    Subject: RV-7A Tipup Install suggestion
    From: Sebastian Trost <sebastian.trost@sbcglobal.net>
    --> RV-List message posted by: Sebastian Trost <sebastian.trost@sbcglobal.net> Been a lurker and massive user of Dan Checkoway and Walter Tondu's web sites and this forum to speed my progress, but I think I have a good suggestion for aligning the tipup canopy frame I haven't read before. I used Dan's notes on interference to trim the alum spacers to allow the frame to move forward. I had a really hard time getting the skin to sit flat and flush to the subpanel flange. I couldn't get the duct tape to hold well enough to keep the skin in place. I decided to use tape for the top center portion of the skin. Then I put a ratcheting tiedown strap around the entire fuselage along the forward part of the canopy frame skin. After snugging it down, I was able to make some final adjustments to the skin to get it evenly aligned relative to the forward top skin. The strap kept the skin flush to the flanges and also kept the alignment in place. I was able to drill the splice plate and hinge flange with no problem with this setup. I hope this idea helps someone else. I have certainly saved a lot of time with the Matronics forum. Many thanks to all! Sebastian Trost RV-7A Tipup QB Working on Canopy Cameron Airpark, CA (O61)

    --> RV-List message posted by: "Ronnie Brown" <romott@adelphia.net> I urge all of us to respond to this threat against our GA freedoms by the sensationalist media. This tripe will lead to more TFR's, restricted areas, security at our small airports (have you noticed the miles of fences being put up around the mid size airports?????). Eventually we will lose the freedom to fly our airplanes anywhere. http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2004/08/26/analysts_warn_of_small_plane_terrorism_threat/ Take a few minutes and let the editor (unfortunately, Karen Schaler, the writer doesn't have the guts to list her email address) know what you think of this piece of journalism. letter@globe.com

    Subject: Nationair insurance news
    --> RV-List message posted by: "James E. Clark" <james@nextupventures.com> Ken (and listers), I spoke to JT a week or so ago as I was renewing. What you ****MIGHT**** be hearing (what I heard from JT) is that the program is so successful that he needed additional help ... could not keep up with all the answering of questions, getting new quotes, and whatever else insurance folks have to do. So he hired someone to take care of that part of the program that he felt he could off-load to a subordinate. So, I think it is simply a sign of success (a good thing!) and JT is still there. I have spoken to BOTH JT and the person that handles my policies. JT was just the same phone call away and the new (additional person ... sorry I don't remember his name at the moment) was very helpful and responsive.

    Subject: Re: Nationair insurance news
    --> RV-List message posted by: Rick Galati <rick6a@yahoo.com> For something over 4 years of building now, I have been virtually "self insured" all along including the potentially risky move to the airport. Very recently, I installed a Garmin stack (thank you, John Stark) which in one fell swoop dramatically increased the total investment in my unfinished RV-6A. After insistent prodding (nagging) from my wife, I finally called the AOPA inquiring about "builders insurance." Hard to believe, but after the initial telephone inquiry, it took the AOPA more than 2 weeks to get back with the news that such coverage was unfamiliar and not available through their good offices. Upon the recommendation of a fellow RV builder, I called Nationair which happens to be located right here (I had no idea) in River City and immediately secured 80K in non-motion Vanguard coverage for $413. Recently hired Aaron Wedge handled the whole thing. Relatively small premium, considerable coverage, and some welcomed peace of mind, especially considering all t he late afternoon thunderstorms we've had around here lately.

    --> RV-List message posted by: "Darwin Barrie" <ktlkrn@cox.net> Oh, give me a break about the "big brother" paranoia. I am putting in a 330 for the collision avoidance so I can live to see another fly-in. I live in a very congested area and the safety benefits far out weigh the costs. I have nothing to hide so I don't care if they track me or not. Secondly, how long until they are mandatory? If you don't live in a congested area don't even consider it. GOTTA GO, there's a black helicopter landing out back. Oh no, black Suburbans with guys in suits!!!! Darwin N. Barrie Chandler AZ

    Subject: Mode S response
    From: "Stewart, Michael (ISS Atlanta)" <mstewart@iss.net>
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Stewart, Michael (ISS Atlanta)" <mstewart@iss.net> Well believe it or not, I actually did get a response from an RV guy who actually has a flying airplane(RV), and mode S. I thought the list might find it interesting. Since he did not reply to the lis, I have kept him anonymous. <snip> Yep got that GNS430 and the GTX330 and I think its the best $2000 I spent since that hooker in Vegas. We can go up for a demo at GEZ, I'm planning on being there tomorrow. The 330 is really great for crowded airspace (your around ATL right?) and during formation it provides real peace of mind for protection. While the mode S can transmit N # it doesn't have to...my has never beeen program to do that. Its a better system then the airlines TCAS because you also get a vector line of traffic movement. <snip> Course when you don't want to be tracked, there is always the stby button. I cant think of a good reason during normal flight why I would not want to have this in my airplane. Now when I have my hotdog hat on, that's what the power switch is for I guess. I am as fearful of big brother as the next guy believe me (well maybe not as bad as some of you), but for my every days runnings around under my busy class B, and the handful of hours I fly cross country, this sure seems like cheap tcas to me.

