Likewise, my comments were partly based upon an experience with an aircraft restorer
I knew several years ago in the St. Louis area who commented that his shop
cost for FAA certified leather was over twice that of a seemingly comparable
but untreated hide.

Al,
I don't have pictures, but I installed nutplates (on .040" doublers) to the
spar web on my RV-7A. I installed the NavAid servo in the same bay as the
bellcrank, and used a 1/4 inch rod to connect them. The rod is only about 4
inches long. I had to trim off two of the original mounting ears to make room,
but
it has worked perfectly. The linkage was calculated to give equal movement
of the pushrod (to the stick) in both directions. That ends up being about on
a line between the pivot points on the bellcrank. I can go into further
detail off line if you wish. I always get flamed for getting too technical on
the
list! If you haven't already put on the leading edge, or perhaps if you can
use rivnuts, you may want to consider this way. I used the doublers to reduce
the possibility of cracking the spar web. You could probably still mount it
in the bellcrank bay, and avoid mounting to the spar web, but it would take
more work.
Hope this helps,
Dan Hopper

I thought about having my instrument panel powder coated until I brought it to
a local shop for a quote. Theprice quoted mefor a standard pre-punched RV-7 panel
was $260.00 plus $120.00 for material if I chose a color not in stock. I am
familiar with the powder coat process and understand about set up cost, labor,
etc. however, I thought this price to be excessive.
Before I scout out other shops I thought I would ask the group their experiance
with powder coating. Right now I'm thinking I will paint it myself....

Subject: Re: RV-List: Rattle can flat paint
Hi Lucky-
How well you've come to know me... I've got bamboo under my nails as I
type this!
Actually, my pet project / experiment here is the use of rattle cans of
prop epoxy paint as a way to get a really durable and utilitarian finish on
all the bits and pieces that go into the interior. Besides not being aware
of non-rattle can prop epoxy, setting up a spray gun and booth each time I
need to apply a half a square foot of paint doesn't appeal to me, nor does
the ensuing clean up. (BTW, I've got a couple of spray guns already)
This process really is easier than it might sound. A couple coats of
paint, let it cure, a few minutes with a sanding block, a few more with the
scotchbrite. Only one iteration of sanding, the instrument panel is the
only place I take this level of effort, and the finish is flatter than what
you'd get straight from the can.
FWIW-
--> RV-List message posted by: RV8ter@aol.com
disregarding all the fun you had repainting and sanding, might it not have
been
quicker to just get a cheap spray gun and have painted the thing that way to
begin with and avoided the repainting, sanding, buffing?
just curious.

Ack! Pretty steep. I paid $65 for an engine mount about five years ago. I
think it was minimum charge for setup and any additional parts would have
been less per item.

I used Imron. Shot it from a little self contained pressure gun purchased
at the local automotive paint supply house for six bucks or so. Totally
durable, tuff (no scratches or nicks after installation) and glass smooth.
I've had a zillion compliments, and it was easy. Everyone thought I'd had
it powder coated. My powder coater here would have done it for $35 to $40
but would have taken two to three weeks and I had to run it over to him and
pick it up. I'd paint it again.

You can often save a lot of money with powedercoating (on a small job) by
choosing a colour they're going to use for a batch of other jobs. However, if
you want a specific colour that they don't happen to be using elsewhere you'll
pay full price.

For those that ordered one already, did they tell you that the "Approvals:
FCC, ACA Pending" has actually occurred? I still see that caveat on their web
site and in their Installation and Users Manual.
Also, does the price of the harness mean the DIY kit or their factory tech
built harness to your individual specs which they also discuss?

For my newly minted RV-7A, I thought I would be able to find elastic storage
pockets at Oshkosh. But I came away empty. I'm looking for the kind I can
attach to the side fuselage under the panel and also in the baggage area, to
keep pens, maps, etc.
Anybody know where I can get these?

Could anyone who has used one of the various Kroy brand printers tell me
if you can use them to print onto standard, store bought, heat shrink
tubing? Or do they only work with the Kroy manufactured cartridges of heat
shrink tubing. Any suggestions on where to get good prices on these
cartridges? Any general suggestions?

