Hey, don't you know it's impolite to go chasing us fat people around? I mean,
I know we need excercise, but having a porker run is just a little much. :-)

Quick and dirty way is to use a small hose clamp above the spring,

Hi all! I am having trouble with dragging brakes in my newly flying 9A.
The pedals have full and free motion but they still drag. I read in the
archives about replacing the return springs with longer-stronger ones. THe
question:
how easy (difficult?) and messy of a job is that? I am finding it harder
and harder to climb under that panel!!! (... an aging thing....)

Hi all-
I'm not a Floridian, nor do I play one on TV, but this exchange got me
thinking- Why don't you guys in FL get to know the guys in AL or MS? An
appropriate time before landfall, the guy in harms way flies his plane to a
fellow RVer's home field, and the second fella ferries the other back to
his family. Both guys get to fly, the spouse doesn't have to drive, the
job gets done relatively quickly, and you are all part of a mutual support
buddy system instead of flaming each other?

There is good information on this list much of the time, but it seems too
often loaded down with the chit chat of folks who want to use it as a forum
to offer opinions that have nothing to do with RVs. Like many others, I
hate it that I have to wade through tons of, "Hurricane and tie-down"
dribble to find RV stuff. Not to pick on these guys, there has been plenty
of other dribble as well. An RV lands on a road and somebody has tell us
how, in the good old days, he flew pelicans out Uruguay and had to land in
the trees. Who cares? But, that stimulates some other lonely soul to want
to tell his story and we care even less. I could go on for pages about the
personal charges and defenses mounted about everything, but mostly about
someone being so thin skinned as to be insulted by someone else's remark.
This list can be useful, but if it's not useful if it's not about
RV-specific helpful information. This is not about list cops. It's about
having the good sense and courteously to understand why the majority of
folks are here and why some RV builders I've talked with say it's a waste of
time. This list should be about building and flying RVs. If you don't use
some restraint and common sense, this list will end up like most of the
others. It will have a few hangers-on who spend their days chatting about
their exploits and wondering why more people aren't interested enough to
participate in an RV list.
Now whine and make all your excuses and tell me I can go somewhere else
while you tie up even more space with wasted key strokes. Or, you could
decide that this is a helpful and informative RV list and bring back the
folks who are interested in building and flying RVs. Good luck!

================================
Not exactly the fault of MS or any carb.
Install a carb on each cylinder... [or calibrated FI]
and the problem can be remedied.
The MAJOR culprit is the INTAKE MANIFOLD,
and the laws of physics with carb systems
In my case, the early style RV-3 ram air design
made the uneven fuel distribution even worse.

I'm about 200 mi north of New Orleans. I & my neighbors have supplied
hangar/tiedown space in the past for friends from NO. Anyone, anytime
is welcome to head this way.
That said, if those in the line of fire moved their planes at every
risk, early enough to allow a return flight (& return of that flight) it
would consume a large part of their lives.
We play the risk/benefit game every day. The more we win, the harder it
gets to not play....

--> RV-List message posted by: Louis Willig <larywil@comcast.net>
At annual time this year, my mechanic discovered that there is no ELT in my
RV-4. I guess that since I usually had the rear seat/seatback removed, the
previous mechanics assumed it was a single place aircraft. So... I need to
get an ELT. It seems that the choice between an Ameri-King and and ACK is
pretty much no big deal either way. But I would like to know If either has
an advantage in mounting in an RV-4. Where, in fact, is a good place to
mount the ELT. I assume the baggage compartment is acceptable, but if there
are special areas that are best, I would like to know. It seems that the
antenna mounting site has been discussed ad infinitum, so I won't go there.

And now for something quite a bit lighter.
Those among you that dream of carrier landings, paint your RVs in Navy
markings, and so on, might want to have a look at this: a used WW II
aircraft carrier can be yours for a mere US$ 4.5 million!

It looks like the catapult's had some problems in the past, but with a
180+ HP RV and a constant speed prop, it's not strictly necessary...

I note in Van's accessories catalog (PDF format) that the Lasar ignition system
includes a 2600 RPM warning light when it is installed on an O-320 with a Sensenich
propeller. In late 2002, I received a factory new O-320 with the Lasar
option factory installed. At that time no such warning light was included with
my package. Perhaps Lycoming had no way of knowing what propeller I was going
to use. Anyway, I consulted with one of Van's most respected support persons
but in my opinion only, he *seemed* to convey that its value is dubious and
I'm merely paraphasing here, you be the judge................ "they only tell
you when you actually exceeded the red line, it doesn't warn you that you are
approaching the red line like a tachometer would and so the light is simply too
late to be useful in preventing overspeeds".
Makes perfect sense to me but.....................does anyone who actually has
experience with the noted engine/prop combination equipped with the Lasar system
find the warning light to be useful........or not?

