Unfortunately the charges are based on maximum take-off weight. The
document that details the Nav Canada charges has the following
definition of weight:
""weight", in relation to an aircraft, means the maximum permissible
take-off weight (MTOW) specified in the aircraft's certificate of
airworthiness or in a document referred to in that certificate."

A general question if I can please. I am on the verge of starting an RV9 build
project from the standard kit. My big reservation is that I only have a single
garage measuring 18.5 feet x 7.5 feet. Given that the finished fuselage length
is 20.5, is it wishful thinking that I can complete the task in such a small
place? Has anyone else done this and are there any trick to the trade?

Hi, before I launch into a new build project (in the UK), can I ask if anyone who
has recently completed a kit would consider selling tools to help me out. I
would consider a set from the US if we can sort reasonable shipping costs. A
pneumatic riveter sounds a rather handy tool to start with!!
Thanks

Steve,
I had the same problem last year. Finally took it over
to Muncie Indiana and had an electronic shop look at
it. They found that I had failed to install the snap
ring that holds the antenna wire to the case. My
antenna wire was loose from the back of the
transponder. So I would check and make sure all your
antenna wires are solid.
Good Luck

Can you complete the project in that space? Probably not. However, if
you're motivated, you can build the wings, tail, and fuselage there. Then
you'll need to take the beast outside on a series of nice days to fit the
empennage and wings. With the flying surfaces removed, you should be able
to install the engine in the space you describe.
After that, it is a matter of taking all of the big pieces to the airport
and fitting them together in the shape of an airplane.
The bottom line is that a space that small will make the overall process
more difficult, but it can be done..

No Doubt that will be tight, but I think that it can be done. You'll
probably have to have some place to store the stuff when you finish. Rent
some storage close to home for the tail and the wings as you finish them.
Remember that the finished length of the fuselage includes the rudder,
engine and spinner. My guess is that it'll fit in your space okay until you
are ready to assemble it. Then you'll probably have to move to the airport
and finish in the hangar.
Godspeed,

Dear Jim,
Ask the place where you usually buy your sectionals to hold some old one's for
you after they expire. Because they normally cut off the date part and send it
back as proof that they did not sell (for a refund/credit). The other part of
the sectional get's normally thrown away instead of returned to the supplier.
All you got to do is ask.

Jim,
If we have expired charts left when the new revisions come out, I am always
glad to give them away. However we no longer keep them for that purpose or
advertise their availablility.
I did this a few years ago and it caused too many problems. We'd offer free
expired charts with any purchase (so I'd have a means of covering the
shipping cost) People would request a list of 25-30 free charts and then
I'd get hate mail for the next couple months cause I only had 22-23 of them.
This happened more often than you can imagine. So now, we clip the corners
for credit and use the rest of the chart for box stuffing.
Best thing to do if you want some is write to me 4-5 days before any new set
of revisions comes out and ask to be sent a copy of whatever is available.
No promisses, but I'll be happy to send whatever I've got. But please do so
with an order, even a small one, just so we have a manner to cover the
shipping cost.

I have tried it both ways and prefer the tape on the skirt, since it

--> RV-List message posted by: Emmanuelle Richard <frenchflyer21@yahoo.com>
I'm having the same situation. My set up is GTX 327, Ameriking AK-350 encoder
and blade antenna. All 3 years old.
Noticed the problem first when ATC could not pick me up and asked me to turn my
Xpdr on after T/Off - it was already on mode C the whole time. I checked the
BNC connections and cleaned the antenna. Another time ATC asked me to confirm
what altitude I was at and to turn off mode C. I noticed the "pressure altitude"
window indicate erratic altitudes once in a while, like you are at 2200ft
and it cycles through 1300, 6700, 5900, and settles on 2200. Also the (R) that
flashes on/off when the xpdr is interrogated does not flash as fast as it
used to. Anyway, problem appears to be intermittent.
I heard that Ameriking encoders tend to be the weak link. Would appreciate input
on that.

