Out here in Louisiana we have several airports near Indian casino's and
they not only provide transportation but have small trailers set up with air
conditioning and cold drinks where you can wait for the bus. Some even
contribute money to the airport. At one airport, if you make your approach
over the casino they will see you and have a bus there before you unload
from the plane!

--> RV-List message posted by: "Wayne @ Aircraft Engravers" <wayne@engravers.net>
Jerry,
I've seen it from time to time and how it finally looks depends on a few
different things.
How do you want it labeled? Engraved (standard or laser), silk screened,
placarded etc...
Different methods of labeling may need a specific finish on the aluminum
such as smooth or a brushed texture to have legible text when completed.
If you engrave the panel it will expose the aluminum to oxidation so it will
have to be clear-coated to protect it. This is also true with silk screening
if there are any areas of high wear such as around a flaps switch.
To keep this brief I've given you just a few of the things to be concerned
with, there are many other labeling types with their own pros and cons.
There is a process that we do that will give your panel the look as if it
came from the factory. Visit
http://www.engravers.net/aircraft/painted_panels.htm to see how a painted
panel can look like.
If you call me I can go over this in as much detail as needed for you to
make an informed decision as apposed to a couple of brief highlighted
points.

I found that I could write by hand on white heat shrink tubing before putting
it on the wire. Use a Sharpie Twin-tip pen (they come in colors, too). When
the heat shrink shrinks, so does the writing. Easy, cheap and works real
well.

I have a dumb question,
Why has no one made an LED bulb cluster that will plug into the Nav lights I
have on my airplane? I would buy a set for $50 bucks, or maybe even $100.
My electric budget is very short at night and this is just what I need! And
I don't want to cut any tin, just change the bulbs. Maybe the colored LEDs
could be potted into a clear lens that replaced the colored lens with a
short wire and a plug that went into the lamp socket?

Bill,
Wanted to thank you for your courtesy at the airport over the weekend...
I am kicking myself for not taking a flight with you.. think the altitude
must have made me a little slow... Sandi was wanting to get back to the
springs to meet my daughter.
I was very impressed with the plane. Hope you had a great flight.. sure
looks good on our video.

--> RV-List message posted by: Jim Oke <wjoke@shaw.ca>
Hi Neal;
Roll forces on an RV are very light so an aileron trim is not needed in the
sense of reducing control forces but more in the sense of dealing with small
and subtle roll trim changes during cruise flight due to, for instance, fuel
burn from one tank at a time. Thus roll trim mostly consists of a tiny, once
every half hour or so, adjustments.
From my practical experience in a -6A, the Vans manual trim system is more
than adequate for this purpose. It is also, simple, light, and involves no
mods to the aileron itself. There is also no wiring with fuses/circuit
breakers to deal with in the fuselage or out on the wing. The only slight
downside it that the manual trim system makes removing the seat pans a bit
more time consuming than a pure electric system with, for instance, stick
mounted trim button.
Maybe, I am just a just a traditionalist as I find the Vans manual elevator
trim system also perfectly adequate and simple, direct acting, with no lag,
etc.
So my advice would be to stick with the Vans manual elevator and aileron
trim systems and leave tinkering with unnecessary electric trim systems
alone.
Others will, I am sure, disagree.

My situation has changed and it looks like I will be based on a 2000
foot grass strip that does have some rough spots. At the time I was
forced to put my project on the back burner there was a problem with the
nose wheel rod on the 6A's, some had broken and I believe there was a
recall of sorts.
My question, have there been any problems since? Has the problem been
corrected?
I would prefer the 6A, but if there is any doubt about it I would go
with the 6 and get some tailwheel training.
thanks, terry.

From what I have read either model can end up on its nose. Full up
elevator really helps on an A model. Traditionally a tail dragger appears
to be the more off road capable. Call the factory to verify the latest in
landing gear changes.

| Subject: | Fuel Servo problem |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Berthet, Andre G" <andre.g.berthet@intel.com>
I have an IO-360-A1A and have a strange problem. When the engine is hot,
turning the booster pump ON will results in a substantial drop of RPM.
Let say if I set my engine speed to 1300 RPM and then turn the booster
ON, the engine speed will decrease by about 500 RPM. Of course if I do
that at a normal idling of 700 RPM, the engine just quit. My servo has
been overhauled in January, re-inspected in June and I'm sending it back
again. The flow divider and the fuel nozzles have been overhauled last
June too. Also the idling speed is changing depending if the engine is
hot or cold. My mixture is adjusted for a 25 RPM rise at ICO.
My engine driven pump alone produces 23 PSI of fuel pressure, and when
the booster pump is turned ON it increases the pressure to 28 PSI.
Could anyone have suggestions how to fix this problem?

Van's came out with a revised -6A nosegear after doing some fatigue testing a
few years ago. There's probably information about it on their web site, or you
could just call.
I would think that any field that was smooth enough that you'd want to operate
off it daily with a -6 would also be smooth enough for a -6A. (Before anyone
jumps on me for being nosegear biased: I'm building a -6.)

Hi Doug,
If you want to go with a simple bulb change, there are LED replacements
currently avaliable. I have seen them advertised in electronic component
catalogues, as well as some motorcycle accessory suppliers. They are ideal
as tail-light globes in that high vibration environment. You can get them in
red and clear, dunno about green though......
Just a thought....

