It could still be a bad lead or rotor switch.
Sparking in ambient pressure is easy to do, but driving the spark under
compression is hard. It could be leaking to ground under these conditions
but work fine when sparking to one's tounge.
Could also be a problem with the primary coil, or the magentic rotor getting
weak and this lead is the one that is the highest resistance so its failing
first.

Jim,
if the unit is using a wire for left and one for right along with the normal
grounding system then it is most likely an analog output.
150 mV for full deflection left or right
Do any of the setup pages in the 300 allow one to select input/output data
types for the serial lines? Again, without the 300 install manual this is
hard to tell, but you can get a manual probably online if you call garmin
tech support, they'll give you the url. The users manual won't give you this
info, its got to be the install manual.

Dean,
who cares what the angle one the stop is. If you position it fwd the rudder
travel will increase, if you move aft it will decrease.
Note two, the data in the plans is a little weak, they give a rudder travel
of 30 to 35 deg each way.
35 is too much if you don't have the training wheel in front as the rudder
needs to stop before unlocking the real pilot's lockable tailwheel.
This unlocking occurs with the tailwheel at about 35 degrees and should only
happen when one gives full rudder deflection at 30 degs and then some brake
to stretch the springs a little.

I've been told my many a builder here in Texas that for the IO-360, go with
the Stuart Warner- it's a better design internally that allows more oil to
evenly pass through the cooling fins. I believe Dan C went with the Vans
supplied unit at first but has since switched to the SW cooler for this very
reason.

Ron,
We have the Positech Oil cooler mounted to the rear baffle and it works very
well on our 200hp IO360. We was a problem with the early units (about 4
years ago) but the manufacturer modified the design to prevent air damming
and replaced our used one with the new one at N/C. Very good customer
support.

| Subject: | Re: Pledge? Cleaning cloth |
--> RV-List message posted by: "RV_8 Pilot" <rv_8pilot@hotmail.com>
I was once told by a retired optometrist that the best way to clean plastic
was as follows:
1. wash with water (flush away the loose dust and dirt)
2. use cleaner approved for the plastic
3. wipe the plastic surface once with clean 100% cotton terri cloth
4. turn over same clean cloth and wipe dry
Works pretty good for me, even though I don't always do step 1 myself.
The thought process on terri cloth is that it captures the abrasive things
(dirt, bug parts...) in the folds of the cloth and doesn't keep grinding
them into the plastic, scratching the surface.

Well, I guess that means I must be a cat..... I can give you specifics on
4 times when I heard the thump, and then there is some additional number of
times (less than 10?) when I've found "feather fuzz" on a fan blade or two.
One particularly determined antagonist managed to hit my plane three times.

