It is with great joy and equally great sadness that my RV-6A is for sale. Joy
because my new RV-7A with a new XP-360, C/S prop and all Glass cockpit is complete
and ready to fly and sadness because I have to part with my award winning
RV-6A to pay for it.
N641JC has a Lycoming O-320 (300 hours since reman to factory new specs and all
AD's complied with) with an Ellison Throttle Body and one Lightspeed electronic
ignition. It has a Sensenich metal cruise prop. It is full IFR with a dual
axis autopilot. Radio is a Narco Mark 12D+ VOR/ILS/COMM. GPS is Apollo GS
50 IFR approach certified. Narco transponder. Rocky Mtn engine monitor. Angle
of Attack by Proprietary Systems. Heated pitot static probe. Lambs wool
interior by D.J. Laurentsen.
Interested persons can email me off list and I will send pictures and more info.

I love to read that kind of stuff. :-) Thankfully, the engine in question
is like the Grumman-American series aircraft. Those had a reputation for
being pilot unfriendly around airport bum club groups, based on stories
about the early American AA1 series aircraft. Because of that, purchasing
one was a terrific bang for the buck, until some of us finally found out the
bums didn't know what they were talking about. I had 9 good years with my
Cheetah. I thought it was easier to fly than the C172 I'd owned. Of
course, the bad reputation came from poor pilotage. Those same bums didn't
realize their Cessnas hid a lot of that from them, unless they were really
bad pilots. :-)
The H2AD engine's problems were quickly taken care of; so, they are now a
great bang for the buck because the older pilots remember when they first
came out, and nothing else. One can get a H2AD for a much lower price than
a regular O320. The only thing I don't like about them is the placement of
the fuel pump. Will Cretsinger got around that by using two electric fuel
pumps with a back up battery, in case of alternator failure.
Speaking of Will, he bought a used H2AD and put it right on his RV. He flew
it until it was getting close to TBO. At that point, he was also thinking
about selling it his RV. He couldn't make up his mind to overhaul the
engine, or not. I suggested that he just buy another good H2AD and save on
the overhaul. I'm not sure if he did, or not; but, it seemed like a
reasonable idea, at the time. I think a replacement with some hours was
going for about $2500. That was just a year, or so, ago. :-) Now, that's
a good one for the budget minded. It's almost as cheap as an auto
conversion. :-)

Subject: RV-List: Question for the aerodynamycists
--> RV-List message posted by: "Richard Bibb" <rebibb@comcast.net>
I am going to install a NACA vent on the side of the forward fuselage on
the RV-4 I am rebuilding. I am thinking of installing it right below
the cowl cheek angled downward so that the longitudinal axis of the vent
is parallel to the logitudnal axis of the cowl cheek extension. My
thought is the pressure will be positive in this area and will result in
good positive airflow into the vent (this will be for fresh air
ventilation to the front cockpit).
Does it make an appreciable difference? As in most things the best
idea
would be to try it to find out but that is not practical given the hole
I need to cut in the fuselage skin.
I'm looking for opinions and/or experience with this location. Is my
thinking sound or am I missing something?
Net, net - I'd like to install on the right but the left seems like a
better location. Which is best and will either work?

IGX.
Richard: I cannot say which side is best, but I can tell you that the
right side works very well. Mine is located on the right, vertical
placement is about midway between the cowl cheek extension and the wing,
inclined roughly paralleling the cheek extension and the incoming air
will blow a chart out of your hands at speeds above the stall. Not much
flow on the ground.

Looking for info on RVs, more specifically RV-8s, at KTOA.
Or surrounding airports: KSMO, KLGB, KHHR.
I'm considering moving there and RV's / Airports will weigh heavily into my
decision.

Finn,
Your original post said "I think only two 3/16" bolts hold the
tie-down pipe to the spar web." Wicks catalog gives a rated strength
in shear of 2,125 lb for an AN3 bolt. It isn't clear at first glance
whether this is an allowable design strength (i.e. it is acceptable
to have normal design loads up to this value), or whether it is a
guaranteed ultimate strength. Some other references give lower
values, so I assume that 2,125 is an ultimate strength, and the other
references are providing allowable design loads.
Assuming 2,125 lb is an ultimate strength, two bolts would be 4,250
lb, but that assumes that the load is shared equally between the two
bolts. In practice I suspect the lower bolt would get more than 50%
of the load, as the tie-down pipe might stretch a bit. So you
probably shouldn't count on the bolts taking more than 3,000 lb load,
maybe even less. This assumes that the load is perfectly aligned
with the tie down pipe. A misaligned load would probably increase
the stress on the lower bolt even further.
The limiting factor might be somewhere else. Depending on the thread
size of the hole, and material of the tie down ring, you might find
that it breaks first. Or, depending on the material and cross
sectional area of the tie down pipe, perhaps it is the weak link.
Or, maybe the spar itself will be the first thing damaged (hopefully
not - a good design would have something else fail before the spar
incurred damaging loads).
What is the thread size and pitch of the tie down hole? What is the
material and cross sectional area of the tie down pipe? What is the
spar material and dimensions where the tie down pipe attaches to it?

