Changing the sample rate alone may not fix this properly. There needs to be a low pass filter either in the analogue output from the transducer or digitally in the data stream. Neither are difficult to impliment. My guess is they have implemented a digital filter.

Nice airport, excellent facility, lots of RV's from Canada and USA have attended. The Chapter will be open Friday afternoon through Sunday. Saturday activities are planned for all day and evening. Fly in to chat with other RV Builder/Flyers.

Perhaps some of these will show up on eBay or if you have contacts in Florida, have them nose around the airports and see what might be available from individuals? As someone mentioned, you would have to buy the whole airplane but there's lots of parts you could salvage from power and starter relays to instruments and radios. ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 05:43:51 AM PST US From: wgill10@comcast.net Subject: Re: RV-List: Riveting Aileron Top Skin --> RV-List message posted by: wgill10@comcast.net Look at Phil B's site.

I know this because I have had the displeasure of having two aircraft totalled, but at least the first one (piper Cherokee) was bought by an RV6 builder for the engine! Scott "rv6tc" Sent by: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com 09/08/2004 08:35 PM Please respond to rv-list To: cc: Subject: RV-List: engine cores --> RV-List message posted by: "rv6tc" Insensitive question follows...... Given the recent disaster(s) in Florida, one would assume that a number of rebuild-able engines/ cores would soon come on the market. If that is the case, do insurance companies sell directly to individuals, or are they all going to the big name shops? I'm not sure of the procedures involved when the claims get settled to part out the remains. Info would be appreciated.

Long story short, they only want to pay out for the vehicle once. They seem to feel that if the vehicle is sold to anyone other than a wrecking yard there is the possibility that they may have pay out on it again if it were repaired and re-insured. That's why a vehicle that gets damaged to any extent is nearly always salvaged. As a Licensed Dealer we've bought vehicles worth $30,000 for as little as $1500 that had less than $5,000 actual damage. The catch was they had "Salvage Titles" and could not be financed and most insurance companies wouldn't insure them. So they get parted out or scraped. The reason you hear that they have gone this way is to reduce or eliminate "Chop Shops", while in fact they actually perpetuate these operations. To that end, in most parts of the country that is why you have to be a Licensed Dealer to buy the salvage. Around the Pacific Northwest the insurance companies generally won't even talk to a private party, not even the owner. Can you say "Bureaucratic Involvement"? With the limited exposure I've had in dealing with aviation salvage, it's doesn't seem to be far behind in their mindset. As an option you only need a sign, a phone, a building, and pay a $150-$500 annual license fee to be a wrecking yard in some States. Just my two cents...

How do you seal and paint (white or light gray) an asphalt hangar floor that is dark, full of holes, greasy spots, etc.? I've been in hangars that are bare asphalt and the lighting becomes useless..... . I've been in hangars where the floor has been painted white or light-gray and everything seems brighter. I'm just looking for suggestions on material and methods to brighten up a hangar with a poor asphalt floor.....

It wasn't perfect, but it was a LOT better then asphalt!

The manual says to tighten the axle nut until all "side play" is removed but the wheel still turns smoothly. Frankly, I don't see any side play even with the axle nut removed, and the wheel turns pretty smoothly regardless of how hard I tighten by hand. So... how tight is tight? My intuition is to tighten it just barely snug, fingertip tight...? Thanks, Paul http://hmb.dyndns.org/~eastham 9A fuse/finishing
