I have found it very easy and actually refied a couple times as my kit orders increased. I have found it easy, affordable, and a way to get started. I would be happy to fill you in more if needed. My 8 is now complete and ready for first flight soon.

Both prop blades struck t Idler speed. The engine stopped. I had the crank runout check by the local mechanic. It was within limits. I have had 800 hrs of trouble free flying since then. I have all the log books and the mechanics findings. Since then, just a few days ago, there is a new AD for prop strike. Two bolts in the accessory case at the crank gear must be changed. I am told that it can be done without splitting the case (you need to verify). This means that the engine will have to come out for repairs. I have decided in light of the circumstances that I would buy a superior engine with a little more HP and a constant speed prop if, I can get a reasonable price for mine. This engine is perfect for someone building and having it overhauled during the building process.

That is, the six bolts may (in some cases) let the prop go on 6 ways. Actually, there are only 3 ways given the symmetry of the 2 blades. Only one of these ways is correct. I'll leave it up to the experts to tell you which way is right. Dan Hopper RV-7A (Doing taxi testing and waiting for FAA registration. I've been saying "almost done" for the past 6 months!)

I've been flyin' since 1976 (all sorts of aircraft) and I've been fortunate enough not to have ever had a prop related in-flight problem (though I have experienced "the joy" of several engine out/dead stick landings, but like any thrilling story, those take awhile to tell). What I have learned is that every business starts out as a small "garage business", as you referred to them. Even IBM started in a garage in Menlo Park, Ca. The small businesses are the real innovators, they are the ones who bring the best quality and ideas forward at a "competitive" price; because they have to just to survive. The BIG guys usually just kick back and rely on their name. And... you PAY alot of extra $$$ for their name too. I am not knocking the quality of Sensenich or other big names. But I know that there are high quality, reasonably priced competitors that I would rather support. Heck, if I want a Sensenich label on my prop, Sensenich sells their name stickers in various catalogues too. When I ordered my prop from Jay at CloudCars, I knew exactly what I wanted. However Jay also gave me valuable, knowledgeable advice. Now that I have my prop, Jay is insisting that I hook it up and try it/fly it to see if it performs as I expected it to. Then I send it back for final backing and edge protection, and if I need any pitch or other adjustments he'll do that too. Now I will give updates to the RV-list(s) as I go, but it sure is re-assuring that CloudCars is that interested in making certain I am (as Jay has said) "Completely Satisfied" with my new prop. PaceSetter was not a large company, and unfortunately they are no longer in the business (though I know the guy still makes props on the side). But PaceSetter's quality, reliability and name carried a lot of respect from everyone that I've ever spoken with who has flown on their props. It is very unfortunate that it took several years for their name and word of their quality to spread; I think that was a major part of their downfall. I believe CloudCars is on par with the quality and hence the reliability, of PaceSetter and the BIG named manufactures in the production of their props. I hazard to guess that if/when CloudCars gets well known, their prices will certainly rise as the demand rises for their skilled craftsmanship. But the choice is always up to the consumer. By the way, ask Jay if he builds three (3) bladed props, I just got an inquiry about that. Take care, and take to the Air, Chuck p.s. Chris I hope you don't mind, I'm gonna CC a copy to the RV-list(s) because I think this is a valid discussion topic for experimental builders. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Boultinghouse [mailto:sonexbuilder@yahoo.com] Subject: CloudCars prop Hi Chuck, I saw your post on the RV list about the prop you got from Jay at CloudCars. I dropped him a note about a prop for my Jabiru 3300/Sonex combo, and received a prompt reply (and a picture). His prices are reasonable too (about $250 less than a comparable Sensenich wood prop). My problem is that my wife is uncomfortable with the idea of me buying something as critical as a prop from a "garage business". I was hoping you'd be able to offer some insight into the craftmanship and perceived design of the prop. Have you flown yours yet? I'm not averted to spending the money for a Sensenich (or Prince) but I do like to save a buck and help the little guy as long as I'm not risking my butt to do so! Thanks for your thoughts. ===== Best Regards, Chris Boultinghouse Austin, TX Sonex N260SX (reserved) http://sonex260.wheelsup.org __________________________________ http://messenger.yahoo.com/ ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 08:28:38 AM PST US From: Vanremog@aol.com Subject: Re: RV-List: Switches --> RV-List message posted by: Vanremog@aol.com In a message dated 6/10/2004 6:34:21 AM Pacific Daylight Time, DOUGPFLYRV@aol.com writes: Can anyone recommend a source for rocker switches at a reasonable price? ====================================== I bought some from Carlingswitch thru Wicks.

Aircraft Engravers has been engraving the rocker switch operators (the part that rocks back and forth) for years. We have done many different types of switches over the years, however, many of our customers use the Honeywell AML54/56 series switches. They make a quality switch for about $25.00. The operators cost a couple of bucks each and we can engrave the text if needed. There is some information on our website about the AML54/56 switches if you chose to view it http://www.engravers.net/rocker-switches/aml34-36.htm.