Jim,
Here's another suggestion. The huge wall charts you see at some FBOs are called
JNC charts. Three make up the country (east, central, and west). they are
not expensive. The set of 3 is just $12.50. They show airports, VORs, some special
use airspace, and terrain. They are not revised very often, so you can't
use them for navigation, but they are perfectly good for initial planning.
Also, WACs are good for planning and have a 12 month revision life, as is a current
IFR/VFR planning chart, but those only show airports and airways - not terrain.
All three types are in the "other charts" section off of the Nav Charts category
on both Builder's Books and PilotsBooks

I had sent you another email through one of the web sites before reading this
email. Sorry that folks send "hate mail". There's no excuse for that. For
the sake of your sanity, I will order from you through the web site, sectionals
I need that "will not" expire before or during my planned excursion. I will
just have to go down to the FBO and do some planning with the old charts on the
"wall", even if I need a ladder. They will not mind, since I am the one that
gave them most of those old maps. Just "can't wait" to formulate a "trip plan",
even though I "know" there will be changes along the way.
Thanks

My pressure altitude indication is pretty consistent. No problems there.
Its a tough problem to solve because recently the radar system has been
changed in this area. We are interrogated with 3 different
radars now all feeding into 1 system. Hard to say whos doing the
interrogation. I'll try calling different radar centres tomorrow
and see if anybody get me. I've always hated BNC connectors. That tiny pin
is side is not the best as far as I'm concerned. My
radio antenna has a screw terminal on it and its the best I've seen by far.
I'll try the BNC connection on the back of the transponder first.

Steve: I had a similar problem with my transponder, I tried every thing, it
would work fine on the ground with the test box connected. In flight no
reply, finally I checked the BNC connector at the antenna for the second
time. It had failed to the point you could pull it out of the connector.
It seems the vibration on the floor made the connection fail. Man it was
sure frustrating. Do not give up on the antenna wire connector.

>> Can you complete the project in that space? Probably not. However, if
you're motivated, you can build the wings, tail, and fuselage there. Then
you'll need to take the beast outside on a series of nice days to fit the
empennage and wings. With the flying surfaces removed, you should be able
to install the engine in the space you describe. <<
You will vastly improve your capability to finish your project with greater
quality if you configure your project environment to be as comfortable and
as accommodating as possible. You will spend a lot of time there. Make it
an enjoyable experience.
I can't imagine how you can make a plane in an 18.5' x 7.5' garage. I'm 95%
done on the same RV-9A. At the time that you "flip the canoe" so that the
fuselage is right side up you will still be near the beginning of the
project. BTW: You have to put the engine mount on before you do the legs.
The legs and steps use up all of your 7.5'. Do you plan to put primer on
your metal? You will need a safe place nearby - with a separate breathable
air source, to prep and paint both large and small pieces. You will also
need a work bench where you can run a bench grinder, drill press, etc. It
needs a runout area. You will also need a work table for most of your work.
Many things are done "in assembly" or require detailed fitting. Takes work
space and walk around space. Needs to be near the project. Do you plan to
use air tools for painting and assembly work (where will you put the
compressor?). Where will you put your file drawers for parts and hardware?
Needs to be near your work table and the project. Where will you be able to
lay out one or two drawings, the parts, the tools, the builder's manual and
the hardware as well as be able to work on the assembly at the same time.
Do you have room to sit down (concrete floors are hard)? Can you make a
coffee, have a visitor, play a radio, etc., etc.? Building is a lifestyle
that will define your life. Increase your odds of completing your plane as
well as having fun.

Subject: | Airflow Performance (AFP) fuel hose routing |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Jordan Grant" <gra9933@bellsouth.net>
Listers:
I am working on the fuel system for my Airflow Performance Fuel
Injection. My XP-360 came from Aerosport power with the "distribution"
manifold already mounted on the top of the engine. It has a fuel hose coming
out of the bottom of it and routed down between the two cylinders on the
right side of the engine. My question is:
How should I route this hose to get to the AFP throttle body?
Right now, my best theory is to take it aft immediately under the
cylinders - this puts it in-between the cylinders and the intake manifold
pipes. Then route it over the bracket that mounts the mixture control and
into the fitting on the throttle body. My only concern is that this makes
some relatively sharp bends in the hose. I don't 'think' that there are any
kinks in the hose this way, but its a pretty important hose so I thought I'd
ask to see what others have done in case there is a better way.
Thanks in advance,

