Jim,
I was thinking handheld GPS in my reply. Glad that you were able to get it
connected. You don't need the smart coupler for the GNC 300XL. Maybe you can
sell it to someone without a panel mount GPS. Its just a small board added
inside the Autopilot head.

--> RV-List message posted by: Bruno <rv4@videotron.ca>
Hello Bill
I've been flying behind a 3 bladded Catto Prop on my RV-4 for
the last 3 years and I can tell you that I wouldn't trade it for any wood
or fix pitch metal prop for all the gold in world (Well maybe for all the
gold in the world).
It is very well built and very smooth compared to my previous
wood prop ( B.Warnke) and the better ground clearance is a plus on gravel
or dirt strip.
Craig Catto has been very nice to deal with but expect a 2.5
to 3 months delivery window.Specially before the Reno Races which keep Craig
pretty busy.
Hope it answered some of your questions.
Cheers

The location of homebuilt camping is new this year. They created an
area for camping which is immediately west of the area used for RV
parking the past few years (in the old red lot auto parking.) It is for
all homebuilt types, and is first come, first served. There will be
showers and porta-potties (we call 'em Glasairs) in the area.
For the past few years, homebuilt camping has been allowed down in
Antique/ Classic at the south end of the grounds, and I imagine you
could camp there as well this year. Just be sure to read the Notam and
have the appropriate sign in your window so the ground volunteers know
where to direct you.

In order to remove the forward baggage door hinge pin from the engine compartment
of my RV8A, I'm going to have to file a groove about half the thickness of
the flange of the cowling top attach hinge in order to provide enough bend relief
to remove and insert the pin. In your experience, has such a thing posed
a hazard to the integrity of the cowling attachment? Has another approach to
engine-side removal made this unnecessary?

My 0-360 has developed a slight stumble as I throttle from idle past 1500 rpm.
It happens every time, regardless of the mixture setting or how fast throttle
is applied. There is no stumble when reducing power, and I can hold smooth power
at that 1500 rpm mark. Power is smooth and consistent in all other modes.
The engine is carbureted with a 20 hour old Slick mag on one side and a 20 hour
old Lightspeed on the other. Compression is good. Timing is good.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andy

Sounds like the accelerator pump in the carb or a blocked passage in the venturi
of the carb. There are three small holes in the main venturi body of the carb
that work to provide a smooth idle and to meter fule smoothly as the butterfly
valve opens during acceleration. If one of those is blocked it could cause
a problem. The accelerator pump might also be defective in the carb and that
would produce the same symptom.

I can't speak for the new homebuilt camping area, but having used both the
North 40 and the Showplane camping area, my preference is Showplanes if I
can get the airplane parked there with adjacent space for a tent. The
Showplanes location is very good. Convenient to everything. However, if
there is nowhere to put the airplane in the "Showplane" area, and you decide
to park elsewhere and camp in "Showplane", you'll be in very tight quarters.
There simply isn't much space, but because of the convenient location, there
are a whole lotta tents packed into the limited space. Not the best of
situations.
If that was my only Showplanes option, I'd choose the North 40.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Kyle Boatright" <kboatright1@comcast.net>
How 'bout some thoughts on what to keep at the hangar for routine maintenance on
the RV. My tools are currently spread out at three different locations and
I need to do something to increase the current near-zero probability of having
the right tools in the right place at the right time.
Here is my first pass. The idea is to have the essential tools to maintain the
airplane, including condition inspections.
Hand Tools:
Wrenches - open and box end - 1/4" to 1".
Sockets 1/4" to 1",
Rachet Drives - 1/4" & 3/8"
Torque wrench for prop bolts
Screwdrivers - Phillips & Slot
Offset screwdrivers - Phillips & Slot
Safety Wire pliers
Safety wire (.032 & .040)
Side cutters
Battery operated screwdriver.
Inspection Mirror(s)
Ball peen hammer
Lubrication:
Grease gun.
Oil funnel
Oil drain pan
Hose to fit sump quick drain
Miscellaneous:
Mineral Spirits for cleaning greasy stuff
Cleaning cloths
First aid kit.
Flashlight
Battery Charger
Creeper
3' x 6' workbench w/ vise
Inexpensive multi-meter
Environment Modification:
Lighting - Portable Halogen
Lighting - Flourescent drop light
Heater - Gas fired
Undercarriage Maintenance:
Jack apparatus for main gear.
Baby powder for new tubes
Air source for inflating tires.
Pressure gauge
Valve stem extension.
Brake pad rivet tool
Consumables:
Paper towels
Trash bags
Oil
Oil Filters
Grease
Zip Ties
Manuals:
Electroair
Lycoming
AC 43.XX
Other:
Compression test rig - borrow or rent
Mag Timing Rig - borrow or rent
I left off the "luxuries" category because it tends to be excessive...