I finished installing my wheel pants last night and have one question:
The plans say to safety wire the bolt head that holds the outside
bracket to the large axle nut. However, the bolts supplied in my
wheel pants kit don't have drilled heads. Also, the bolts go into
a nutplate that has the usual anti-vibration crimp. Do I need to
buy new drilled head bolts or is the nutplate crimp sufficient?
Have others received drilled head bolts or are regular un-drilled
bolts now standard?
Thanks,

Painting Gurus,
Say you only wanted to paint your RV's fairings, tips, pants, skirt, you
know, the glass parts, to sort of fool the non-RV world that it's all
aluminum, what paint would you choose, and maybe why? I see PPG has all
those "Mist" names for what-- on the computer screen-- look to be
aluminum-like paints for Audi, Jaguar, Mercedes, etc.. But some of you must
already have worked out this not-as-easy-as-it-looks problem. [No pun
intended] Thanks,

Anyone have an idea of when Garmin will end their no-discount threat on the Garmin
296? Is this a new tactic they're trying or is there some historical evidence
of how long they usually do this for a new product?
Thanks.

Eric,
The RV population at Torrance is growing rapidly.
I'm building an 8 QB with my father, and there is
another flying 8A based there. There are also several
6's and 4's on the field, and at least 1 F1 Rocket
under construction.

I'm not sure there is an answer to you question, but I can make a
guess. According to the McMaster catalog a plain steel 3/8 inch eyebolt
has a load rating of 1,300 lbs. Since on the RV the eyebolt is screwed
into aluminum alloy threads, and a good aluminum alloy is close to the
strength of a plain unalloyed steel, I would tend the think the load
ratting would be at most that of the plain steel eyebolt, 1,300 lbs.
Now the question becomes how much wind do you need to produce 1300 lbs
of lift on each wing with the plane in tail wheel attitude. Just a wild
guess here but I am pretty sure that it would be less than 100 mph.
Of course if you attach some kind of stall strip to the top of the wing
it would help. That brings up an idea I had for people who commonly tie
down their RV in high winds. Why not modify the tie down hard point so
you can screw into it from the bottom and top of the wing, then add a
second one some distance away from the first. It would then be very
easy to bolt an aluminum angle or just a 2 x 4 to the top of the wing to
kill the lift from strong winds.

Doug,
The hex head bold that held the wheel pant onto the outside bracket on my
RV-4 used to come loose all the time. I disregarded it one time too many,
and upon landing one day, the bolt fell out completely, and the wheel pant
was twisted around by the tire and the backing plate was destroyed. I have
a new backing plate and repaired the cosmetic damage to the wheel pant, BUT
I now use a simple split lock washer. 350 additional hours and no problem.
I don't know where you would secure a safety wire to.

Directly from their website.
Bright VFD or Backlit LCD Display
Trying to read the LCD (liquid crystal display) screen on most handheld
and many panel mounted GPS receivers can be difficult in poor lighting
conditions. The EZ Pilot overcomes this difficulty by providing a
bright vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) to present information to the
pilot. While this is the optimum solution in a majority of
applications, it may tend to "wash out" in direct sunlight. In aircraft
that experience a lot of direct sunlight on their instrument panels, an
LCD option (backlit for night operation) is also available.
======
From here: http://www.trioavionics.com/Features.htm#Bright_VFD_Display
======
Get the LCD display and hang on to your seat when you fly with this
little gem. It will exceed your expectation for price and performance.
Nothing in my glass cockpit, dual EI plane performs as well at this
price point. Nothing even comes close actually.
Regards,
Mike Stewart

potential. Great, that's good to hear. NOW..could you please tell me and
the rest of the people on the list about the EZ Pilot electronics that
you've mated to your Navaid servo???? You say that the digital autopilots
are light years beyond the Navaid, great generalization, everybody else says
that too!!! How bout some good solid opinion on the EZ Pilot II by someone
who's used it quit a bit lately??? Don't worry about stirring up a hornets

I had an O-320H2AD engine in my C-172. I had it overhauled and ran it for 2400
hours with absolutely no significant problems. The only thing that gave me problems
was the dual mag, which is a pain to work on and I don't think is a good
idea. The engine compression was still in the mid to low 70's when I sold
it. It was a great engine. We used Aeroshell 15w-50 which is required by AD
(or you can use the Lyc additive). But I believe the real key is the plane flew
frequently and never sat for more than 2 or 3 days without being flown.
