Van's current "discount" shipper, Bullet Freight just shipped a QB fuselage to me. They told Van's, who in turn told me, the had a terminal where I live, in Tucson. They do not, nor do they share an inter-line terminal with any other company here. Nor do they own a terminal in Phoenix, which they also say they do. At the last minute, I had to arrange a terminal, workers, fork lifts, and further delivery of the crate to my shop. Anne at Van's was great, she called the logistics company and had the extra money taken off the bill before I finished writing my letter of complaint. The moral is: pay very close attention to detail and ask a lot of question about your shipment before hand. After the fact, Anne confirmed Bullet Freight's brochure showed 3 terminals in Arizona, which don't exist. Glenn in Tucson, -9A about to start fuselage. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:50:49 AM PST US From: "Shemp" Subject: Re: RV-List: First Flight --> RV-List message posted by: "Shemp" How can both wings be heavy? do not archive shemp ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Cole" Subject: Re: RV-List: First Flight > --> RV-List message posted by: Gary Cole > > Chris, > > Congratulation, and thank you for reporting an initial flight that wasn't perfect all around. > > I was beginning to wonder if I am the only one out there that didn't get it perfect out of the box. > > > Do not archive. > > Chris Brooks wrote: > --> RV-List message posted by: BrooksRV6@webtv.net (Chris Brooks) > > After 10+ years of construction RV-6 Ser. 22935 N164CB flew from MQY in > Smyrna TN today.

It is *not* coming from a base of 'liberal stupidity.' You can't watch the news for more than a few days without a new 'terrorist alert' from the supposedly 'conservative' current administration.

While reading this post, I watched a news segment about the treatment of those who publicly disagree with the current administration.

Their excesses stem from their numerous failures so they always over react. They have been given "what ever it takes" to protect the president as there are weird-dos out there besides the terrorists. There is even a statute by which you can be arrested merely by saying that the president should be shot or something to that effect. When people get stirred up there is always an extremist that will kill to try and solve the problem as they see it. Look at the abortion - anti- abortion or the white Supremes movement. And of course, the FBI helps these wako causes along by doing very dumb things like Ruby Ridge or Waco. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charlie England" Subject: Re: RV-List: GA Scare Piece > --> RV-List message posted by: Charlie England > > I must disagree. > > It is *not* coming from a base of 'liberal stupidity.'

The terror threat has abated!!! Good news. There are no radical Islamic terrorists in this country ready to kill themselves and us to further their zeal. It's all a politically motivated "stunt" to re-elect the current president. So was 9-11 just a stunt? Was the Cole? Kobar Towers (?) the embassy bombings? It must be easy to be a "pragmatist" and pretend that the threat isn't real. I have a friend that is a LtCol in Air Force (NRO) in DC visiting. We talked a little terrorism last night over a good dinner. Other friends that are with the FBI and the Treasury department are getting all sorts of wonderful briefings daily. Much worse than what you're seeing on you hated Fox News. So go ahead and vote for whomever you wish. But to assume that the threat is concocted by the administration is simply foolish. Enjoy that sand that you are buried beneath.

The "Post" & "NY Times" are a very poor place to get real and balanced news. A poll of the Media taken by the "Cleveland Plain Dealer" shows 82% of writers and broadcasters consider themselves Librail and Democrats and therefore a poor source of information and any unbiased opinions.