Don't turn on the pump. We lost a plane that turned the pump on during the
first flight, killed the engine and could not restart because it was
flooded. Ask Greg Young. Pump is a standby for when the engine pump fails.

Cy, I believe you. However, what sort of fuel servos are we talking
about? I can't imagine (again, I believe it) why anyone would design a
fuel servo that was that sensitive to fuel pressure. I understand that
some Bonanzas are not to have the boost pump on unless mechanical pump
failure.
Just FYI, the Airflow Performance servo is not affected by the increase
in fuel pressure when the boost pump is on. In fact, that is how one
can determine if the base engine pump pressure is adequate - fuel flow
on full power, full rich, should not increase when the boost pump
increases the pressure a few psi.

I would not agree in general with that statement. I would classify
crummy field condition as the single best reason to put up with whatever
challenges one might feel a taildragger might have. The conditions
which are nasty for the trikes are the waves in the field, perhaps
something like 20 feet long. The problem with those is that they may
resonate with the natural frequency of the plane's oscillations. I've
been in quite a few grass strips, and they all have some degree of this
waviness. The best technique that I've found is to hold some aft stick
during the rollout (or takeoff), but not full aft stick. AND, do not
try to control the pitch attitude of the plane with the elevators during
any field induced excursions - you will only get into a PIO. Hold some
aft stick and freeze it there. Now, large holes in the field are an
entirely different animal...

I am not an A&P nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night. I
discussed Greg Young's problem at the time with my IA, a well-known Bonanza
Mechanic. He said that this is a well known problem when the boost pump has
more pressure than the engine driven one. My SWAG would be to reduce the
pressure to what the engine driven pump is required to produce for the
injection system.

| Subject: | 7A Flap Hinge Fun - Or not |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Karie Daniel" <karie4@comcast.net>
I have been reading the archives and looking at web sites and I'm slightly perplexed
regarding the (what should be) simple installation of the flaps.
1. Is this the correct order - Dimple the skin, countersink the brace to accept
the skin dimple, and leave the hinge alone. So the brace is between the top skin
and the hinge bracket? Just doesn't look right that way.
2. Also if you look at the pictures at http://brian76.mystarband.net/WingsMar03.htm (BTW...thanks Brian for documenting this on the web site) the hinge protrudes about an inch and a half or so inboard. In other words it isn't riveted to the skin, hinge bracket and brace. Only the bracket and brace go all the way inboard. Do I just rivet those or does something attach later? I can't find anything that does.
Thanks,

--> RV-List message posted by: "Doug Bell" <dbell@manisteenational.com>
Well,
After 5 1/2 years of building and working as all others have, N266WB took flight
on a perfect summer Sunday in Northern Michigan
RV8
Kit # 80889
O360 A4M
Fixed pitch Catto 3 Blade Prop
Ellison Throttle Body
Basic VFR
My father and I have been slowing down this quick build for a while now but it
all came to a perfect first flight at 830pm on 8/8/04. The flight went very well
and lasted about 35 minutes. Take off was as expected and I spent most of
the time around 3500-4500 ft making gradual passes around the field in Cadillac
MI. One high speed run indicated 145mph but I was not trimmed properly so
I was climbing most of the run. All temps stayed in line and I never felt anything
but confidence. Only thing that I noticed was a heavy left wing. Landing
was pretty good if I do say so myself and caught on film it looks good every
time I replay it.
Many thanks go out to all the listers I read emails from. I read more than contribute
and appreciate all of your emails.
Thanks to Danny King for a thanksgiving weekend ride for me and an earlier one
for my father, to Mike Seger for early RV training flights and to Dave Lammers
of Cedar Rapids IA. I flew last week with Dave for my RV checkout and his training
gave me all the confidence I needed for first flight. I would highly recommend
anyone flying with Dave if you can. First class in every way and a terrific
instructor. Thanks to my Co Building Dad and his inspiration to me to
tackle this project. We did it together and that is awesome. To may Mom for
supplying lunch and dinner so many nights and winter days and to my broter Mike
for keeping the hanger plowed open in the winter.
My sweetheart Ann, and the kids deserve many thanks for dealing with this crazy
idea and putting up with the final push to complete it. Family really does suffer
at some or all times while these things get built. Kudos to all you "better
halfs" out there.
So many other people are involved along the way and all deserve thanks. Vans support
was always great and I look forward to many trips and meeting all of you
out there at some fly in.
Look for the RV 8 with a golfer on the tail.
Here to seeing you all soon.

| Subject: | Fitting Completed Fuel Tank |
--> RV-List message posted by: "" <tx_jayhawk@excite.com>
All,
I am finishing up my last wing and I have run into a unique problem. When fitting
the completed right fuel tank on the main spar, it does not want to fully
seat on the inboard side. There seems to be a large bulge on bottom side near
the spar/baffle intersection for the first inboard foot or so. I have done the
following:
- trimmed the excess proseal from the affected baffle intersection area to ensure
there is no interference
- re-shimmed the main spar to ensure there was no twist
- redone the string test to ensure there was no sag in the middle.
I can't for the life of me see what is going on, and I did not have this problem
on the first wing. The bulge is pretty excessive (1/8 - 1/4 inch), so it really
does not seem right. Anyone ever experienced this? Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Scott