Jordan,
Typically that hose runs straight down from the flow divider to the injector
servo and has a 90-degree bend on the bottom end. Will your setup not
permit a straight-down run between #1 & #3?
If the hose you have doesn't work and you need a custom hose, I highly
recommend PHT (Precision Hose Technology). http://www.aircrafthose.com The

Dan,
Thanks for the reply. My installation does have the vertical induction.
The
outlet fitting is on the aft side of the throttle body, pointed upwards. The
engine came with the hose routed straight down between #1 and #3 - but I
can't hook it up to the throttle body by going straight down unless I kind
of go under the throttle cable linkage, around the throttle cable arms, and
then put a mighty twist in the hose to get it to hook up to the outlet
fitting. The OTHER problem with this is the hose is pressed up against one
of the exhaust pipes. It is firesleeved - but it didn't seem prudent to push
my luck by pressing this hose against such a hot part of the engine. I saw
your pictures, and it seemed like a different problem for you since the
outlet fitting was on the side of the induction, not the back.
Oh yeah - I could rotate the throttle body 180 degrees and put the outlet
in front, but then my control arm throws would both be backwards.
Thanks for your help,
Jordan

You might check ebay. I got a pretty good deal on a pneumatic squeezer up

Hi, before I launch into a new build project (in the UK), can I ask if
anyone who has recently completed a kit would consider selling tools to help
me out. I would consider a set from the US if we can sort reasonable

with!!

Do you know for a fact that the alternator has ever worked? Stated
differently ...
Did you **just** start the engine, using a fully charged battery and the
voltage thereafter showed 11.5 with no change?
Do you have anything that measures either the amperage out of the alternator
or into the battery?
Kim,
Do you have a good connection for the alternator "field" wire? When you
switch the alternator on (or is it always "switched" on?) do you see **ANY**
change in voltage?
Sorry to try to answer with so many questions but the answers may help find
the answer.

Jordan,
I would do your best to keep that hose run as short and straight as humanly
possible. That's metered fuel in there, and any length or complexity you
add to that run is going to have an effect on throttle & mixture response
(at least I assume it will). It will also increase the potential for vapor
lock. I wouldn't even think about twisting and curving that hose
(especially near exhaust) if you have an alternative. Straight up is best.
The AFP manual indicates that the servo can be mounted at any attitude or
angle. I would explore other mounting options if that's a possibility. You
might be able to mount it 90 degrees rotated from where you've currently got
it, and that will solve the hose problem. Of course that might cause other
control linkage challenges, but those are relatively easy to solve. In case
this is any consolation, I got my engine from Bart with the FM-200 installed
already, hose connected, etc. -- but I ended up having to rotate the servo
90 degrees to make things work.
Scott Bilinski has a very similar engine setup as you, I believe. AFP on a
vertical sump. I think he monitors this list...
Best of luck,
)_( Dan

Subject: | Removing Cherry Rivets? |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Stein Bruch" <stein@steinair.com>
Hi Greg,
There are basically two or three ways to remove a cherry rivet. It depends
on the type of cherry rivet and the material they are made of (yes Virginia,
there are MANY different types of "Cherry" rivets). In almost all cases,
the pin is some variant of steel, and if you simply try to drill it without
removing the center pin, you'll make a mess.
Method #1: For button or countersink head soft metal cherry rivets.
With a backing of some sort, try to drive out the pin from the front, then
drill off the head VERY carefully. May have to be done at a slight angle to
keep the rivet from spinning...then remove like a normal rivet.
Method #2: For button head hard metal rivets.
Drive out the pin as described above if possible. Some cherry type rivets
have captive pins and that's not possible, so the only alternative is to
grind off the head with either a sanding type disc/barrel, or a pointed
rasp/stone on a dremel. Be VERY carfull with doing this, and don't grind off
all of the head. Basically you should leave a few thousands of material
before you get to the base metal that was riveted. Then you should be able
to punch the rivet out.
Method #3: One of the best removal methods if access to the back side of
the rivet (not usually possible, hence the use of a "blind rivet")....but,
you can cut/snip/grind the back of the rivet off and drive it out from the
back.
Hope this helps......
Cheers,
Stein Bruch