I did say that the administration is using the threat to manipulate citizens in general, and citizens who vote, in particular. For example, consider the Tom Ridge press conference *two days after* the Democratic convention, notifying the public of Critical Security Information (discovered *3 weeks before* the convention). For those who missed it, here's a link to DHS's text of the press conference: http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/display?content=3870 Read the entire text to get the imbedded campaign speech from the head of an agency that claims to be 'non-political'. If we assume that this (3 year old) information was critical to the protection of the American people, why was it, and the resulting security measures, withheld for an entire month & released 2 days after the Democratic convention? We are told, "Keep your heads in the sand, allow us to look into all your private & business records, submit to searches authorized by 'secret courts' without notification, vote for us & we will protect you from The Terrorists. No other effort is desired from you, except to denounce anyone who disagrees with our policies as a Traitor." Yet those of us with our heads *above* the sand can see that for all the freedoms lost & all the billions of tax $ spent, we are less safe today than on 9-12-2001. On that day, only a few thousand extremists still hated us. Today, the entire world hates us. This administration's actions have already taken away many of our rights & freedoms, and its foreign policy has radically increased the threats to our security. Need an example? How many times in the last three years have we gone more than a week or two without seeing news of airport 'security' being breached? Need another? How about our president 1st labeling North Korea, a country *proven* to posess nuclear 'WMD' material & a delivery system, as a member of the 'Axis of Evil', then taking no pre-emptive action against that country as he claims is his right & duty, then swapping insults with their obviously insane leader who has made direct threats to use his weapons against the USA, THEN announcing that he's pulling troops out of South Korea... None of the horrible acts you mention involved general aviation, yet you seem to be endorsing restrictions on our freedom to fly. (?) My apologies to those who feel this isn't RV-related, but I feel that if we wish to protect our right (not 'privilege', but right) to fly our RV's, we should focus not just on 'liberals' (who control nothing in our government at the present time), but on those who actually *are* actively trying to take our freedoms at this moment. I care not whether they paint themselves red or blue. I hope that these exchanges can remain a dialog (multilog?) & not be viewed by anyone as personal attacks.

What I'm trying to find out is when/if this mod was incorporated into the RV-3 kit. In other words, was there a certain time after which all RV-3 kits sold had the fork-type rear spar and carry-through attach structure and no retro-work was needed? I've searched the archives and have found little help, although I did read a post about the "A" designation later being dropped. Is that because the kits being produced had the upgraded structure? Thanks.

Here are some quotes from Van's RVator that shed some light on the situation. "We have prepared modification kits which we are sending out to all RV-3 owners requesting it. Modification kits for Type II RV-3s have already been sent out. We are now in the process of designing a new spar for use on all future RV-3s, and for retro-fit on under construction RV-3s." [1996] "We are now working on redrawing the wing plans and getting the new spar into production." [1998] "RV-3B wing kits are being prepared for market and we will again be able to offer complete RV-3 kits.

I've been happily leaving long trails over the past couple of weeks! I'll have pictures on my website soon. The kit is THE most complete kit that I've ever seen, from anyone. Comes with every little piece of hardware you can imagine, right down to Zip Ties, Hose Clamps, Electrical terminals and wire. The neat thing is that it comes with an adjustable valve where you can turn the smoke down from "full bore" to zero, which makes the oil last longer. Took me a whopping 2 hours to install the entire system! John, the guy who runs that company will happily answer any questions you have, and is a real nice guy. Tell him I sent you! Just my 2 cents! I'll hopefully have pictures soon.

Currently I'm burning hydraulic fluid thinned with mineral spirits (paint thinner). It's used hydraulic fluid and I "acquired" it for next to nothing. Here's the smoke oils to use in order of "Best First" along with cost. MDW Aviation "Super Dri" Smoke Oil. Costs: $6-10$ per gallon (depending on where you get it and if you can get it). Sold in barrels out of Illinois. Leaves little to NO film on the belly. Corvus Oil (Texaco Canopus 13), which is a concrete form release oil. Not quite as clean as the MDW Super Dri, but a little cheaper. Costs: $300-380.00 per 55gal barrel. Other Concrete form oils will work as well. Transformer Oil: (Texaco Univolt) Or equivalent. This oil is as good or better than Corvis, but at full bore can leave a little film on the belly. Cost: $160-200 per 55gal barrel. DO NOT buy used/old transformer oil, as it may contain PCB's which WILL kill you. Then on down the list, you can use almost anything, but you want an oil which is clear as possible and fairly lightweight in Viscosity. That's why I've been thinning the hydraulic fluid somewhat. Some people use kerosene/vegtable oil, hydraulic fluid, soy based oils, etc... That's just been my experience with other aerobatic airplanes and now my own "smoker"!!

That is, only as long as the airplane is being constructed and is deemed unairworthy. Reason why is that until the time the airplane is flying, in their eyes it's just a collection of parts that are considered my personal property and that is covered no matter where it's stored. My city even stipulated that my insurance has to cover the "city council members and all the officers of the city" as part of the policy, so I got AAA to add that phrase to my homeowner's policy.