And said it Well at that Kathleen,
Mind you after monitoring this list for at least seven years I expect that
things will go on pretty much as they have.
It's a simple fact that everyone cannot be in the same frame of mind at any
given time.
As it is in the outside world, so it is here. Differences in attitudes,
moral ethics, personal ethics, individual beliefs, imagined social standing,
etc. create lots of room for disputes, big or small, to arise on these
lists.
Across the spectrum of different personality types there exists some small
number of people that will invariably find justification to be at odds with
some other in the group for reasons that most often are generally
indefinable.
Said more simply: One persons idiotic list cop is another's sensible well
adjusted socially responsible lister.
I have said before and repeat now: No matter what design of aircraft I have
looked at, there has never been space allocated in the cockpit for the
pilots ego. I think it is safe to say that on entering the cockpit all
pilots should have LEAVE EGO ON GROUND as number one on their check list.
So it follows in my way of thinking that "LEAVE EGO OFF THE LIST", RV-list
in this case might be a good mindset
to 'try' to maintain.
Stating ones case in any public forum weather right or wrong is allowed.
Being opinionated is also allowed in our part of the global society. We are
after all, free to think regardless. Getting bent out of shape about ideas,
beliefs attitudes, opinions, etc. seems hardly more than mentally treading
water to me. If that?
Following the rather well thought out suggestions set out by the originator
and I think moderator of this list (Thanks Matt) seems to get the best
results for the majority of the users.
The status quo seems to be: The "list cops" hold up the stop signs and the
offenders sneer and get all farty (ego sensitive?) about it and under the
circumstances the majority get through the piled up excess traffic jam to
get and share the information they have and need as best they can.
Just another day on the RV list, {[g-)

Be sure and provide for the remote on/off/test switch. I mounted
my ELT in baggage compartment (RV6) where I could reach it so I did not
think I needed a remote mount switch but the DAR said I had to have one.
I mounted it between the seats on cross bar while he was standing there
and that was fine.

I put mine on the side of the baggage compartment. I mounted the antenna right
next to the passenger seat back. Mounted on the floor and the antenna rises
up next to the seat back. I specifically asked the (geniune) FAA inspector if
that was an OK location or should I move it. He said it was fine. I tested
it and it works fine there.
But then I haven't tried it with the plane flipped over in the mud.

At annual time this year, my mechanic discovered that there is no ELT in my
RV-4. I guess that since I usually had the rear seat/seatback removed, the
previous mechanics assumed it was a single place aircraft. So... I need to
get an ELT. It seems that the choice between an Ameri-King and and ACK is
pretty much no big deal either way. But I would like to know If either has
an advantage in mounting in an RV-4. Where, in fact, is a good place to
mount the ELT. I assume the baggage compartment is acceptable, but if there
are special areas that are best, I would like to know. It seems that the
antenna mounting site has been discussed ad infinitum, so I won't go there.

Dubious indeed. When I balance props I find the mechanical tachs read
about 100 RPM or more low. This means that thousands of engines are run
over redline all the time with no ill effects. The more we know about
what's really happening, the more we panic. For whatever reasons we add
CHT and EGT systems only to find out we've been running hot for years
.... so we spend inordinate amounts of time/money/energy trying to get
those temps back in line. In this case, the tach light goes on while
the mechanical tach reads 2500. Now what do you do??? I'd be much more
confident in having a warning light that would get my attention and warn
me of low oil pressure/level .... low fuel .... you get my drift ....
things that really matter!!!

That's "wired" not "weird" (well, maybe a little). OK, I was a little

my quantities and he has built an RV. Reason enough, right?
So, I want to share that I couldn't have been happier with the fast service,
good packaging and extra attention. No, I didn't get a kickback, but I do

Well,
I dunno folks, run the numbers, out of 6 billion people on the planet it
ought to be fairly easy to find another wife, or husband. Kids seems to be
fairly easy and somewhat fun to make, or at least get started (truly the
male perspective). And if that is not an option than they are very easy to
rent, borrow, lease, or make a more permanent fixture in one's life. Once
one gets the spouse replaced, the house will rebuild itself eventually.
Whereas there are only about 4000 RVs flying, and only another 12000 to
15000 partially built ones around.
Coming from Kalifornia, I'm hoping to be flying when the big one hits. Of
course the more I fly the better my odds are of that happening. ;{)

I have, for a whole night, with the antenna mounted horizontally underneath
the empennage fairing.
It worked faithfully all night long, with its bleating "help me, help me"
warble being picked up by satellite on every passd despite being on the
wrong side of the horizontal stabilizer.
According to the rescue co-ordination centre, anyways.
I did not have the remote panel switch for the ELT, which would have made
resetting it much easier.

