Is the elevator attached to the back side of the rear mount or the forward
side?

I was not trying to flame anyone or 'dress anyone down'. I do want you all to
understand what was being said, and it was very obvious that Jim was confused.
I didn't want 1000 of you all to call me asking to remove the medical payments
from your policy.
That simply can't be done, nor would you want to. Medical Payments are included
automatically. What Jim apparently removed from his policy (and what his agent
should have done automatically for him) was passenger liability. If Jim is
the only pilot on his RV-3 and there aren't any non-owner pilots named on the
policy, then there is no passenger exposure.
I haven't even finished reading all the posts about this but from Jim's post I'm
reading now, it's apparent that he still doesn't quite understand what it is
he's removed from the policy gaining him the $300.
Medical payments are included at some limit (with AIG it's $1000 per person) for
free. Increasing it to $3000 or some other limit will normally cost, but you
can't eliminate it altogether from the policy.
Medical payments are designed to be easier to get for minor medical claims. The
insurance company includes it for free along with liability so that someone
(perhaps a family member?) wouldn't have to go to the trouble of suing you because
they twist and break their ankle getting off your plane.
I insure so many RVs that someone posting something like that on a list like this
will surely shut me down temporarily. We just can't handle that many service
calls on top of our normal traffic for something that can't even be done.
I wanted to make sure that everyone (at a minimum those whom I insure) understood
that what he was suggesting wasn't possible. And it certainly wouldn't save
anyone $300.
Jim's is an extremely unique position in that he owns a one seat plane with one
pilot owner listed as a pilot. That's the only reason that he's able to remove
the passenger liability. The companies won't do that for a flying 2 + seat
plane.

Cut him some slack JT. I've spoken to you on the phone and you've dressed me
down for not speaking in the correct terms. We're all pilots and builders here,
not insurance agents. Try to think out of the box a little bit and listen
to what we're trying to say. We're not lawyers (well most of us aren't) so we
don't talk like lawyers.
That's really not a flame. I respect JT for REALLY devoting himself to his chosen
profession. I certainly can't fault his knowledge of the insurance industry.

Wow. You use the wrong term, and I'm to blame. That's new.
Hope the list learned a lesson about dealing with you. I was right all along,
and you cannot admit it. At least I admitted that my mind wasn't open enough
initially to see that you were merely using the wrong term.
If you look back at my original posts, I asked that you verify it with your agent,
but you insisted you had and that you were correct (which you weren't by
the way.)
Perhaps you could have said, "Wow, you are right, I mispoke. There is medical
pay on my policy. I was talking about passenger liability."
How do you feel about your advice to other builders to call and get med pay removed
from their policy? I'm sure glad I was paying attention to the list today.
I hope I saved all my customers, my receptionist and myself 1000 phonecalls.

I've been so defensive that my mind has not been clear to fully analyze what

Yes. How stupid of me to use the wrong insurance term.

Actually it does have medical coverage on it. What it doesn't have is passenger
liability coverage. If you added a pilot friend of yours as a named pilot on
the policy, you'd actually have to add the passenger liability back on.
Medical payments or med pay is included on all policies of this type. You apparently
still don't quite get it. You are confusing med pay with passenger liability.
And I think you'll be shocked to find out that none of the insurance
companies will remove the passenger liability on a flying RV or any type of plane
when it has more than one seat.
Your unique position on the RV-3 is what set up this whole situation. That, coupled
with the fact that you're the only pilot, allowed your agent which you're
so high on to make a mistake (trying to include passenger liability when it
wasn't needed). She apparently then noticed (or you did) and the passenger liability
was removed, in effect saving you $300. (the med pay is still on there.)
I hope I'm clearer this time too.

Hi All,
I received an answer directly from John Helms.
As an attempt to summary today's exchange:
In my original Email, my description of being "without medical coverage" was
totally unacceptable to Mr. Helms.
My description of the "medical coverage" was very poorly written.
As I understood from Mr. Helms comments; a single place aircraft (and
multi-place aircraft always flown without crew or passengers) can have an insurance
policy written with liability coverage, without hull coverage and WITHOUT
MEDICAL COVERAGE.
What John Helms had difficulty getting around to saying is that if passengers
or crew are carried on the aircraft, then the insurance company is required
to provide the medical coverage in the insurance contract.
What is the result of this discussion to me?
My RV-3 insurance is liability coverage only. (The $300. No medical coverage.
No one else flies it.)
My RV-6A insurance includes medical coverage to cover nonowner pilots and
passengers.
My HR2 insurance will include medical coverage. There will also be a supply
of sick sacks. More for the front seat than the passenger. :-)
"med pay" I love those buzz words. Reminds me of when I worked at a big
company.
"med pay" will not be part of any of these policies, unless it is truly free.
According to my policy; if someone is hurt other than the aircraft owner, it
covers the cost of the ambulance ride to the ER. If it is a short ride,
what's left goes towards ER costs only. The aircraft owner is not covered.
(Gee. I sure hope I'm clearer this time.)
As John Helms has already determined, my "little RV-3" and RV-6A are insured
through AIG. My agent is Trish at SkySmith Insurance Agency. (800) 743-1439
I apologize to the list for not saying enough about my insurance situation
for clarity.
And I apologize to the list for the previous exchanges of extreme bandwidth
taken today with no apparent clarification.
Jim Ayers
And I especially apologize to "the kid", Doug Preston, whoever you are. :-)

