Hi,
A friend of mine I took to the New England wing of Van's Air
Force fly-in last week is hot to trot to buy a 6/6A/7/7A! He was
all set to buy his third Yak but fell in love with the RV's.
Please, if you know of someone selling, pass on some contact
info?! He's got cash burning a hole in his pocket!
thanks,

Mickey,
I repack them with automotive wheel bearing grease. The female type joints can
be easily re-packed. Remove the related rod, pack grease in the threaded hole
of the joint and re-install the threaded rod. It will force the fresh grease
into the Heim joint. Evidence of this will be seen as the original grease leaking
out of the joint.

I once owned a fleet of Oil Field Rig-up trucks. I had one of my Peterbuilt
conventionals painted Porsche Guards Red, which is the deepest reddest red
there is (IMHO). That truck would literally draw crowds anywhere it was
parked. Tourists would take pictures of it. It was really something to see.
I'll see if I can find a picture to scan and post.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Richard Suffoletto" <rsuffoletto@hotmail.com>
I am not able to get the necessary up travel on the elevators because the most
rear horn hits the rear bulk head just as it reaches the stop. ( 4 degrees short)
Consequently taking anymore off the stop is not going to help. Is it OK to
trim away some of the lower horn to get a few more degrees of travel? Anybody
else run into this?

Are you sure your problem is with "up"? Normally, you must notch the
HS-603PP flange to get adequate down travel, but I don't think there should
be any interference with up travel. I wouldn't touch anything else until
you figure out why your situation is unique. First, though, I'd look at it
again. Remember, when the aileron travels up (up travel), the control arm
(horn?) travels down. That's normally where the clearance problem is and
where the trimming needs to take place. You might have to trim out 3/8" or
so.
Good luck,
Kathleen,

Richard,
I seem to recall that the aft end of one of the elevator horns on my
plane needed to be trimmed for the exact issue you have. The left and
right horns are typically not aligned well with one another, so IIRC
only one needed to be trimmed. In my case, this was not builder
adjustable - the weldments simply were off.

I had to trim the lower rear of the horn a little on my -6 because it
contacted the rear bulkhead before the desired up elevator travel was
reached.

I had to do the same-trim the horn a bit where it contacted the
bulkhead in order to get the req'd. travel. Very little trimming is
required.

DO NOT ARCHIVE I know of a source for electric wheel chairs that are not as
expensive and work like a charm. I watched my friend pull his Cessna 182
into the hanger a week ago, and it was much, MUCH, slicker than a gas powered
tug. Not to mention, you get to ride as well. Total time from unplugging the
battery charger, to hooking up the nose wheel, to tugging, to parking and
repluging the charger was just amazingly short. Supposedly, they have the power
to move a Beech 18. I believe they are wheel chairs that are no longer
"cosmetically" acceptable for use, but I'll tell you I am a believer. My airstrip
is on a flood plain, and I intentionally built a large mound to put my
hanger about 4' high. I taxi the airplane up onto a concrete pad outside the
hangar, but I am always concerned that I am taxiing too close to "things." I
plan on getting one of the wheel chairs myself to prevent hangar rash. If you
don't mind contact me off the list, and I will get the name, and numbers
together tomorrow to reply to you, Les Featherston 417-466-4663

Would you mind very much to make another posting to me or to the list and

I see from some previous postings a company reference, but no part number.
============================================
Actually, I'm slow in responding here because I'm unsure of exactly what
O-ring goes where. You see, four years ago I bought a bunch of O-rings for a
variety of applications on the same invoice. The various O-rings on the
invoice are:
2-006V-75
2-010V-75
2-113V-75
2-216V-75
2-218V-75
I believe that the smaller numbered seals are for inside the master
cylinders and the caliper O-ring is one of the last two P/Ns listed. In 2000
I
noticed during the preflight that my buna-n (nitrile std) caliper O-rings were
seeping/leaking on the ramp at Henderson, NV after two years of flying (FYI, I
have parking brakes). I managed to get home to LVK without a problem, but
when I pulled them, I could see that they clearly had suffered heat distress and
were taking a square set. Viton ones have been working for four years with
zero problems.
Their phone is 408-727-3995. I hope this helps.

Silly question - how are you measuring the angle for travel?
If you put a "smart tool" or equivalent level on the
elevator directly, you will be measuring a lesser
angle than the real travel. I did this for a while
trying to figure out how to get the required travel,
until I went "duh!"
If your plane is level, then putting the "smart tool" near
the counter balance weights is better, or you can level
the elevator, measure the angle, and then measure the
angle with full travel.

Unless I'm missing something, I don't get your logic. If you put a digital
protractor on the surface of the elevator (*anywhere* on the surface), take
a "neutral" reading, and then take the reading at both extremes of travel,
you can determine the angular deflection that way.
The protractor doesn't have to be on the elevator's chord-wise centerline to
be accurate. The top skin on the elevator, for example, is at a *fixed*
relative angle relative to the centerline. If the elevator is deflected 9
degrees upward, the top skin would likewise be deflected 9 degrees.
I could be on crack, however...so correct me if I'm wrong! 8-)
