Five days to BBQ DAY. Please plan to visit with us, eat some BBQ & talk
airplanes.
Location: Slobovia Outernational Airport (MS71) 10 mi north of Jackson
MS on the Memphis sectional
Approx. 4000' usable with decent approaches.
Email me direct for a map if you are driving. (Don't trust the online
mapping services for this one.)
You are welcome to come for the day, or stay the weekend. Just throw a
bedroll in the plane/car & we'll find you a place to sleep that's out of
the heat. If you plan to overnight, please call us at 601-879-9596 or
drop us an email at ceengland@bellsouth.net so we can get breakfast
stuff lined up.
If you've never done any a/c metal work, you can come & play with drills
& rivet guns. Alternative engine discussions will probably revolve
around the Mazda rotary. (Sorry 'bout that. :-) )
No formal seminars, but lots of knowledge is in the air when we have
these events.
Come on down!
Charlie
Slobovia Outernational Airport

--> RV-List message posted by: "Fred Stucklen" <wstucklen1@cox.net>
Richard,
Are you sure it's not the paint on the cowl that is blistering? I had
one small bubble on my RV-6A cowl after running the engine the first
time. It turned out to be a small blister in the paint, probably due to
some trapped air in the fiberglass. I found that pricking it with a
needle and letting it breath solved the problem..

Subject: cowl mysterious pustules
--> RV-List message posted by: "Richard V. Reynolds"
<rvreynolds@macs.net>
After about 6 hours of test flights, my upper cowl has developed
three
mysterious pustules or blisters.
My RV-6A cowl is about 5 years old and is of the "new" epoxy
honeycomb
construction.
The inside was finished with a very thin coat of WEST epoxy and a
high
temperature white urethane enamel.
The outside was finished with a urethane enamel.
The cowl was finished last November in Norfolk, VA, and it has
been
stored in the hangar.
The three blisters are are about 1 x 3, 1 x 2, and 1 x 2 , all
about
1/8 high. There are corresponding blisters on the inside. The
first two
are located at the rear baffling line and the third one is located
between cylinders 1-3 .
It appears that the epoxy glass coating has lifted of the
honeycomb but
I have not pressed so hard as to pop them. The surface of the
blister is
"firm", not real soft and squeshy.
Any thoughts???

Listers--Have checked the archives and can't find this one. Does anyone
know
if the firewall penetration locations on drawing 25 (RV-6) work for the
0-360
A1A? Thanks. --LeRoy Johnston, Columbus, OH, RV-6, firewall forward.
Leroy- Personally, I would not drill any penetrations or mount anything on
the inside or outside of the firewall (including stiffners, doublers, etc)
until I had my engine and all accessories mounted ( including the electrical
system). Fortunately we had not drilled too many holes and therefore were
able to align things much better than the drawings showed.

It was not me. I was flying the B-25 landing and Don Hinz was flying the
Redtail. He said he was losing the engine, Larry Lumpkin was on the ground
in the Gunfighter and told Don to turn on the boost pump, I said get the
prop back, Don said, that is all
done. Larry said, Fly it to the ground Don, Fly it to the ground."
That is exactly what he did.
The airplane landed in a wings level low speed low angle condition, as
survivable as it could be. He hit one tree which took off one wing, and then
another which spun him around and the airplane came to rest on it right side
with both wings severed.
The Crash crews were there with in 4 minutes. Larry took off imeadiately to
locate the wreckage incase the crash crews could not find it, and by the
time he was overhead they were there.
Gerry Beck came down this morning and went with the FAA to the wreckage.
Early indications are that the V drive which powers the cam failed. Both
cams would quit turning and there was nothing that Don could have done but
fly it to the ground. He did that.
Your thoughts and prayer for his family are appreciated. Don would never
forgive us if we let this setback stop the Redtail project which he gave the
last 10 years, and ultimately his life for. With a million bucks and 18
months we could be flying again. Don would want that. Wish us luck. You can
learn more at www.redtail.org

Doug Rozendaal

Hello Doug,
Thank you for posting this, and my thoughts and prayers go up for Don and
his family. I read about this on another forum, and the unanimous opinion
was that he was indeed a hero for avoiding the populated area.
I will spread the word for the Redtail project.

| Subject: | Facet fuel pump failure |
--> RV-List message posted by: Finn Lassen <finn.lassen@verizon.net>
As usual before staring the engine, I turned on both my 40105 facet fuel
pumps.
However, for the first time in 460+ hours, one of them did not start.
I checked voltage across red/black wires to the pump and had 12.7 volts.
Ohm-ing across those two wires (power disconnected) I got some 27K ohms.
Seems awfully high.
Tapped the pump with a screwdriver and reconnected power and it started up.
A couple of times in flight I have noticed momentary pressure drops.
(I have a fuel filter before the pumps. No engine driven pump. Filter
replaced in the last 25 hours.)
Is it possible to have an intermittent failure mode in these pumps?
Archive search only mentions complete failure (transistor blown).
Appeared form one posting that one could take them apart and put back
together again - or should I simple order a new pump?

--> RV-List message posted by: WILLMINCEY@aol.com
Richard,
Sorry to hear about your cowl bumps. I have the same problem. It started
after some glass rework. The only way to stop the swelling was prick/drill a
small hole through one side to relieve the pressure. It would be better if you
could go into the cavity from the inside because it will continue to create a
liquid drainage. This is what happens when the proper amount of hardener is
not used in the layup. I made the mistake of a small hole on the outside.
Its been draining/streaking the cowl every flight now for four years, believe it
or not. You would thing that it would eventually disappear, but heat from
the exhaust pipes causes flow during each flight. Not being a glassworker, I
live with the wipedown after each flight.
If you find an easy/quick fix I would like to know also. Thanks

--> RV-List message posted by: "Stewart, Michael (ISS Atlanta)" <mstewart@iss.net>
I rec'd a direct e-mail from Stu McCurdy inquiring about it. He had no
direct info.
I surfed the web and found this:
http://www.confederateairforce.org/news/
I informed him of this link as he/we were concerned it was you.
then, later, I saw the rv-list activity around it.

I recall recently seeing a canopy someone had done some neat work on it.
Perhaps just the fwd windshield, or perhaps the entire canopy was
special. But it had a neat shape. Slick, lowered I believe.
Could someone reply back with a link, info, or pictures?
Thanks

It is a fly-in that I enjoy attending and have made several of the past
ones. Unfortunately it is the same weekend as Golden West so I will not be
able to attend as I will be taking part at Golden West.
