Walt,
No cracks so far (2 Blade) but we did wrap the front buldhead mounting plate
with elec tape to provide a little vibration isolation between the spinner
and bulkhead.
Good luck,

--> RV-List message posted by: Tedd McHenry <tedd@vansairforce.org>
I'm looking for photographs for 24 Years of the RVator, a book of articles from
Van's newsletter (the RVator). I need photos of instrument panels showing some
of the newer instruments on the market (EFIS displays, engine monitors, etc.).
I'm also looking for a dramatic photo of an RV for the cover. I prefer an
air-to-air shot for the cover, but any dramatic shot of an RV might be
suitable.
If you'd like to submit a photo, please email it to me off-list at
tedd@vansairforce.org -- JPEG if possible, but I can convert most file formats.
For the panel photos, a resolution of 0.5 megapixels is adequate. For cover
photos the resolution should be as high as possible, but you can send me a
lower resolution version for evaluation.
If we use your photo, copyright will transfer to the publisher (Aircraft
Technical Book Company).

"SURVIVAL kit must include: half-pint flask of Hiram Walker Apricot Brandy- if
it survives the landing, it's the first thing you'll reach for- if not, you won't
need it anyway..."
With all due respect, I for one (as a low time pilot) would have to say if both
the Brandy and I survived the landing, it would be the second thing I reached
for. The first being one of those spare paper towels.

This info is in the archives, but I have found 1/16" stainless welding
rod to be a great replacement for the original pins in the fuel caps. It
is softer than drill rod which means you can quickly make a replacement
on the ramp with a decent pair of cutting pliers, but it will stand up
to years of use. I carry a 6" length in the flight bag along with the
pneumatic squeezer and spare exhaust system. :-)

I live downtown Chicago in a 500 sq ft studio apartment and had the same
dilemma. I had a 6 tail kit still sitting in the original box for 2 years.
I ended up selling the tail and buying an unfinished kit. I thought this
would save a ton of time so I somewhat moved back to my airline "crashpad"
where I had an unbelievably great option for help and tools at an airport.
I could easily commute between there and my apartment. I found that in my
infatuation with finishing the airplane I spent very little time in my
apartment.
Now, with all of that being said, if you're planning on living in an
apartment complex or even worse, a high rise in downtown NY, as they say,
"fugetaboutit".
On the positive side, I would look for local garages for rent. I ended
going garage to garage with flyers requesting to rent. Unfortunately it
didnt work for me but it was worth the effort.
If you have to drive for a while to get to your project, I think you'll find
it not to be a problem. You'll have plenty to think about during your
drives. There will be many tasks you can work on at the apartment during
the week. Pack a lunch and head out for the shop on the wknds. You may be
surprised to find how much gets done when you're away from distractions.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Van Heuveln" <lemar@alliancecom.net>
I'm located in NW Iowa, about four hundred miles from Oshkosh. I'm considering
inviting RVrs who want to camp to spend the night here. We're on a private strip
(7IA2) with 2200' asphalt and 3400' excellent turf runway. I have a couple
of acres of backyard for camping, would set up a BBQ grill for cooking and have
a couple of bathrooms with showers.
My thought is to make this invitation for 7/21 thru 7/27 ( I leave for OSH on 7/28).
Questions: Is there any interest from RVrs from the West who would like to spend
a night about two flight hours from OSH? If so, how many? When? Since we haven't
done this before, what other amenities do we need to provide? Other suggestions
are welcome.

As a former search and rescue helicopter pilot for a major law enforcement agency
in AZ I have been involved in lots of searches.
A short list of stuff you need in your survival kit when you may have a forced
landing is some water and a "Hot Pink" thong bikini. Just wave the bikini in the
air, it is like a GPS signal to a cop pilot. You'll be found in minutes.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Ross Mickey" <rmickey@ix.netcom.com>
David,
I installed mine in a twisted position to match the angle of my
arm/wrist when my elbow is on the arm rest. This is a very comfortable
position and I have not found any drawbacks. A friend of mine installed
his straight on and I did not like how it felt.
I trimmed my stick down so it would not interfere with my instrument
panel that is deeper than stock. In reality, I don't think this is
needed as I can not imagine a situation where I would move the stick
that far. I would recommend trimming it to make it a comfortable
height.

I am installing Infinity control grips in my RV6, I notice from a few
photos from my visits to Oshkosh that some builders fit it offset,
rather than level across the aircraft Can I have a few opinions from
both camps. IE, does it cause problems with your wrist , sitting in my
aircraft with my arm on the arm rest it seems that there is quite a bit
of angle needed in the wrist joint... Also, what is the optimum length
for the control stick.

On the issue of cutting down the front stick. We keep ours as long as
possible to clear the panel with our thumb on the top coolie hat switch of
the grip.
We DID cut down the length of the rear stick - That way we could over
leverage the rear stick from the Front. (don't remember who suggested this
about 4 years ago) but it's a good safety feature.

Mount Sanderson: That's what we call our mountain of overstocked Jeppesen
Flightbags in the corner of the warehouse. These are medium sized, nicely
constructed flightbags which normally sell for $40 or which are included as
part of the various Jeppesen pilot training and maintenance kits. They have
a main center section and a series of pouches on the outside for charts,
pens, flashlights, and other quick needed items. They are big enough to
store most of the spare parts and tools we've been talking about the last
couple days. (except maybe not Sam Buchanan's spare exhaust system). I've
got about fifty I can let go for $20. Write back off list in the next
couple days if you want one.
While I'm at it, I'm also way overstocked on CSG (E6B) manual flight
computers. These are the sliding computers that tell you wind correction
angles, density altitude, lots of conversions, and other in-flight
navigation problems. Most of us haven't used these since passing our check
rides, however if you still like them as a backup, I've got about twenty of
the nice metal kind I can sell for $20 each (half the normal retail). And,
if you don't remember how to use them, they do come with a manual. Write
back off list or call in the next couple of days if you want one
Thanks for putting up with this mindless profiteering.