| Subject: | Great Interior Work |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Dana Overall" <bo124rs@hotmail.com>
I wanted you get you here with that subject line. No, I am not like the
Wendy's man and "unofficially" associated with Abby at Flightline Interiors,
http://my.execpc.com/~erdmannb/ but I do have a big mouth and have a
tendency to speak my mine:-) and if it's nice I'll tell ya.
I received my interior from Abby yesterday. Let's put it this way, I'm
going to have to increase my level of workmanship to match the quality of
the work I unboxed yesterday!! If you are in the market for an interior, my
recommendation is contract Abby at the above site or call 262-679-5934.
I'm not discrediting any other interior provider, I am just at a loss for
words on how great Abby's work is.
A little history, as most you you know I went off the deep end and went with
Imron black as my paint color. It seems the black airplane took on a life
of it's own and progressed to having a carbon fiber panel, as much glass as
possible in the panel including a 7" DVD screen for the passenger, gold
powder coated rotary engine http://rvflying.tripod.com/goldengine.jpg,
rocket tinted canopy and a bunch of other little do-dads. Well, a name had
to be decided on so Black Magic was it with Mickey's little wizard hat
reproduced as a 3" gold replication on the VS. Now, here is where it gets
fun.
I relayed this theme and interior desires to Abby by way of the phone. She
was wanting to get more into custom interiors in addition to "normal"
interior work. Once again, some will consider my path somewhat on the
trailing edge of normal:-) Several ideas were bounces back and forth until
a final idea was decided upon. Abby then took this idea and ran with it. I
wanted the Black Magic theme to be somewhat discreet, this was achieved.
Here is a pic of the passenger side panel
http://rvflying.tripod.com/interior1.jpg In keeping with the gold trim here
is the baggage compartment rear cover with tonneau cover
http://rvflying.tripod.com/interior2.jpg progressing to the pilot side side
panel http://rvflying.tripod.com/interior3.jpg The pictures make the
stitching stand out much more than it really is. As you can see, the
starburst comes out of the finger, does a couple loops across the seat backs
and disappears into the palm. Way too cool in my book!! Folks, Abby
doesn't have creativity cornered but she sure know where the corner is.
As I count the interior panels, I see over 30 individual panels to install
using 3M 77. Each panel is cut and numbered for easy install. No alum will
be seen anywhere inside the cockpit, forward fuselage or baggage compartment
including the rudder motor housing and seat back brace. The attention to
detail is so obvious, it's incredible. Look at the cutout for the fuselage
vertical member on the side of the tonneau cover
http://rvflying.tripod.com/interior4.jpg This is the panel just forward of
the spar carrythough on the pilots side...........nice pen holder
http://rvflying.tripod.com/interior5.jpg
This pic shows just what I mean about the attention to detail
http://rvflying.tripod.com/interior6.jpg This is the pic of the lower
baggage compartment panel. On the top you see the very small cutout for
wrapping it around the vertical support, on the top front you see the cutout
to wrap it under the armrest and in front of the seat back support vertical
post. About 1/2 way down is the round cutout for the rudder cable and the
bottom cutout is for the flap weldment. This is just one example of the
quality of Abby's work.
Folks, if you are in the market for an interior you need to do yourself a
favor and check out Abby's website. It is worth the look!!
You can certainly criticize my choices:-) but you can't Flightline
Interior's work.

OK Folks,
There's a new article in "Kitbuilt Airplanes" about "Affordable
Turbine power" and there Solar turbine engine. Again they boast that
they are getting 16 gph at 250 hp and 13 gph at 200 hp using an
automotive type fuel injection system. Now the last time we talked
about this it was said that the best they could possibly get would be
about 1.1 to 1.2 pounds of fuel per hp with a single stage compressor.
That's over 20 gph! So what's going on? Could they possibly be getting
that kind of fuel burn? It sure would be COOL to be running a turbine.
Any comments from you engineers out there?

Yes, that is what I meant to say...... But really I rode one night in pouring
rain and the windshield acted just like it does with Rain-x on a car
windshield. (I only did things like that when I was trying to get to Oshkosh.)
But, as I recall, It may have been Lexan and not Plexiglass. 1986 FXRT factory
fairing. Lexan may behave differently than Plexi-g.....

Well, I guess that means I must be a cat..... I can give you specifics
on 4 times when I heard the thump, and then there is some additional
number of times (less than 10?) when I've found "feather fuzz" on a fan
blade or two. One particularly determined antagonist managed to hit my
plane three times. Banzai!

Try Scale Model Research or Bob's Aircraft Documentation. They provide scale
documentation for models, however, I'm sure they would have documentation on
just about any color scheme that ever existed.

If you happen to be going to OSH, look for the T-34 owned by a fellow named
Dave Holt. It has a big "DH" on the vertical stab. It was built over the
last couple of years by Dave Miller (The best airplane craftsman I have ever
met) Painted in marine corps blue with yellow and red details. It is sure to
make a big splash this year at OSH. If you meet him please compliment him on
the mirror finish firewall. It is really cool and adds a lot of depth to the
engine compartment........and I had the privilege of building it. :) Really
a spectacular airplane.....Dave Miller has been a winner in the past at OSH
and this project will show you why. It really is a special airplane......