Why not change your approach? Bring all your tools to the hangar then figure
out what you need elsewhere. There is benefit to being able to say "Gee
honey, all my tools are at the airport. I'll get to it later."

The problem with leaving all of my tools at the airport is that without my
tools (which facilitate home improvement projects), the wife would make me
do real work - like cleaning or something.
I know which I prefer.

In Australia we buy a Ute and load all the tools in the back and drive

BTW - Ute is aussie slang for utility - I still see blank stairs for you
guys in America
- it's a Pickup truck.

<kboatright1@comcast.net>
How 'bout some thoughts on what to keep at the hangar for routine
maintenance on the RV. My tools are currently spread out at three
different locations and I need to do something to increase the current
near-zero probability of having the right tools in the right place at
the right time.
Here is my first pass. The idea is to have the essential tools to
maintain the airplane, including condition inspections.
Hand Tools:
Wrenches - open and box end - 1/4" to 1".
Sockets 1/4" to 1",
Rachet Drives - 1/4" & 3/8"
Torque wrench for prop bolts
Screwdrivers - Phillips & Slot
Offset screwdrivers - Phillips & Slot
Safety Wire pliers
Safety wire (.032 & .040)
Side cutters
Battery operated screwdriver.
Inspection Mirror(s)
Ball peen hammer
Lubrication:
Grease gun.
Oil funnel
Oil drain pan
Hose to fit sump quick drain
Miscellaneous:
Mineral Spirits for cleaning greasy stuff
Cleaning cloths
First aid kit.
Flashlight
Battery Charger
Creeper
3' x 6' workbench w/ vise
Inexpensive multi-meter
Environment Modification:
Lighting - Portable Halogen
Lighting - Flourescent drop light
Heater - Gas fired
Undercarriage Maintenance:
Jack apparatus for main gear.
Baby powder for new tubes
Air source for inflating tires.
Pressure gauge
Valve stem extension.
Brake pad rivet tool
Consumables:
Paper towels
Trash bags
Oil
Oil Filters
Grease
Zip Ties
Manuals:
Electroair
Lycoming
AC 43.XX
Other:
Compression test rig - borrow or rent
Mag Timing Rig - borrow or rent
I left off the "luxuries" category because it tends to be excessive...

I have been polishing my slider canopy track and rails for the last few

shine. Any truth to this fellas? The initial polishing is a lot of work
but I think cleaning them back up once and a while would be farily easy.
Note to newbies: Polishing aluminum with rouge and a buffing wheel makes a
huge mess. Cover up anything you don't want to have an oily red film over.

Why not polish and then clear annodize, then a final buffing, keeps the
shine a lot longer and makes it more wear resistance, the'll get a
slightly darker appearance bit worth it.

It all fits except stuff like the table saw, drill press, compressor, and

Listers:
I have some instructions for mounting my cowling without having a prop in
hand. I would like to set up my RV-6 for a C/S Hartzell and wanted to know
from someone that has mounted the cowling in this fashion, what the correct
spacing is from the crankshaft starting ring to the back of the spinner. I
believe it is 2.25". Anyone have some advice on this?

--> RV-List message posted by: Hopperdhh@aol.com
Fellow lubricators,
It is my understanding that water is NOT soluble in oil. Oil is covalent and
water is bipolar, kind of opposites in chemistry. They will mix if whipped,
but are not really chemically combined and will separate as soon as the
whipping is over. Of course water is more dense than oil, and will go to the
bottom.
I think that 180 degrees F. is the ideal oil temperature. The oil needs to
be hot enough to circulate well. That is, to flow back to the sump to be used
again. That is what damages an engine when it is run hard before warming up,
the sump is sucked dry and no oil gets to the bearings. If the oil gets too
hot, it loses viscosity and cannot prevent metal to metal contact.
Water will boil off as the oil hits the bottom of the pistons which are about
40 or 50 degrees hotter than the average oil temperature. So it is not
really necessary to get the indicated oil temperature above the boiling point of
water.
All of this, of coarse, is IMHO. Hit me.