Subject: Re: RV-List: Matco Parking Brake Valve...
--> RV-List message posted by: "Jim Jewell" <jjewell@telus.net>
About two years ago I received my Matco park break from Vans.
I promptly set about fitting it to my RV6-A airframe. Noticing the single
clue as to flow direction ( two arrows with the word flow on them and
further noting the lack of any diagrams or instructions I put the valve to
my lips and blew through it.
By manipulating the actuating arm I discovered that when the arm was
pointing straight down the flow rate was highest. if I moved the arm 45
degrees either forward or backward the flow was cut off. I could not
ascertain any difference in flow at the cut off points. I sized up the
firewall and decided to mount the unit dead center above the crossed
reinforcement angles and out of interference range with the rudder pedal
assembly. After making a couple of almost Rube Goldberg mounting
contraptions I settled on what I thought would work.
I was unwilling to dismantle the unit and instead let myself assume that
this unit was fairly simple internally. I spent considerable time making a
work of art out of the install and went on to other things.
I found it interesting to see all the recent postings regarding this Matco
mystery. Upon viewing the Matco diagram link that was posted I discovered
that my Matco park brake valve appeared to be in contravention of the rules
set out on that diagram.
I went down to the garage (RV lair) and pulled apart my previous handiwork
to assess the validity of my memory as to the position of the arm and its
relationship to effecting flow.
After looking at my unit I am now certain that the arm functions as I have
described earlier. (phew)
Upon studying (
http://matco.elixirlabs.com/users/matco/images/mastercylinder23a.jpg I feel
reassured that at least I got some fine engineering for the bucks I spent.
(;-)
However after looking at the internal diagram
http://matco.elixirlabs.com/users/matco/images/IM27a.jpg ) I am trying hard
to be sure if the arm is meant to swing forward or back from (in my case)
the bottom center open position. I am calling the side of the unit with the
pipe thread openings the forward side. (in this case facing the control
panel)
Did I get an oddball unit? (I haven't seen any other mention of my type of
arm positioning)
Which way to actuate the control arm?
Did I miss a part number on the unit somewhere?

I have, for a whole night, with the antenna mounted horizontally underneath
the empennage fairing.
It worked faithfully all night long, with its bleating "help me, help me"
warble being picked up by satellite on every passd despite being on the
wrong side of the horizontal stabilizer.
According to the rescue co-ordination centre, anyways.
I did not have the remote panel switch for the ELT, which would have made
resetting it much easier.

Oh no! Drivel is expressed in speech. I was certainly talking about what
drips from the curve of the chins of lonely old people who long for
something to talk about and someone tell it to, even no one is interested in
listening. At least I didn't rabble on :-D

'drivel', not 'dribble'.

Not if we can all learn from them.

I had two Ameri Kings that lasted just over one year each and then just quit
passing test. (no RF)
The ACK is smaller and is still going strong after 3 years. I fly 3 to 4 hrs
most very day.
I will not buy Ameri king again.

| Subject: | Anyone using an Aerospace Logic Fuel Gage? |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Dean Pichon" <DeanPichon@msn.com>
I recently installed an Aerospace Logic fuel gage. The installation
works great except when the engine is running. This is rather
problematic for a fuel gage. The people at Aerospace Logic tell me the
problem is due to a "noisy" electrical system in my -4. They sent to me
an external electrical filter to solve the problem. The filter is quite
large and heavy so I am reluctant to install it behind the panel per the
instructions. The new units they are now shipping include an integral
filter. Has anyone else had "noise" problems with the Aerospace Logic
Fuel gages?

| Subject: | oil cooler crack |
0.6 SEE_FOR_YOURSELF BODY: See for yourself
--> RV-List message posted by: Jason Sneed <n242ds@cox.net>
My baffle is cracked where the oil cooler attaches. I would like to fix
it correctly. Does anyone have a picture of how they fixed this issue?
I found this by searching the list but the link is dead and the email
address is invalid.
Thanks,

In the past, people have discussed how baffle mounted coolers vibrate
too
much and cause cracks in the baffling, or come close to coming off all
together. I have designed an additional support that I think will
solve the
problem. We will see, but it seems to make the baffle pretty much
indestructible. I have an 0-360 A2A dynafocal, so I do not know if it
work
on any other engine, but see for yourself. Any comments on how I can
improve this or if it has been tried before are welcome.

That link shows some photos of my recent enhancements to the oil
cooler/baffle area. Specifically the 3rd photo down. It's my experience
that if you don't brace your oil cooler in some fashion and/or beef up the
left rear corner, you will eventually see cracking at the weak points.
If you have a carbureted engine, the top of your case should be relatively
clear so you can brace from the case half bolts instead of the cylinder head
boss like I did -- with my flow divider and distribution tubes running
across the top of the engine, having a clear run to the case half joint
wasn't really feasible.
Hope this helps,

FAR 91.413 require the 24-month tests and inspections on ALL aircraft that
have ATC Transponder.
FAR 91.215 (a) says it must meet the performance and environmental
requirements of TSO-C74b orTSO-C74c. (It does not say it MUST be TSO'ed.)
Even if you are an AB EXPERIMENTAL, you MUST have a certificated repair
station do the work. FAR 91.413(c)(1). We are not technically the
manufacturer in the eyes of the FAA that would allow us to do it under FAR
91.413(c)(3)
Yes I am one of EAA's Volunteer AB DAR's from the first training class. My
MIDO office requires that it be done before I can issue your Special
Airworthiness Certificate and Operating Limitations.
