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.

Ed, I made my "work bench/table" 6'x3'. It's heavily built with 4x4 legs and can
be accessed from all sides. I also bought a little work bench/tool chest from
sears. It has 7 drawers where I keep all my aero tools. The top is about 4'x2'
and I set my drill press and band saw on top. I added caster wheels so it will
roll around the plane as needed. Also when you get your wing and or fuselage
boxes just add some legs to it to get it up off the floor. It makes a wonderful
storage bin/work table.

Ed,
I made 3 worktable from plans found at this website http://www.eaa1000.av.org/technicl/worktabl/worktabl.htm. One table is against the wall with tools and such. The other two tables were originally placed end to end with a cheap sheet of 4x8 particle board attached to the top as a work surface that could be drilled into and walked around. After finishing with the wings the table were rearranged to accommodate the fuselage, then moved again when it came time to put on the wings. I'm building a 7QB and my 5hp, 13gal Campbell Hausefeld compressor I bought on sale at Wal-Mart has been adequate.

Hi Ed,
I built a set of EAA Chapter 1000 tables. So far I'm very satisfied with them
as they're sturdy, moderately heavy, but not bulky. The supplies you get will
build two tables. I would highly recommend that you make a jig (out of some
2x4) for the screw patterns and glue all joints with wood glue. Also, having
two drills (one with a pilot hole drill bit and the other with a phillips bit)
was really handy. Tip: Use some bath bar soap (Irish Spring, Safeguard, etc)
on the long wood screws and they'll go in a _lot_ easier and not tend to strip
out the philips head. I also used the deck screws that come with their own
phillips bit.
http://www.eaa1000.av.org/technicl/worktabl/worktabl.htm
As for compressor, I traded up from an oil-less unit to a 25 Gal, 110V, 5 HP,
belt driven, oil compressor and have been very happy with it. Handles all my
drilling and priming needs w/o any problems....and I still have my hearing! ;)

Ed -
My primary work table is a luan hollow-core door laid across two heavy-duty
folding steel saw-horses. It is smooth, absolutely flat, light-weight,
adjustable height, easy to drill into, will hold a cleco, thin enough to
clamp pieces to, easy to move or take apart. It was also cheap - $20 for a
32" door and $15 each for saw horses. Scraps of 2x6 and carpet screwed to
the tops make the saw-horses even more versatile.
Resist the temptation to buy an oil-free direct-drive compressor. If you
compare Hp ratings and cost, the direct drive units appear to be cheaper per
Hp than the belt-drive units. In operation, the belt drive units are more
efficient, MUCH quieter, run cooler and will last much longer. My neighbors
tell me that my pneumatic squeezer makes more noise that the compressor.
Your ears, your family and your neighbors will thank you.

| Subject: | Noise Canceling Headsets - Was Stop the Noise |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Ken Brooks" <kenbrooks@charter.net>
For those of you about ready to purchase a headset for your RV, you might
consider the DRE 6000. It's one-third the cost of the Bose X and about a
year and a half ago, Aviation Consumer magazine did a comparison of about
six leading headsets and several of the testers liked the performance of the
DRE (comparative "bang for the buck") and felt like it was close to the
noise canceling properties to the Bose X. My partner and I each bought one.
I paid $275 plus shipping for mine about a year ago. Aviation Consumer
still rates the Bose X at the top and likes the Lightspeed line as well, but
they thought the DRE was an excellent value. By the way, during the
building and buying parts process, I found it very helpful to subscribe to
Aviation Consumer Magazine. It's also online at www.aviationconsumer.com
<http://www.aviationconsumer.com/> . I've just about finished buying
things for the RV-8 (whew!), so I let the subscription lapse, but I'm pretty
sure it paid for itself with more knowledgeable purchases, etc., during the
consumer years. Obviously, the RV-list was the BEST source of information
and GREATEST VALUE of all. Thanks to all who contribute good stuff.
As for the other part of the Stop the Noise thread, I agree that we need to
be empathetic with these folks that are obviously upset about our airplane
noise over their property. We are not unreasonable folks, and although I
have a sticker on my airline kitbag that says "I Love (heart) Airplane
Noise!", not everyone shares my enthusiasm. As long as one doesn't crash
into my home, I'd love to sit on my porch and watch somebody practice
aerobatics overhead, but then I'm a hopeless airplane nut. If we can all be
cognizant of others' potential complaints, then we're more likely to think
about noise supression and that's half the battle. The other methods, like
better mufflers, quieter props, fuel injection, etc., are all excellent ways
to chip away at the ol' db's. Having said all of that, there will always be
some who will not be satisfied until every last one of us is grounded, but
to them I say "Pthlbmthpblatt!" (is that how you spell "a raspberry?") --
climbing down carefully off my soapbox before I fall.
Do Not Archive - I think there's plenty of stuff on headsets in the
archives.

