Hi ...
I have a question about flying off gravel strips. I am planning to fly to Alaska
from Massachusetts in a few weeks in a Van's RV-6A. I'm assuming I should
remove the wheel pants. Should I also remove the gear leg fairings? I wanted
to get advice from people who fly there about the best tradeoff between operating
from gravel versus keeping the drag down with the fairings. I would only
be going to major public airports, not real back country strips, but still
places like Northway are gravel.
Second, any RV-ators along the Alaska Highway or in Fairbanks / Anchorage area
who would like a call or visit on the way?
Thanks!

I have been using the charts for years, last year I purchased the East
Sectional the only problem I see is they are so thick and heavy. The
sectional is about 1" thick, they work well though.

Another happy customer...
5 years now using aircharts in my RV-4. The *only* way to go in a small RV
cockpit. I personally love the spiral bound format -easy to flip through and
lays on my left or right leg. Page numbering system makes finding the page you
need easy.
I was using the VFR Atlas (WAC charts) but have switched to the east and west
Sectional Atlases.
Several friends use the IFR system and are happy wih it -though it is much
more cumbersome -as it uses NOS plate books -but it's still one of the most
cost-effective systems going.
I have an (aluminum) 'pocket' I made against the fuse side behind the -404
bulkhead just for the purpose of putting a chart book when it's not out on my
leg. Very slick.

I want to find a 122-tooth large pulley ring gear for my O-320. Would
prefer to buy outright but will consider swapping my small pulley if you
have an O-320 and want your alternator to turn a little slower.
Reason: I want to install an MT electric prop and Im told that requires
the large pulley I would prefer to adapt the prop controls to my current
ring gear to save wear & tear on the alternator, but that apparently isnt
possible.

Leave them on. The worst gravel damage I suffered in my 6A was from taking
off on a gravel strip with no wheel pants. Rock almost punched a hole right
through the belly. As long as you have reasonable clearance between the
ground and the bottom of your pants you won't have a problem. Also if you
have to land on dirt or gravel and its wet, you won't believe how much mud
can collect on the bottom of the wing. I leave mine on all summer regardless
of gravel, grass or dirt. Just take them off for the winter...

See, if the district would be willing to buy it for 1/2 their assessed
value{:>). More seriously, perhaps their decimal point slipped a bit. I
would think an argument could be made that a Kit is simple an assemblage of
parts, certainly not worth more than you paid for the pieces. Unless there
is a "Value Added" tax in Texas on kits, I would assert that until it
receives an airworthiness certificate from the FAA then it is technically
not an airplane. It worked for me during the years it took to complete my
kit. But, then I wasn't in Texas

Looking for something similar to this for my -8A, but wondering about
the prop strike. Since you've put 800 hours on since, I imagine it wasn't
too bad, do you have more detail on it?

Bruce,
When I got my N number, I called my plane a Gummo Special. The tax board
never knew what to do about that and used my construction loan as the value
of the plane.
However, 295,000 seems a little high. :-)

--> RV-List message posted by: "Cory Emberson" <bootless@earthlink.net>
Hello!
I'm writing an article for Kitplanes magazine about financing for
homebuilts, and just got off the phone with the President of First Pryority
Bank in Oklahoma. We spoke quite a bit about RVs, given that is the ONLY
kind of experimental aircraft they will finance. Van has built up such
long-standing reputation of quality and reliability ... They pretty much
only finance the fastbuild kits, which gets their collateral out of their
hair sooner.
Has anyone had any experience in financing your RV kit, and would you care
to share that experience? Also, if you've had the experience of financing an
already-completed RV, I would love to hear from you as well.
Thanks so much! If you care to contact me off-list, my email address is
cory@lightspeededit.com or kpl@lightspeededit.com. My "list" email address
is bootless@earthlink.net.
Best, Cory

I have a friend here who is trying to time his new RV-6A with LASAR
ignition................... without a timer. He wants to know if there is
anyone locally who would be willing to loan him one. I have no idea what it

Hi All,
I have decided that buying makes more sense than building for me at this time in
my life and have decided to put my RV-7 tail kit up for sale.
It's a new, unstarted prepunched kit with the electric trim tab upgrade and is
still boxed and strapped the way it came from Van's. It was never opened. I
will also include the preview plans set and will assist in any way in any transfer
of ownership documents that Vans might want.
I will deliver anywhere in the ROC / SYR / BUF area for free and will ship anywhere
in the US for actual shipping charges.
The kit is listed at the Van's website for $1425.00 plus $240 for the electric
trim option.
price: $1300
Please send me an email if interested.
Thanks!

I haven't tried to finance a kit, but my 1st RV-4 was financed by my
credit union at work. The interest rate & term of the loan was the same
as for a boat or an ... RV. The short amortization period made the note
a little higher than a 10-15 year loan, but I had no desire to finance
an a/c over such a long period anyway. All they required beyond normal
stuff was an appraisal from an a/c appraiser since they had no 'blue
book' to follow like for cars and ...RV's.
Since it was a credit union, the rate was actually better than the rate
for used factory a/c at the time.

My message:
I want to find a 122-tooth large pulley ring gear for my O-320. Would
prefer to buy outright but will consider swapping my small pulley if you
have an O-320 and want your alternator to turn a little slower.
Reason: I want to install an MT electric prop and I'm told that requires
the large pulley. I would prefer to adapt the prop controls to my current
ring gear to save wear & tear on the alternator, but that apparently isn't
possible.
Thanks Johnny Johnson

That should be "flywheel" I guess... I need the whole business that goes
behind the prop :=))

Hi Randy:
You will find that most of the gravel runways in the arctic and along the
Alaska highway are well maintained. I have flown my 6 as far north as the
arctic islands leaving the wheel pants on with no problems.
The main concern is prop damage and this can be avoided by restricting the
RPM to max 1200 while taxiing.
on gravel. If there is no paved run-up area or pad I run at 1000 till I get
minimum oil temp, check the mags at 1000 and go. On take-off I open the
throttle gradually until around 30-40 before going to full throttle.
If I have any concerns about the mags I will check them on the downwind leg
before landing.
Hope this helps

Alaska from Massachusetts in a few weeks in a Van's RV-6A. I'm assuming I
should remove the wheel pants. Should I also remove the gear leg fairings?
I wanted to get advice from people who fly there about the best tradeoff
between operating from gravel versus keeping the drag down with the
fairings. I would only be going to major public airports, not real back
country strips, but still places like Northway are gravel.

| Subject: | lectrical planning per Aeroelectric |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Ross Schlotthauer" <rv7maker@hotmail.com>
Hi All,
I thought that I had my electrics all layed out, and mostly installed until
I started wondering about my e-bus architecture. Per Aeroelectric figure
Z-11, Bob puts a s*&% load of stuff on the e-bus and runs it all off a 7A
fuse. What the heck? And the feed from the main bus, through the diode is
on 16 GA wire (11A max). What am I missing? My layout is more like Z-11 for
the all electric variety, but I would think that I need to size wire, fuses,
switches, and diode for a situation where everything is on. Is this a
difference in fuse ratings and actual loads?
Thanks,
Ross Schlotthauer