Be careful to compare apples to apples. Certain functions of the gps a
designed to maintain the radial to the target regardless of the actual bearing.
That is what makes the Hsi function work. Check them against each other by
centering the bar and reusing the direct to key. They should be the same until
you begin to loose course.

Hi Jim,
See the page 7 in your Navaid manual for Fig. 3.=A0 In my manual there are 2
page 7's and 2 Fig. 3's!=A0 You want the one titled "WIRING DIAGRAM FOR
HAND-HELD
GPS AND AP-1 WITH GPS COUPLER."=A0 It shows the Data Out pin of the GPS going
to
pin 8 of the Autopilot.=A0 Ground of the GPS also needs to go to ground of the
Autopilot (pin 1).=A0 You also need to connect 2 jumpers: one from pin 11 to
pin
3, and one from pin 12 to pin 6.=A0 The pins on the GPS you can find in your
GPS manual or on the internet by searching for "Garmin connector."=A0 I used a
twisted pair of wires to make the connection.
A Garmin connector is avaliable at pfranc.com that is only $5 if your GNC
300XL has the same connector as the Garmin 295.
You will need to go to the interface screen on the GPS and enable the NMEA
output.=A0 This causes the GPS to send serial (ASCII) data which the Smart
Coupler
receives and converts to an analog voltage which comes out pins 11 and 12,
and goes back into pins 3 and 6.
Hope this helps,

I'm glad everybody decided to play nice...
I for one learned a little during the exchange... some stuff I really didn't
know about my policy -and that's what it's all about.
As for Jim Ayres -he ain't so old -not enough to be an 'official old fart'
-but nevertheless he has been a part of this list for a *very* long time (longer
than 90% of the current list members I'd be willing to bet) -and his LOM
powered RV-3 is chock-full of innovations that most of us would be hard pressed
to
have come up with. I'd love to hear more about them, personally. I'm glad
you're still here Jim.
Lotsa different personalities here...
It's so hard to check your emotions at the door when you come here -but
that's what we all need to do -whether sending or reading messages...

| Subject: | Cool Collar oil filter cooler. |
--> RV-List message posted by: Lwfeatherston@aol.com
Does anyone have any experience with the "Cool Collar" oil filter cooler?
It is an aluminum part which looks like a corrugated cardboard which wraps
around the oil filter, and is held on with a hose clamp. The Porsche owners and
Muscle Car guys swear by them. Claims are about 10% reduction in temp both
on the bench and on the road. One was a Corvette with a digital oil temp,
and driven on an 85F day the claim was 221F reduced to 201 on the same 35 mile
course with no change except the "Cool Collar." Best price seems to be from
J.C. Whitney (aircraft parts department, just kidding) at $25.99 plus $6
shipping. A friend of mine says his Harmon Rocket II is at least 10F cooler,
but
he has a SCAT tube blowing air on his filter. The d#%m thing looks too
simple to work, but sometimes simplicity is genius. What do you guys think?
See
jcwhitney.com, and type in "Cool Collar" in the parts selection window.

Fellow listers,
Have any of you successfully used either the Aircraft Spruce or Cleaveland vacuum
pump installation tool (wrench) on a B&C SD-20 alternator?
There is one bolt at 7 o'clock that can't be gotten to 'normally'. One lister
made a tool with a 1/4" drive socket and some 1/4" square stock bent to fit so
I know it can be done.....
I've sent mail to both Spruce and Cleaveland without any answers - so far....

Yes, the "Cool Collar" does work. I was fighting higher oil temperatures
than I wanted and put one one. It reduced my oil temp about 10-degrees F.
The real problem was elsewhere but I kept the collar because it does offer a
lot more surface area for the radiation of heat...certainly couldn't hurt
anything.

8 degrees cooler for me. Internal air flow in the cowl can make a BIG
difference in the temp reduction. I imagine air flowing over the Cool
Collar you might be able to get 15 degrees max.

Ralph,
I have the SD-20 on the RV-7 and used the Cleaveland vacuum pump tool.
Worked very well. However, I think it is much easier to mount the SD-20
when the engine is off the mount. Not sure how much access their is for the
wrench with the engine on the aircraft/mount. I'll check it out and let you
know.