I put some water out on the table at room temperature, and guess what?
It dried. As stated above, don't get worried about whether or not the
oil is at or above water's boiling temperature, that doesn't matter.
What matters for driving out moisture is how long it is at a given
temperature. Hotter equals faster, cooler equals slower.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Gregory Young" <gyoung@cs-sol.com>
They will have a new this year homebuilt camping area near the RV ghetto and
Replica Fighters area. It's certainly close to the action but space is
limited. The showplane camping extends from the antique/classic area south
to somewhere well past the ultralights (Fond du Lac?;). The past 2 years
I've been in the vintage area with my Navion and have thoroughly enjoyed it
vs the North 40. The big benefits are proximity to the show, convenience and
the overall atmosphere. The North 40 feels more like a transient motel and
the showplane area is more like a community. Your neighbors are more likely
to share common interests and you get a lot of visitors stopping if you stay
by the plane. I found I would go back to the plane to drop off purchases and
sit under the wing (it's a big plane) to relax or watch the airshow. Of
course, I've been parked near the Homebuilt Cafe and I suspect that the
atmosphere and convenience would diminish as you got closer to the
Ultralight area and disappear south of that.
The downside is food, groceries and ice. The camp store at Camp Schoeller is
a good hike. The Ultralight store is closer but a more limited selection.
Evening food is very limited as well, it's one thing that SnF does better.
The North 40's access to Friar Tuck, Wal Mart, etc. was sorely missed. Also
be aware that if you arrive before the show starts your choices are pretty
much limited to Tall Pines Cafe down by the Ultralights. They started
providing breakfast and dinner before the show 2 years ago and they were the
only game in town. Make sure you know their hours and go early because they
have run out of food. If you miss it, it's a bitch to find your way to an
off airport eatery.
The earlier you arrive the better your location will be but you may get
lucky and fill-in for a mid-week departure, something they do better in
Showplane parking than the North 40. Also, as far as I know, Showplane
camping has never closed - one more advantage over the North 40.

Van's has directions on how to do this on their website. Be advised that on
a RV-7 that we have been working on, we used the dimensions in the directions,
then ended up with about a 1/4" interference when I actually installed the
prop. We had to re-cut the back end of the cowl to get clearance.
You can shim the back plate some on C/S props, but initially ours was no were

| Subject: | Upper Gear Leg Fairing |
--> RV-List message posted by: Jeff Bertsch <noms1reqd@yahoo.com>
The upper gear leg fairing on our RV-4 keeps cracking and pulling loose from its
attach points. It is screwed to the underside of the gear leg and the front
edge of the fairing is attached to the lower portion of the cowling. I think
the gear leg moves so much that rigid attachments may not be a good idea. Years
ago I saw an RV-6 that had a spring that attached to the inside of the fairing
and simply held the fairing in place. That sounds interesting and can anyone
send pictures of such a design? Anyone have an RV-4 with something similar
- or maybe a better suggestion.
Thanks.

The upper gear leg fairing on our RV-4 keeps cracking and pulling loose from
its attach point.
You can rivet an aluminum angle to both sides of the inside of the fairing
and tie a loop of safety wire between them. Then put an Adel clamp around the
motor mount and run a spring down to the wire loop from the bolt in the clamp.
this has worked well on my -4.

Mike:
On our web site we have a POH for an RV-6A with an O-320 and CS prop and one
for an O-360 FP prop. You may be able to combine them to come up with a POH
for your airplane. You will, of course, have to fill in the numbers unique to
your plane.

| Subject: | Vertical Stab Alignment |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Dean Psiropoulos" <deanpsir@easystreet.com>
Anybody have a quick and easy way to set the leading edge of the Vertical
stabilizer before drilling its front spar to the horizontal stabilizer? I
have measured across the front spar of the horizontal stabilizer and made a
mark at the midpoint as a reference thinking that if I align the midpoint of
the vertical stab spar with this mark I'll get the vertical stab centered on
the centerline of the fuselage as recommended by the plans (no left or right
offset). I'm thinking this should give me a good reference point but is
there a better/easier way? Also, has anyone canted the vertical stab to the
left to compensate for P-factor and torque? If so how much should it be
canted (inches off centerline reference) to compensate for the torque of a
180 horse 0-360 Lycoming at 75% cruise? Is this a good idea or should I
just put the small wedge on the rudder and compensate for it that way?

| Subject: | slight stumble in engine |
--> RV-List message posted by: "GMC" <gmcnutt@uniserve.com>
Hi Andy
My carbureted 0-320 has a slight stumble about 1400 RPM when power is
increased slowly, only notice it occasionally and usually in level off from
descent. I have been told that is the change-over from carb idle system to
main jet.
Catches your attention the first few times you notice it.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Andy" <winterland@rkymtnhi.com>
My 0-360 has developed a slight stumble as I throttle from idle past 1500
rpm. It happens every time, regardless of the mixture setting or how fast
throttle is applied. There is no stumble when reducing power, and I can
hold smooth power at that 1500 rpm mark. Power is smooth and consistent in
all other modes.
The engine is carbureted with a 20 hour old Slick mag on one side and a 20
hour old Lightspeed on the other. Compression is good. Timing is good.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andy
