Stand the ladder close to but just far enough away from the prop to avoid accidental contact. Clamp the wire to the ladder or what have you so that it just clears the blade tips Rotate each prop blade to the wire and measure, it will turn easier with the top plugs removed (less chance of moving the airframe) Jim in Kelowna The wiring is done and tested, No Smoke devils escaped :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Travis Hamblen" Subject: RV-List: Prop question... > --> RV-List message posted by: "Travis Hamblen" > > I just got my prop back from servicing.

To check this, remove a plug from each cylinder so the prop is easy to rotate. Then use a chair or some other item as fixed point. Check to see if the tips are the same location when you rotate them. That they miss your fixed point by the same amount. They can be as much as 1/8" difference from your fixed point. 1/16" is better. If the tips don't follow each other (track) the prop will vibrate regardless of balance.

That way I don't need to pull spark plugs or anything or worry about the chair or whatever moving to screw up my fixed reference point. In the case of my slider canopy RV-3, I use a steel measuring tape from the backside of the windshield to the prop tip. Start with the prop vertical. Rotate 180 degrees and do again. Very simple, accurate and done in minutes. Worked well on my old Ercoupe, too. YMMV... if you have a tip up canopy.

This skin is thinner and easier to work on since it is on the outside. I could never imagine installing two grommets here. I would shy away from a bulkhead fitting as it introduces two more failure points. Gary Dan Checkoway wrote: > --> RV-List message posted by: "Dan Checkoway" > > Don't use two grommets.

I installed my transducer between the mechanical pump and the carb. My reasoning was; that's where the manufacturer of my fuel flow wanted it and I also thought that the pulsing from the mechanical pump would negate all the problems associated with running the boost pump. Well, guess what, my fuel flow still goes up with the boost pump on. I only use my boost pump for takeoff and landings, a small percentage of flying time so it is not an issue. My totalizer is consistently less than 1% different than actual used. IMHO the dampener is not warranted. It adds WEIGHT and more complexity in a simple system.

Check out www.airchart.com After years of using Jeppesen IFR charts and buying individual VFR sectionals when needed for local/cross-country flight, this service appears to be a real bargain. Also, no more folding/un-folding sectionals in our smaller cockpits. ALL the charts are one binder! I'm not associated with this service or company in any way.

They are helpful as I had some other problems that they took care of expeditiously. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Dwpetrus@aol.com Subject: Re: RV-List: EIS.

Also, no more folding/un-folding sectionals in our smaller cockpits. ALL the charts are one binder! I'm on my second year using their VFR Atlas. Really nice having all the charts for the entire east half of the US - I never have to worry about not having the right chart, or not being up to date. However, the rather large spiral bound atlas is very difficult to use in a small cockpit. I've stripped the plastic spiral binder off, and punched regular three-hole format holes and used three rings to hold it together. That allows you to remove just the pages you need and have them on your kneepad, and the rest of the book in the back in case you need them but don't have to fight with them all the time. I've inquired with the company about offering a three-hole format, but they are not considering it at this time, unfortunately. Still a great service, although annoying to have to strip and punch my own holes to make it useable in the plane. -Dj ________________________________ Message 19 ____________________________________ Time: 07:41:46 PM PST US From: "Doug Rozendaal" Subject: Re: RV-List: Air Charts --> RV-List message posted by: "Doug Rozendaal" Look inside nearly any airshow airplane and you will see Howie Keefe's aircharts. They are great for old eyes and small cockpits. They come in both sectional 2 books for the country, and WACs 1 book for the country. I flew on the WACs for the last several years, but my bifocals mandated the change to the Sectional books this year. I use the IFR system as well. Highly recommended.

I've been using both for several years and will never go back to individual sectionals or charts (IFR & VFR). Hopefully this good press will give them some more coverage and more people will discover these. They are really a nice addition. Unlike some people, I actually like the spiral binding because I can just flip to the page I need and lay the whole book up on the dash when it's not in my lap. Haven't yet purchased their sectionals, I've been using the WAC version, but the sectionals will be my next purchase! Just my 2 cents.