I use one as well. It does help! I took off from Las Vegas a couple days
ago in 96 degree heat, full fuel, two aboard plus bags. Climbed at 120mph
and oil got up to 200 deg. F. It used to go 210-220. Other particulars:
seven row Niagara oil cooler on baffle behind cyl 4, Aeroshell W100,
O-360/Lightspeed/Sensenich metal prop.

Not to open a can of worms, but where do you want your oil temps to be? I usually
fiddle with the air door on the cooler if I can't get temps up to at least
180, and I like to see 200-210 in cruise since I know then the water is boiling
off at altitude. Should I be trying to stay below 200??

Thanks Pat! - mine is currently off the mount as you have described - I just
wanted to know if the tool would fit before I bought it.
How did you measure the torque?...or did you just muscle it, paint a dot on
it, and check it regularly?
Looking forward to hearing about that after-mounting access...!

Just wondering about egt's and what is considered a normal range during takeoff--I
am showing in the yellow at about 1450 to 1500 F. I know it is relative to
where the probes are on the exhaust but is the range of temp really a cause
for concern or is it more to look at a departing individual egt from the group?

the frame to exert pressure on the tracks so that the canopy nolonger rolls ,
but scrapes the track and digs into the aluminum. I widened the tracks about 1/8"
on both sides but no joy.I trimmed the rollers , no joy.I bent the bracket
holding the roller, no joy. What's a body to do,start over? I tried bending the
front bow for conformity to the roll bar and broke it and had to have it welded
so I know I don't want to go that route again. Sometimes the head of the
screw digs in, and sometime the shoulder of the bracket digs in.

Hey Dave.......
I should have built a tip over. I am doing my canopy and I am having same frustrations.
The canopy bow is an abortion as it comes from the factory. !/2 inch
off from the windshild bow in some areas. I straightened, rebent, straightend
and rebent and I am almost there now. Then I talk with others who say theirs mated
right up. Oh well I made my mind up a couple of years ago that it wasnt
going to get any trophy's. About the only thing I havent managed to screwed up
on it is the paint--- It is still in the cans. Phil in Illinois
sometimes, I wish I would have left its engine on the Pitt's......

Do you have a fuel flow measurement system? At full power (full rich),
near sea level, you should have around 16 gph for a 180 horse, around
14+ for a 160 horse. In other words, VERY rich of peak EGT. I'll look
tomorrow night at the egt's during climbout.

1450 to 1500 might be a bit high, but what's really
more important is your CHT's. If your CHT's run below
380 at full power/climb power, then you're fine. If
you're CHT's are warmer, you need to have your full
power mixture richened. Once you've established good
takeoff/climb CHT's, then you can note your EGT's and
use those as future reference for ideal takeoff
mixture, & those EGT's will be good target values for
high altitude takeoff leaning.

Ok... Well I wasn't going to post anything about this yet, but with all the
talk about the cool collar oil filter thingy I thought I would go ahead...
I have been working with a friend of mine to develop a new oil filter for
the experimental market... I have a page on my site with some photos and
info, but am not ready to market and sell yet... Soon I hope though!
We have two flying here on my field, one on the new engine in my -8A and one
on a new ECI engine in an RV-4... So far they are fantastic!

Well,
since I use the daily digest I haven't yet heard today's chatter, but I
couldn't resist waiting to post this one.
A buddy of mine took the day off from building his RV7 and popped up to
Mojave to watch and listen in.
Apparently during the descent sometime Mike Neville decided to disengage the
autopilot and commented on how it was flying without it, then he commented
on how neat the Dynon D-10 was.
So, that said, listen up you lurkers from Dynon, I want the first promo
sticker that reads, "Dynon Avionics - First in Space"
Now if Van had been on top of this he could have also paid Mike to blurt out
"What the heck just went over my head??? Dang me Lord, that's an RV passing
on by!"
Congrats D, that's a real cool deal to be the first EFIS in space.
Driving a Dynon in a rocket ship brings to mind a question about an
aerobatic screen option. When one is pointed straight up is it possible for
the D10 to display a red dot on the straight up point and a black dot on the
straight down point? This might appeal to some of the aerobatic folks.
Another option that might appeal to that market would be an aerobatic
setting option that reduces some of the pitch dampening that occurs during a
loop, or rapid changes in velocity.
In fact an aerobatic software version well thought out might have some great
appeal to that market.

Dynon D-10X(Aerobatic)
Dynon D-10S(Space-local)
Dynon D-10SI(Space-Intersteller)

Hey, Bill. The "enlarged" pictures on your web site are the same size
as the un-enlarged pictures (at least on my computer) - both small.
