in about a week or so.
Production has only just begun so expect a bit of a delay in shipment.
I'll report back with performance etc as soon as I get is going.

Hi:
I have an AeroSport 0320- 150.H.P.; the alternator that comes with the
engine, has 3 wires.
Yello is for warning light, heavier cable goes to the starter;
but the green, goes to the pannel, for Alternator field? switch.
Correct? is the purpose of this, I can only see if one wants to
disable the alternator? when overcharge, or what?
I just want to be sure I understand this...
Thanks in advance for your comments

--> RV-List message posted by: "ed " <ed_88@hotmail.com>
In preperation for starting my rv-8a qb, I was going to set up a table
to be my work surface. In particular I am wondering if it makes sense to
have a bench up against a wall, or will I be better served by something on
wheels so I can back it away and work on things from all angles. Since I
will probbably be building this myself, does anyone have a recommendation on
what size I should make it?
Also any recommendations for what size air compressor to get?
Thanks for advising a soon to be builder,
--Eddie

Hi Eddie,
I have a workbench set up against a wall, *and* a table for working
round things. I suggest that you avoid a workbench on wheels... Murphy
says that it'll move just when you don't want it to. OTOH, a wheeled
trolley would be useful as a portable tool-rack.
Don't make your wall-mounted workbench too deep... you won't be able to
conveniently reach stuff that's at the far side. Mine is about 3 feet
deep, and that's just a bit too much. But it does give room to store
various tools and things. In its latest incarnation, my workbench
protrudes a bit from the end of the wall, which makes a convenient area
for working round things. On my bench, I have a little tray-thing with
several little compartments which is good for keeping all the little
tools that you need. And a block of wood with holes in it to keep drill
bits in.
Drilling and painting are the two things that really work your
compressor.
I started with a little home-made 1/3hp one, and it was too small. OTOH,
it just meant being a bit savvy about working... drill a while, and when
the pressure dropped too much, go and deburr/dimple/whatever for a while
until pressure built up, then back to drilling. Had that compressor
motor running for hours on end (maybe that's why it died?).
I now have a 2.5hp compressor, and that's OK. Of course, a 5hp one would
be better!
Frank