Oddly enough I picked the right side to do first and it went right in. But the
left side does not want to fit unless I drill and remove the F-902-L bulkhead.
The forward leg of the mount is keeping it from dropping down the the cut hole
for the gear tube. See pics of problem here. If I have to drill rivets and
remove bulkhead so be it, but if someone has good info on doing it easier I'm
all for it. I didn't buy a QB so I could take it apart.

Can anyone offer any advice (or personal experience) about whether it is

I'm building a VFR-only RV-8, and I'm going to buy a vertical card mag
compass. Specifically, I'm interested to hear if anyone has any problems with
compass inaccuracy when it's in the panel (due to electromagnetic
interference), as opposed to when it's on the glareshield.
Thanks.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Patrick Kelley" <webmaster@flion.com>
I'd have to say that that's a bit negative. Seems there was a guy working
on his RV while living in a stateroom aboard a warship. I forget the
details, but it was reported either on the list or in the RV-ator.
On a more practical note, see my website (www.flion.com). My tail and wings
were built in the living room of my apartment. I had a hiatus afterward, as
I was unable to find a garage for my fuselage, but the apartment I am in now
has one and the project is slowly going forward. I hope to be in a house by
year end, and no more obstacles. I could have waited, but then I would be
that much farther behind...

I live downtown Chicago in a 500 sq ft studio apartment and had the same
dilemma. I had a 6 tail kit still sitting in the original box for 2 years.
I ended up selling the tail and buying an unfinished kit. I thought this
would save a ton of time so I somewhat moved back to my airline "crashpad"
where I had an unbelievably great option for help and tools at an airport.
I could easily commute between there and my apartment. I found that in my
infatuation with finishing the airplane I spent very little time in my
apartment.
Now, with all of that being said, if you're planning on living in an
apartment complex or even worse, a high rise in downtown NY, as they say,
"fugetaboutit".
On the positive side, I would look for local garages for rent. I ended
going garage to garage with flyers requesting to rent. Unfortunately it
didnt work for me but it was worth the effort.
If you have to drive for a while to get to your project, I think you'll find
it not to be a problem. You'll have plenty to think about during your
drives. There will be many tasks you can work on at the apartment during
the week. Pack a lunch and head out for the shop on the wknds. You may be
surprised to find how much gets done when you're away from distractions.

I just confronted the same situation a few days ago. What finally solved the
problem was a combination of:
1) Trimming a bit off the aft end of the 717 lower longeron
2) Trimming a tiny bit of the aft end that sticks up on the 772B Floor
stiffener
3) Drilling out three nutplates on the 704 fwd bulkhead
4) Slightly enlarging the oblong hole for the gear leg in the bottom skin
That fwd gear leg has to go behind the 904 bulkhead first
Hope this helps,

Bill,
You can park your 8A in my hangar overnight. My 6A should be gone that
night and even if I am there we can probably squeeze you in.

A short list of stuff you need in your survival kit when you may have a
forced landing is some water and a "Hot Pink" thong bikini. Just wave
the bikini in the air, it is like a GPS signal to a cop pilot. You'll be
found in minutes.

My PAI-700 is mounted top center in the panel, right above Microair 760 and
T2000. Haven't seen it flinch yet and it points the way well... Precision
warns to not mount these in the panel (buy their mount instead!) but I've seen
many in many different positions (in panel) and haven't heard any complaints.

Several more things to put in the tool kit:
1. How about a deck of cards? Try starting a game of Solitaire and see
how long it takes to get someone looking over your shoulder telling you what
to play next.
2. How about a prophylactic (non-lubricated)? For twenty years, I taught
survival training in the squadron and we always had one in the ejection seat
survival kit. We were told that it could work as a water bag if you find a
source of water. We would carry it in the helmet to keep it from breaking.
You know, the wives bought this hook, line, and sinker. :-)
3. Name tags, we don't need any stinking name tags (stolen from Blazing
Saddles and name tags replaced the word badges). I was in one squadron in
which everybody had a "ART BAKER" name tag. It was funny to be sitting as
the duty officer and someone from another base would call and say that Art
Baker was a bad boy in the officer's club and needed to be punished. Of
course, we assured them that it would be taken care of and rarely did
anything make it up to the bosses.
One of my favorites was "RANDY MANN". I used it Europe all the time but
mostly in England or at a British base. Randy is a term used by the British
to mean HORNY. Got many a look while wearing it.
"BEN PASTEDOVER" was another of my name tags. I got to wear it once I
had "been pasted over" for Lt. Col.
I know of several more but they are on the adult side so I will not
bring them up on this GP forum.

I have a little gov't issue nav bag for home-based flights.
Inside:
A couple of old, tattered sectionals (DC, LA, KC and STL)
Nasty foam earplugs
Timer with dead batteries
7 year old jar of once-strong sunscreen
A piddle pack from my 'secret stash' or a diaper in a ziploc
An opaque Hefty bag (think full-body sic-sac)
$1.73 in assorted loose change
3-4 5x7 cards and pencil with broken lead
Dirt
In my flight suit I always carry my wallet, a cellphone,
and a Phillips screwdriver that doubles as a canopy breaker.

When using a blind rivet to substitue for an AN426AD3-X flush head rivet
does anyone have a preference on these two alternatives? The MK319 needs to
be drilled out to 7/64" so that's one negative from the get go. Which one
lays more flush and looks better?