layncable@sbcglobal.net
--> RV-List message posted by: Scott Vanartsdalen <svanarts@yahoo.com>
I've never posted one of those inspirational trip reports so here goes. This isn't
a long journey to some far off romantic or adventurous place. Just a couple
of short hops that really showed me the great utility of these little planes.
I got out to Oakdale airport (O27) at about 7:15am this morning and did a quick
pre-flight while I ate my breakfast burrito. I did my runup, dialed Mather Field
(MHR) into my Anywhere Map and was airborne by 7:40am. It was unseasonbly
cool this morning for the Central Valley, only 65 degrees. But that all changed
as I climbed up to find the inversion layer. Now it was about 80 degrees
(ugh, gonna get hot today!) Within about 15 minutes I was having to quickly dial
in ATIS and 5 minutes later I was on final for 22R and being asked to step
over to 22L.
I was met by my sister who took me to breakfast. After breakfast I took her and
the kids out to look at the plane. No time for rides because she had to go
to work. I've never let that stop me but she has better work ethics than I do.
It was just before 10am that I blasted out of Mather. I was still on the downwind
headed East when I climbed up and out of the Class D airspace. It was
entertaining to listen to the controller start to warn other aircraft about me
and then say "ah...nevermind, not a factor."
I dialed in Jackson/Westover Field into the trusty ol' iPAQ and also cranked up
Windows Media Player to listen to some tunes on the way up there. 15 minutes
later I was turning final listening to Lenny Kravitz sing "I want to get away,
I want to fly away..." in between position reports from other aircraft. I taxied
up to the spot closest to the terminal. I secured everything, grabbed my
briefcase and called a cab to take me to Jackson Rancheria, the local gambling
facility. As we drove past the end of the runway a beautifully painted RV-6
was on short final. I pointed to the plane and told him mine was similar but
making sure to point out the superior charactaristics of the RV-4 as opposed
to the other models. :-) It was painted white whith streaming checkerboard underneath
and ended with the letters CS. If you're on any of these groups, nice
plane!
(Editorial Note: Jackson Rancheria REALLY needs to provide courtesy transportation
to the airport. It's only a 5 minute drive and I think they could bring
in a lot of fly in business. I'd much rather tip a courtesy van driver than pay
and tip a cabbie.)
Now, I'm not a gambler. I was there for a job fair. Hey, casinos need computer
geeks too. It took about an hour to sign in and wait to talk to their Information
Technology people. After the interview I called the taxi back and was
back up to my plane by about 12 noon. I was airborne by 12:15 and cranked up
the tunes again. No need for a moving map at this point, the plane could find
it's own way home. I didn't really need it for the entire trip, I just like
the "ooh" factor of having a color moving map. Anyway, I was crusing back into
the pattern and was down by 12:45.
So there you have it, I took what would have been almost an entire day of driving
and turned it into one morning. I really love that plane.

Well Scott... we all know the RV-4 is the "Superior" RV. But the other RV's are
pretty darn good too. :-} BTW you still haven't given me that ride
you promised, why I haven't even seen your beauty yet. Drop by C80-New Coalinga
anytime and give me a call. My cell & home numbers are still the same. Maybe
I'll take you out to see D.C. International Airport (yep that's the 1900'

Well Scott... we all know the RV-4 is the "Superior" RV. But the other RV's are
pretty darn good too. :-} BTW you still haven't given me that ride
you promised, why I haven't even seen your beauty yet. Drop by C80-New Coalinga
anytime and give me a call. My cell & home numbers are still the same. Maybe
I'll take you out to see D.C. International Airport (yep that's the 1900'
private airfield & hanger I built) and buy ya' breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Take
care,
Chuck

I've never posted one of those inspirational trip reports so here goes. This isn't
a long journey to some far off romantic or adventurous place. Just a couple
of short hops that really showed me the great utility of these little planes.
I got out to Oakdale airport (O27) at about 7:15am this morning and did a quick
pre-flight while I ate my breakfast burrito. I did my runup, dialed Mather Field
(MHR) into my Anywhere Map and was airborne by 7:40am. It was unseasonbly
cool this morning for the Central Valley, only 65 degrees. But that all changed
as I climbed up to find the inversion layer. Now it was about 80 degrees (ugh,
gonna get hot today!) Within about 15 minutes I was having to quickly dial
in ATIS and 5 minutes later I was on final for 22R and being asked to step over
to 22L.
I was met by my sister who took me to breakfast. After breakfast I took her and
the kids out to look at the plane. No time for rides because she had to go to
work. I've never let that stop me but she has better work ethics than I do. It
was just before 10am that I blasted out of Mather. I was still on the downwind
headed East when I climbed up and out of the Class D airspace. It was entertaining
to listen to the controller start to warn other aircraft about me and
then say "ah...nevermind, not a factor."
I dialed in Jackson/Westover Field into the trusty ol' iPAQ and also cranked up
Windows Media Player to listen to some tunes on the way up there. 15 minutes
later I was turning final listening to Lenny Kravitz sing "I want to get away,
I want to fly away..." in between position reports from other aircraft. I taxied
up to the spot closest to the terminal. I secured everything, grabbed my briefcase
and called a cab to take me to Jackson Rancheria, the local gambling
facility. As we drove past the end of the runway a beautifully painted RV-6 was
on short final. I pointed to the plane and told him mine was similar but making
sure to point out the superior charactaristics of the RV-4 as opposed to the
other models. :-) It was painted white whith streaming checkerboard underneath
and ended with the letters CS. If you're on any of these groups, nice plane!
(Editorial Note: Jackson Rancheria REALLY needs to provide courtesy transportation
to the airport. It's only a 5 minute drive and I think they could bring in
a lot of fly in business. I'd much rather tip a courtesy van driver than pay
and tip a cabbie.)
Now, I'm not a gambler. I was there for a job fair. Hey, casinos need computer
geeks too. It took about an hour to sign in and wait to talk to their Information
Technology people. After the interview I called the taxi back and was back
up to my plane by about 12 noon. I was airborne by 12:15 and cranked up the tunes
again. No need for a moving map at this point, the plane could find it's
own way home. I didn't really need it for the entire trip, I just like the "ooh"
factor of having a color moving map. Anyway, I was crusing back into the pattern
and was down by 12:45.
So there you have it, I took what would have been almost an entire day of driving
and turned it into one morning. I really love that plane.