Well, Unison overnighted a new harness and I
installed it today. No change, #3 still doesn't
fire on the right mag, whether the lead is on
the top or bottom plug. We'll see if they'll
fork over a new mag. If that doesn't work I'm
tempted to see if a bullet through the block helps.
I now think that this problem has been going on
since first flight. #3 always ran rough on the
right mag. Several knowlegable people attributed
it to (a) cylinders not being broken in, and/or
(b) an intake leak. It wasn't until last week,
when #3 stopped firing at all on the right mag,
that I started snooping around the ignition system.
I figured that with new mags and a harness that
that would be the *last* thing to go bad. I hope I
was wrong then and right now, 'cause if it ain't the
mag no one here knows what to do next.

Could be a cracked distributor block in the mag or flashover and a carbon
trail. It is fairly easy to open a Slick mag and check it. Be sure you
know the procedure for timing it when you put it back together though! I
assume you have already eliminaed the plug as a suspect?

| Subject: | Care of plexiglass |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Eustace Bowhay" <ebowhay@jetstream.net>
What has worked best for me over the years is the following.
Use only flannel cloth ( ripped old bed sheet into sixteen inch squares) then store
them in a plastic bag.
If wind screen (canopy) is dusty (stored for awhile) rinse off with water without
touching the plexi by (spraying or pouring water over it. Then with a piece
of clean flannel soaked in slightly soapy water and partially wrung out, take
it by two corners and drag it full width over the plexi without any pressure
on it, turn it over and do it a second time then put the flannel in a plastic
bag to washing.
If there are bugs take another clean cloth soaked in the soapy water gently clean
them off. Put this cloth in the bag for washing.
I have used Mirror Glaze for around forty years and would use nothing else, recently
a friend asked me to try some Plexus and found it to be a good product.
Again taking another clean cloth spray on the cleaner and wipe dry, another cloth
for the laundry bag.
This may sound a bit like over- kill but it is the only way I could be sure of
not winding up with some scratches.
I have flown many aircraft that had scratched plexi and found that by using Mirror
Glaze all but the worst scratches would eventually disappear.
If the canopy is new and scratch free the Plexus will sure do the job and is quicker
to use.
Anyway the whole idea is prevent getting any scratches in the first place and the
only way I have been able to do that is not rub with any gritty stuff on the
plexi.

Brian has the right idea. I had a problem with a Bendix mag where the
distributor block had an arc path from center to one wire lug. It made a bad
situation until I disassembled the mag and found it. About $ 100 for a new
distributor block and it has been OK since then.

| Subject: | Aileron Pushrod Substitute For an RV-7A |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Karie Daniel" <karie4@comcast.net>
I'm finishing off my wings and I've put off a heinous job that I struggled with
early on. The standard aileron pushrod is this powder coat rod that you cut then
place the fitting in the end, drill 4 holes through the pushrod and fitting
then rivet it. No matter what I do I keep screwing up these rivets. I would
just weld the fitting and be done with it and forget about the rivets but I was
wondering if there is an alternative pushrod I could use that doesn't require
welding or riveting.
Thanks,

BTW..... If there is someone out there planning on flying from Seattle to Oshkosh
solo and would like some company and someone to share the flying and gas give
me a shout. I'd like to go and I'm flexible on time.

Folks,
you are on this distribution list because I thought you might like to
recieve updates from me on the trip I am about to start.
If you do not wish to recieve these please pop me a note and I'll drop you
off the list.
The current plan has me at T minus 3 days, with launch on this Friday
morning.
First stop is Minden NV, then Scapoose Oregon. If time permits I will
continue on to Arlington WA that day, or else I'll pop over to Vernonia for
the night. I'm supposed to be on the setup crew for the NWEAA flyin from
7.3-7.11, I'll be in that area for the week so would love to drop by and
visit if any of you local to the area are going to be around.
After the flyin the plan is to head east until Maine goes by, then south
until Florida appears, then back west until Texas, then up the Mississippi
to Oshkosh for the big flyin, and then zigzag back to San Diego in early
August, thereby landing in every state in the lower 48.
Obviously the weather will help plan my route so it isn't too firm right
now. But my plan is to post an update daily, as time permits.
Again, if this is too much email for you, reply and I'll take you out of the
loop, as I am certainly sensitive to too much email. I won''t be posting
pictures other than to a website, if I get a land line connection as the
cell connection is somewhat too slow for picture uploads.
I'll probably send the next note out Thursday night just before I get on the
road.
ta ta for now
