Are you Definately Sure?? Because as far as I could tell, Orndorff
sells a
set of 3 for $10.75+s/h, but none to be found on Avery's site or
Clevelands
site?
Also, has everyone just completely ignored Sam B. & Dan C's posts about
making them yourself?? They really only take a few minutes to whip out
and
are really simple to make (plus you'll never have to worry about a
"spare").
Save yourself $15.00 and make a few out of scrap.....
Just my 2 cents (and a few others as well).
Cheers,

I also had trouble removing Spraylat from my canopy. A high pressure washer
worked for me very well. I used a 2200 PSI washer and it blasted the Spraylat
of easily. In about 10-15 minutes it sparkled with no damage from the
pressure washer.

About 6 months ago specks in the fuel started to show up.
During preflight when the aircraft had set for some time, when I drain fuel
from under the wing I find some brown or blackish specks floating in the
fuel. It takes about 6 ounces of draining to clear up the specks. I don't
think it is from the fuel truck.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Could it be the tanks sealer is
dissolving?
I have a QB RV8, 10 months since first flight with 140 hours total.
Thanks,
Steve Glasgow

Bruno,
You need to set the GTX 327 to receive the Icarus format. I haven't installed mine
yet, but I have verified this in a bench test. The microEncoder from RMI calls
it the Northstar format and Transcal calls it the Trimble/Garmin format.
Nothing like standards to make all of this easier.

I decided not to make my own and ordered a set from Avery (p/n10728 pg 74 in
catalog $9.00/pr). They are absolute junk. The only item I purchased from
Avery that was not top notch. I will return them some day.
I just received a beautiful set from Karen at Aviation Products, in Ojai, CA
(ph 805-646-6042) p/n 5387 @$8.95/pr. She shipped them overnight and said
to send a check when received. Amazing service! Just trim to size, drill,
dimple, and rivet. No epoxe filler required on these.

Hi Guys & Gals,
Two questions. First is fairly simple; does anyone have or know where I can get
a pair of Van's "Old Style" top, aluminum wing root fairings?
Second is more complex; I've had an "interesting" short in my wiring for about
6 months. Everything is Fine in positive "G's" but when I get negative (anything
at or exceeding -1 "G" ) my Amp meter pegs out to the + side and my KLX-135A
re-sets. This is only momentarily; meaning it goes back to normal in a second
or two whether I release the negative "G" loads or not.
Now I've of course pulled everything apart, checked connections, re-placed the
Amp meter, and bundled any wires that could possibly touch anything. I'm wondering
if it could be something inside the alternator (Honda type from "Auto-Zone").
Any thoughts or "clues" would be greatly appreciated. This ones causing me to
gain mo' grey hairs. Thanks,
Chuck

Thanks for the suggestion. If the oil separator appears to be clear, I'll check
out the sensor connection. If I still get high pressure readings I'll replace
the sensor.

Chris.
I had trouble with my Rocky sensor, reading high oil pressure, also a VDO
and it turned out it was a bad connection.
The Rocky reads higher pressure as lower resistance, ie an open reads top of
scale. I assume yours is the same.

This is on an O-360-A1A with a carb & the standard low pressure engine
driven fuel pump. In normal cruise, I get a fuel pressure reading somewhere
between 2 & 5 psi, which is fine. The problem occurs intermittently when
taxiing, & recently in the air when throttling back for a descent. The
pressure climbs to 10-12 psi.

I have a home-made oil separator on the breather. Maybe this is blocked &
the engine is breathing through the whistle slot! I plan to check this in
the next couple of days.

I'd like to buy some West System epoxy or something

Spruce looks ok, but they won't ship it international
since they claim it is "hazardous". I don't really

I can buy it "locally", but its about 2.5x the US price,
and I can't really stomach that kind of markup.

Jeff,
It has been a while but I didn't have any trouble enabling approach on by
GX-60.
It must be connected to other devices for the approach function to be
enabled. The following is from the install manual. I can send the PDF to
you if you like.
For TSO-C129a A1 (non-precision approach) operation the following
connections are also
required:
. external lamp annunciators including "APPRCH" and "ACTIVE"
. an "OBS/HLD" external annunciator (with switch)
. altitude input from an altitude encoder/converter or air data computer

Chuck,
To the + side means the alternator is running away -- overcharging. Turn off
the alternator field breaker and try it. If that fixes it, it has to be in
the regulator or field circuit. If not??????? It certainly could be in the
alternator, or anywhere, I guess, until you find it!

My -6 has been doing this on the right tank since it was new (2000).
It's never been a problem and none has made it to the filter but it is
kind of annoying, wondering what it is. It almost has to be sealer since
it's there any time I sump the tank. Maybe I should save some and
analyze it.
Are you seeing it in both tanks?

Dave: I am not flaming -- Just curious and interested. Your plane has been
flying for 4 years and has been doing this since day one.
You are seeing bits of stuff but don't really know -- I guess you might be
suggesting it is proseal ?
Just wondering, did you build your own tanks or where they built by someone
else?
If you built them, was anything at all introduced into the tank other than
proseal?
Is it possible that the tanks were open to invasion by outsiders such as mud
dobbers or spiders that might of planted some materials inside the tanks
prior to them being sealed close? Anything other than fuel ever put into
the tank that you know of?
You say none of the bits made it to the filter. Let me ask, Do you have a
fuel filter or the Vans gascolator? If its the gascolator, when you drain a
bit from the gascolator do you have the electric fuel pump turned on? Larry

This might be a lame idea, but do the bits float or sink in fuel? I don't
know whether little crumbs of proseal would float or sink, but the fuel
sender gasket is cork. It could also be something from the sending unit
itself.

This may not be relevant to your situation but I had a similar problem after
I bought my Grumman back in '93. Dark specks kept showing up throughout the
next year. Inspections of the aux pump and carb filters (no gascolator on
a T-Cat) revealed nothing. Then, a wing drain became clogged. I removed it
(under proper supervision of course) and observed a wad of sticky crud in the
drain valve --- bug stuff. Same on the other side to a lesser degree. I
replaced the drains after tapping them and now have screws installed when
parked --- no problems since.

<<About 6 months ago specks in the fuel started to show up.
During preflight when the aircraft had set for some time, when I drain fuel
from under the wing I find some brown or blackish specks floating in the
fuel. It takes about 6 ounces of draining to clear up the specks. I don't
think it is from the fuel truck.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Could it be the tanks sealer is
dissolving?
I have a QB RV8, 10 months since first flight with 140 hours total.