up to my plane by about 12 noon. I was airborne by 12:15 and cranked up the tunes
again. No need for a moving map at this point, the plane could find it's
own way home. I didn't really need it for the entire trip, I just like the "ooh"
factor of having a color moving map. Anyway, I was crusing back into the pattern
and was down by 12:45.
So there you have it, I took what would have been almost an entire day of driving
and turned it into one morning. I really love that plane.

I've never posted one of those inspirational trip reports so here goes. This isn't
a long journey to some far off romantic or adventurous place. Just a couple
of short hops that really showed me the great utility of these little planes.
I got out to Oakdale airport (O27) at about 7:15am this morning and did a quick
pre-flight while I ate my breakfast burrito. I did my runup, dialed Mather Field
(MHR) into my Anywhere Map and was airborne by 7:40am. It was unseasonbly
cool this morning for the Central Valley, only 65 degrees. But that all changed
as I climbed up to find the inversion layer. Now it was about 80 degrees (ugh,
gonna get hot today!) Within about 15 minutes I was having to quickly dial
in ATIS and 5 minutes later I was on final for 22R and being asked to step over
to 22L.
I was met by my sister who took me to breakfast. After breakfast I took her and
the kids out to look at the plane. No time for rides because she had to go to
work. I've never let that stop me but she has better work ethics than I do. It
was just before 10am that I blasted out of Mather. I was still on the downwind
headed East when I climbed up and out of the Class D airspace. It was entertaining
to listen to the controller start to warn other aircraft about me and
then say "ah...nevermind, not a factor."
I dialed in Jackson/Westover Field into the trusty ol' iPAQ and also cranked up
Windows Media Player to listen to some tunes on the way up there. 15 minutes
later I was turning final listening to Lenny Kravitz sing "I want to get away,
I want to fly away..." in between position reports from other aircraft. I taxied
up to the spot closest to the terminal. I secured everything, grabbed my briefcase
and called a cab to take me to Jackson Rancheria, the local gambling
facility. As we drove past the end of the runway a beautifully painted RV-6 was
on short final. I pointed to the plane and told him mine was similar but making
sure to point out the superior charactaristics of the RV-4 as opposed to the
other models. :-) It was painted white whith streaming checkerboard underneath
and ended with the letters CS. If you're on any of these groups, nice plane!
(Editorial Note: Jackson Rancheria REALLY needs to provide courtesy transportation
to the airport. It's only a 5 minute drive and I think they could bring in
a lot of fly in business. I'd much rather tip a courtesy van driver than pay
and tip a cabbie.)
Now, I'm not a gambler. I was there for a job fair. Hey, casinos need computer
geeks too. It took about an hour to sign in and wait to talk to their Information
Technology people. After the interview I called the taxi back and was back
up to my plane by about 12 noon. I was airborne by 12:15 and cranked up the tunes

private airfield & hanger I built) and buy ya' breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Take care,

The short answer is no. The problem is that the cartridge comes with
shrink sleeve and the ribbon. So, while it would print on essentially
anything - no ribbon, no print.
There aren't any "good" prices on these cartridges. The lowest I have
found is here:

I, too, tried to find a reasonably-priced wire or heat-shrink printer when I
was wiring up my bird, but without success.
I ended up just using the narrowest black-on-white tape in my Brother
P-Touch labelmaker, which also prints all kinds of arrows and symbols-and
sticking it to the wire which it didn't much like, then slipping clear heat
shrink overtop and shrinking it.
The readability is excellent.
I tried to overcome not having the name of the wire printed on it every foot
or so by labelling each end "From fuse block" or "To Pilot's Mic tip", etc.
Not that I'd ever feed 12V+ to my microphone, of course....

How much was the cab fare to the Casino? I've been looking for a Casino in
Northern California with an airport nearby.

About $25. Yikes! That's pricey for us Oakdale boys. I mentioned to the guys
in the parking garage that they ought to pick people up at the airport. They
said, "You mean people would actually fly here just to gamble?" Uh...yeah.
I'm going to email the casino and suggest it. Couldn't hurt if others did the
same. I'm not a gambler but I like to see aiports prosper. I think it would
do wonders for Westover's fuel sales if the casino offered free rides to and
from the airport.