John,
What makes you think they are even shipping them? Coates hasn't responded to any
inquiries I've made. The website says shipping third week in April, but the
website has said several things that never came about; many dates come and gone
with no results. I've been waiting for this radio for a long time and have
my panel wired for it, I have a handheld hanging there in the spot for the Xcom.
He also promised to post the users manual on the Xcom website "as soon as the FAA
approves it". He said all FAA approvals were done and it's been a while so
where at least is the manual?
So far it's just been excuse after excuse, similar to the MicroAir transponder
debacle.
If you have some inside information, please share it.
Thanks,
Dave

I am currently running my D&C headsets with the 'ANR Retrofit Kit' off of the panel
mount.
In the past, I have experience 'feed back' when using the updated headsets using
panel or battery power.
I can eliminate the 'feed back', by pulling the headset 'down' and 'back' onto
my ears.
At Sun-N-Fun this year, I spoke with the company representative about the 'feed
back' in my headset.
He indicated that there is NOT enough volume/space between my ear and the speaker.
(I am already using the recommended headset ear cups from Aero Oregon and
do not know of any larger cups on the market)
Has any one else encountered this 'feed back' or a similar problem??

Eddie,
Feedback based on my observations:
- Build at least 2 workbenches. One will hold your bench-mounted tools, and the
other will be your workbench. For the bench-mount tools, I have a 2' x 6' table
up against the wall which works great. For the "work" bench, make it at
least 3' wide. I built mine both 2' wide, and it is really not big enough. When
using the c-frame dimpler, you will really want 3' width.
- As for the compressor, definitely go with the oiled type. They are the ones
with the belt drive. The difference is noise is unbelievable. I originally bought
a direct-drive (oilfree) but sold it for a belt-driven (I was losing my
hearing).

Do you wear glasses............ I had the same problem with a set of
conversion headsets (headset inc. in DC 13.4's). The guys at headset
inc. replaced the mic in one ear cup. The point where the headset seal
rests against your glasses ear piece can also allow noise to "leak" into
the mic area causing the feedback. I'd send them in for
repair......................

--> RV-List message posted by: "ed " <ed_88@hotmail.com>
Thanks to everyone who responded. As always RV-List is proving to be a
great place to get information quickly.
For those who are curious, I have decided to build a 3 x 8 bench, with
no wheels. I don't think I will be moving it often enough to need wheels,
and will not be risking my project moving while I work on it.
I'll also be getting another smaller bench up against the wall to hold
scotchbrite wheel and other stationary tools as the become nessasary.
Probbably next to a pegboard for holding misc. smaller tools.
As for the compressor, everyone recommends avoiding the oil-free type,
so I will definatley do that. People are split about if a big one is really
needed. I plan on starting with a smaller one. If it turns out to be to
small, I'll sell it and get a bigger one.
Thanks again,
--Eddie

It takes a while for the encoder to warm up. Should then show local
'altitude'.
My txp needs to be turned on with button push. Helps you remember to
adjust code.

Bruno, call Garmin and they will email you the installation and setup
manual for the unit. There are a lot of set up configurations for the
unit.
If you simply kill the 327 with the master, it should come back on with
the master. If it doesn't, it is probably a setup command. If you
power down the 327 by pressing its "off" button, it won't come back on
automatically when the master is switched on.

Hi Dave,
I just got off the phone to Michael Coates and I have encouraged him to
put an update onto his webpage about delivery dates etc. They have had a
few issues with some components that didn't come up to speck and had to
be returned to the original suppliers. Because of the size of the
marketplace over here its difficult for small companies to push the
major component manufactures about quality issues. After all if you are
only dealing in quantities of 500-1000 units at a time you are usually
more trouble than your worth to some of the larger companies and they
often take there time responding.
To be fair Michael has not accepted one cent of customer's money in
putting this all together so I tend to cut him a lot more slack when
dealing with him as my alternative is to go out an buy either a Microair
(I find them hard to use in rough air) or a Becker radio (costs an extra
$800 AUD).
Cheers
John Morrissey