    From: "Ken Brooks" <kenbrooks@charter.net>
    Subject: Boston Globe Article
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Ken Brooks" <kenbrooks@charter.net> Thanks to Jamie Painter's heads-up regarding Karen Schaler's article in the Boston Globe blasting GA aviation's terrorist threat, I clicked on the link and read the article. I couldn't resist penning a response and sent this letter to the editor. It probably won't get published, but it made me feel better. Do Not Archive Karen Schaler's article in the August 26th edition about the terrorist threat to general aviation was neither fair nor balanced, to borrow from the Fox News credo. It's just one more example in a sea awash in "sky is falling" fear mongering pieces that only presents one side of an issue in order to bolster the writer's position. As a commercial and private pilot, I abhor those security proposals that would ruin our way of life and limit our freedom to such an extent that the terrorists would achieve their goal without firing a shot. If we Americans had to foot the bill required to ensure that every one of our leisure activities was terrorist-proof, an oxymoron by definition, nobody would ever leave the prison-like shelter of their homes. Since 9-11, nearly 150,000 people have lost their lives in auto accidents on our nation's highways, yet nobody bats an eye because we've become so accustomed to it and just accept it as a fact of life. Well, at the risk of sounding omniscient, terrorism is a fact of life now and the sooner we put it in perspective, the better off we'll be. I don't mean to suggest we ignore it, I merely suggest we all take prudent measures to combat it, all of us, and get on with our lives. And while I'm "wishing for the moon", let's put political correctness in its proper place (in the trash can) and start to deal with terrorism with the same seriousness as the terrorists do in their attempt to achieve their goals. I've seen enough wheelchair-bound grandmothers patted down at the airports and enough amputees ordered to remove their prostheses because they set off the metal detectors to make me realize that we're governed by idiots. It's not too late to pool our energies and financial resources in intelligent and constructive ways to thwart terrorism. To do otherwise is to lie prostrate before murderers and acknowledge that they have won. I, for one, am not willing to do that. Ken Brooks Roscoe, IL RV-8 Panel and Electrical

    Subject: Re: Nationair insurance news
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Cory Emberson" <bootless@earthlink.net> Dave, Unfortunately, it's not a valid assumption. Builders coverage varies from one company/underwriter to another. And it can be complex. For instance, with Rotorway's agent of choice (Willis Caroon in Texas), they offer coverage for physical damage during construction, and third-party liability insurance one it's flying. But if someone watches you build and cracks their head on part of the project, your insurance won't coverage them. Generally, homeowner's insurance won't cover the project even if you're building it in your garage. How did I find all this out? <grin> The upcoming Kitplanes magazine (October) has an article I wrote about insuring homebuilts. I had to admit that the subject of insurance generally makes my eyes glaze over, but the people who provided information, including JT Helms (thank you!) made it interesting and understandable. thanks, Cory > --> RV-List message posted by: <dfiggins@es.com> > > As long as I am building in my garage I assume I am covered by my > homeowners policy, is this a valid assumption? > > Dave Figgins RV-7A empennage

As you'll hear about any insurance question that starts with "am I covered...", the answer is "it depends". Some builders have discussed their projects with their insurers and found them to be quite amenable to insuring it. In some cases additional coverage was added to cover the increased equity in the tools or in the kit materials. Others found that their existing coverage was adequate for their tools, and that the kit parts were covered under "contents." Other builders were told flat out that their complete homeowner's policy was null and void the day they mentioned they were building an aircraft in the basement. I still don't know what those people did to work out their insurance. If you don't tell your insurer that you're building, you run the risk of being denied coverage in the event of the claim for not providing full disclosure. If you do tell them, you run the risk of having coverage denied up front because you are building. So unless you can self-insure (as some do), you're better off discussing the situation up-front with your insurer and making sure you're covered. If you're concerned about having your coverage pulled if you bring up the topic, shop around first and find one or two insurers who *will* cover you while you're building. Then you're in a much stronger bargaining position with your current insurer if they try to pull your coverage. And you have a place to go if it doesn't work out. -Rob (currently building under normal homeowner's coverage only)

Sorry about that. I have no idea about lower pay for commercial pilots but will say that I did not draw the inference from the paper that Dan did. On the contrary, trained pilots were able to fly two simulators simultaneously, each with different maneuvers, while in severe turbulence. What they seem to have shown is that OZ is easier to learn, and once learned is easier to use while producing superior results. The illustrations included in the paper are not sufficient to form a complete impression but after thinking about the concepts a little my reaction is "where can I sign up?" The bug eyed mastery of 14 clocks as someone has said, enables a skilled practicioner to succeed but is far from ideal. To evaluate the two systems from the standpoints of the learning curve and the success rate they must needs use untrained subjects else the comparisons be completely skewed. I will be very interested in the follow ups to this program and hope that more will be published. This seems to be right up the alley for outfits like Grand Rapids Technology and Dynon. I can hardly wait. Gordon Comfort N363GC

If the offer is good enough it may entice me to spend the extra money to upgrade. Hey Gummo, if you buy it I'll deliver it for nothing on my next walk.
