Dear Lister,
Please read over the RV-List Usage Guidelines below. The complete
RV-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the

******************************************************************************
RVSouthEast-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the RVSouthEast-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the RVSouthEast-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
RVSouthEast-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the RVSouthEast-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.

Tom,
The spars are anodized.
The only areas that need chromic conversion are the countersunk holes.
I would prime the spars.

| Subject: | H2AD Alternator Mount Question |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Tony Kirk" <impalaflyer@sev.org>
Can anyone tell me if the "Boss Mount Alternator Bracket Kit" Part Number
"ES ALT-BKT" from Van's will fit on the O-320-H2AD?
The H2AD alternator mounting boss is horizontal (not angled like the starter
mounting pad) the two bolt holes are 2" apart (fore and aft) and use 5/16" x
18 bolts that go straight up into the crankcase about 1-1/2" from the case
centerline and the first hole is about 2-1/16" back from the center of the
flywheel v-groove.
I'm using the 35A alternator #ES14184 and I don't have the original H2AD
alt. bracket (#LW15350 in the Lycoming parts book) to test the alignment
either.
I can post pictures on my website if they may help answer this question.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Tony Kirk

Richard,
It can be complecated or fairly easy depending on which way you want to do
it. If you want to go the whole route and change the sump, etc., then it
gets complicated. But if you just want to add the servo and such then it
gets much easier. Airflow Performance has a very nice installation package
to do just this.

When I first heard about it I thought it was a no-brainer. For a few hundred $$$
it sounds great especially when you consider the addition of an auto-pilot control
head. However about a week previous to the announcement I'd finally ordered
a MicroAir T2000 transponder (been flying without one). While I'd certainly
prefer the serial gray code output over the parallel, this issue is a showstopper.
I'm happily flying now with the D10 encoding the T2000 and while I'd
love to take advantage of the upgrade offer, I likely won't unless they address
this as I don't desire to change transponders or add an encoder.

with that system, particularly involving IFR stacks and autopilots. So far
I have only been able to find and converse with two users.

Jason
Use 'hard' aluminum with AN fittings. It will be a bit more difficult
to form the hard stuff but the soft AL has a fairly low burst point
(lower than the plastic in fact).
This will cure your adventures in braking....

Subject: RV-List: Need help with brake lines
--> RV-List message posted by: Jason Sneed <n242ds@cox.net>
I have an RV-6 and I have had numerous problems with my brake lines.
The builder used what looks like plastic (poly) brake lines down the
gear leg fairing to the caliper. A couple times the caliper heated up
and melted the plastic tube at the fitting and I lost all my fluid.
Yesterday I did a fast no flap landing and my right brake pedal was
very stiff after landing (probably due to the brake fluid being VERY
hot) once stopped I mashed the brake and POP. At the very top of the
gear leg fairing I have a pin hole in the plastic which leaked the
fluid. I am getting pretty good at landing on a 2000 foot strip with no
brakes but I do not think this is a good thing to brag about.
Obviously I have to get rid of the plastic hose on both sides my
questions are:
1. What type of hose to use?
2. I have woods stiffeners on my gear legs wrapped in glass, do I need
to remove this to install the brake line?
3. Do I need to order pre-made hoses or can I make my own?
4. Is aluminum tubbing better that steel braided? or is there something
better?
5. my brake lines basically are in the middle of the wood stiffeners.
Any help would be great...

Ken:
The installation manual, at least the copy that I have, is not that much
more informative, IMHO.
If you have the pinouts, that is really all you need.
If you would like a copy of the manual, I could make one for you and send it
out snail mail. Just send me an address and I can get it out to you
sometime this week.

I have the approach systems hub and wiring. I bought one of the "early'
units and had some problems with their wiring bundles but they were terrific with
the customer support. At one point we could not diagnose the problem so a
local wiring guru from a wiring shop came out to the plane. We agreed that if
the problem was my fault, I would pay for the tech. If it was their problemn
Approach Systems would pay. The problem was in their wiring and they paid it
no questions asked. Would I use therir system again? ABSOLUTELY!!

Most excellent. This is best summary of this disease I have seen in awhile.
Another motivator or two:
At a fuel stop on the way to the Mason City, IA formation clinic and OSH in
my old 160HP CS prop RV4, a couple of guys walk up and one says to the
other, "Now this is what you should buy." Seems his buddy periodically gets
the hots for an RV and goes out looking. Guy one says, "would you mind
taking my buddy for a short ride?" I said, "sure let me put some gas in it,
check the weather, make a call, and then we'll go around the pattern." So
we prepare for a quick ride in a grossed out 4 with a big guy in the back,
some baggage and full fuel. On takeoff roll I hear a WOW! from the back
seat. A roll, a typical cruise power setting demo, high speed low approach
to a carrier break overhead approach and you guessed it, this guy is
infected.
Next day begins the second annual pre-OSH formation clinic hosted by warbird
pilot extrordinaire Doug Rozendalh, Falcon Flight Lead and FFI founder Stu
McCurdy and Team RV http://www2.mstewart.net:8080/teamrv/ lead Mike Stewart.
29 RVs flown by some of the nicest folks in the world show up for the
formation seminar. Sunday morning dawns crystal clear and, ho-hum, another
12 ship formation flight of RVs with a 13th P-51 is on the schedule. See
the pictures at Doug Reeves great RV sight:
http://www.vansairforce.net/calendarofthemonth/TeamRV2.jpg
Now the questions are: (1) will they let me fly formation with Team RV in an
RV10 or (2), how do you justify building a 10 when you already fly a 4.
Answer to 1 unknown, answer to 2, "Hun, now we can take the dog when we go
visit the kids."
One of the best kept secrets of the RV world is all the great people you
will meet flying around the country in your airplane.