John,
What makes you think they are even shipping them? Coates hasn't
responded to any inquiries I've made. The website says shipping third
week in April, but the website has said several things that never came
about; many dates come and gone with no results. I've been waiting for
this radio for a long time and have my panel wired for it, I have a
handheld hanging there in the spot for the Xcom.
He also promised to post the users manual on the Xcom website "as soon
as the FAA approves it". He said all FAA approvals were done and it's
been a while so where at least is the manual?
So far it's just been excuse after excuse, similar to the MicroAir
transponder debacle.
If you have some inside information, please share it.
Thanks,
Dave

You can have it set either way, on with master or on manually. In our Piper
Cheyennes we have them come on with the radio master while on my 8 I have it
stay off when I through the Master switch because I don't have a radio
master. It is a wiring or software setup, forget which it was now.

Michael is a fair guy. I bought a MicroAir radio directly from him (back when
he was allowed to do that) and a T2000 transponder. Delivery wasn't as fast as
I'd hoped but I did receive everything I was promised and wasn't billed until
they shipped.
Mike is a fair bloke. You might think about cutting him some slack.

I need some help from any one out there who has installed the Sam James
plenum on an RV6A. I've installed the plenum (no problems) but can not
install the oil cooler at the angle described behind #4 cylinder because of
the engine mount. The cooler just barely clears the mount without the
'angled spacer' assembly.
Additionally does anyone have pictures of how you modified the Van's cowl to
accept Sam's rings!!
Any help will be appreciated and pictures would be a big-time help!!

Bear with me here for a moment. I'm installing the bottom rudder fairing on
my new 7 rudder. I have the postion light/strobe configuration mounted to
the bottom fairing. I've looked at a couple of sites in regards to the
position of the quick disconnect. If I leave enough wire to pull the
strobe/light setup out to get to the quick disconnect, the rudder will be
permanently attached to the fuselage. I know the number of times a rudder
will come off, owner assisted, will be minimal at best. However, I am
painting everything prior to final assembly so running wire through the
front of the fiberglass to quick disconnects inside the fairing looks to be
not an option. The only way I see to do it is to have the wire exit the
front of the bottom fairing and install a quick disconnect; leave enough
wire so as to allow some rotation and install a quick disconnect on the wire
leaving the fuselage.
Problem here, will a quick disconnect located between the aft VS spar and
the front of the rudder cause weather related or rubbing problems 100 hours
into flying this baby?

I believe that you must press the "ALT" button in the center to show the
altitude. Now read what I write carefully:
You can manually turn on the GTX 327 by pushing the "ON" button. This will
activate the transponder, but will NOT show the pressure altitude on the
screen. If you now push the ALT button, the pressure altitude feature will
show up on the screen.
But here is a much better method to use the GTX 327: You can also manually
turn on the GTX 327 by pushing the ALT button. This will simultaneously
activate the transponder and the pressure altitude feature. This is the
way I turn mine on. A few times I used the former method and forgot to push
the ALT button when I was airborne . I got a call from the Philadelphia ATC
center after one of these flights. They were not happy with me. I then made
the decision to never turn the X-ponder on with the ON button, but only use
the ALT button.

Dana.......Dana.........Dana,
Just leave slack in the wire(s) with a connector inside the fairing. You run
the wires out the bottom of the VS and UNDER the lower rod end bearing and
into the opening in the front of the bottom fairing. You need enough slack to be
able to remove the screws in the light holder (shroud....whatever) then pull
the wire out of the opening to undo the connector. I used a small molex so it
would fit through the hole. You can do this in 'reverse' if you choose......by
leaving to 'long' end of the wire connected to the light and pulling the
connector out of the front of the fairing.....it's your airplane :
). Be sure to
secure the nuts on the light shroud.....I buried them in some flox.....no
problemo'.

Fwiw, ditto. That's exactly what I did on my RV-7 with the original (RV-8
style) rudder. No problems so far, and nothing is "permanently attached."
The light comes out with the 2 screws, then disconnect the mate-n-lok
connectors...light assembly is removed. Pull the rudder right off the
fuselage and the wires/connectors pull out the front of the rudder at the
lower rod end bearing hole. Need to pull the wires back into the fuselage?
Just remove the plastic mate-n-lok shells and the wires/pins will slip right
in through the hole in the VS. No brainer! (20:20 hindsight, of course)
