    --> RV-List message posted by: Mickey Coggins <mick-matronics@rv8.ch> Hi, I bought this stuff from Van's: http://www.vansaircraft.com/cgi-bin/catalog.cgi?browse=misc&product=proseal but it does not seem to be the same stuff that was used on my QB tanks. The stuff on the QB tanks is much tougher, whereas the Van's fuel tank sealant is a bit rubbery, and about the strength of RTV. Does anyone know where I can find the really tough stuff? Thanks, Mickey -- Mickey Coggins http://www.rv8.ch/ #82007 QB Wings/Fuselage

    From: lm4@juno.com
    --> RV-List message posted by: lm4@juno.com Matt, I take my pressure two or more times during a certian workout that I do three times a week. My pressure can read from 72 to 84 Sys and from 112 to 134 Dias. from day to day and from minute to minute. They are "before exercize and after exercize" As far as I'm concerned they are not very good gauges of B.P. A problem I have perceived is that Doctors take your press. when you come into thier office and it doesn't seem to matter where your heart rate is. To me that's confusing. At any rate, I guess I'll have to get off the coffee and try the walking discipline. I am writing this to you to suggest that when you visit your doctor you might sit in his office a few minuts to your heart rate to lower before you allow him to take your press. HTH.

    --> RV-List message posted by: David Nelson <david.nelson@pobox.com> Hi Mickey, Don't if it makes any difference, but possibly the QB proseal has had a much longer time to cure. Since it's a chemical reaction, I wonder if it ever _really_ stops curing. Kinda like cement, it becomes harder and harder as time goes on.

It's been curing since August 16th, so I figure if it was going to get much tougher, that should be enough time. My shop is pretty cool, tho, about 15-19c. It seems that the stuff they used in the QB is different from what I bought from Van's.

    --> RV-List message posted by: "Jim & Bev Cone" <jimnbev@olypen.com> One way to increase the glide distance with a C/S prop is to pull the prop control all the way out so the pitch is not so flat. That makes it more like a fixed pitch prop as far as drag is concerned. Jim Cone 3-Peat Offender

    Subject: Re: Medical Question...
    --> RV-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com> Well, Thank You to everyone that responded to this thread. I found a lot of very useful advice in the comments. I think the biggest thing I can do is lose weight and start getting serious about exercising. I've gained about 80 lbs in the last 12 years and that's just got to go. Damn this computer! I used to have very excellent blood pressure, considered on the "low side". I think that I will work the lbs/exercise issue before dealing with the FAA. I hate to raise any flags there. Again, thanks for all the great feedback; it is most appreciated!!

Now, you have to get a grip, 'cause the best is yet to come: having the flight controls hooked up and moving, the first time you flip the master switch and stand back with the fire extinguisher, the first time the engine fires up, and all the loose bits in the cockpit and your loose hair go flying down the driveway and swirls around inside the garage and, finally, the first flight.

    --> RV-List message posted by: "DAVID REEL" <dreel@cox.net> Nobody is responding to the rudder balancing portion of your question Mickey. The counterweight is not heavy enough to balance the rudder so just use the entire weight as far forward as it will mount. The result will just be 'less unbalanced'. Dave Reel - RV8A

    Subject: Proseal vs. Proseal
    --> RV-List message posted by: "Dean Pichon" <DeanPichon@msn.com> There are lots of polysulfide sealers and quite a few variations of ProSeal - the most well known trade name for a polysulfide sealer. Some time ago PPG purchased the DeSoto company and the ProSeal trade name. Their website has good info on selecting the appropriate grade for a given application. For instance there is a high seal/low adhesion variant for use on access ports in fuel tanks. Seals well, but has low shear strength. If your product is a ProSeal product you can cross reference the P/N on the website and see exactly what you have. The website is below: http://www.ppg.com/prc-desoto/main.asp?img=seal&menuID=3&contLvl=fuelstd &catID=8&prodLvl=na&prodID=8 Good luck, Dean Pichon Bolton, MA RV-4, 220 hrs -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Mickey Coggins Subject: RV-List: Proseal vs. Proseal --> RV-List message posted by: Mickey Coggins <mick-matronics@rv8.ch> Hi, I bought this stuff from Van's: http://www.vansaircraft.com/cgi-bin/catalog.cgi?browse=misc&product=pros eal but it does not seem to be the same stuff that was used on my QB tanks.

    Subject: RE: Flap Skin Part Number?
    From: "" <tx_jayhawk@excite.com>
    --> RV-List message posted by: "" <tx_jayhawk@excite.com> Actually, I answered my own question. It appears the flaps are not the same. The hole patterns are clearly very different between the 7 flap spar and 8 skin. Also, as I thought about it, I realized that it would make sense that the 8 flap was a little longer (since the fuselage is more narrow). Great start to a now unproductive weekend (and probably week) waiting for new skins to arrive. Scott 7A Wings www.scottsrv7a.com ............................. Stupid question that I can't believe I cannot find in the archives... My plans call for 701 and 702 as the flap skins (it's a 7A). The skins I have are labeled 801 and 802. I assume they are the same? I think it is the same wing, but I thought I would double-check before drilling the skin. ......................

    Subject: extra RV nosewheel bearings for sale
    --> RV-List message posted by: SportAV8R@aol.com Hey, gang- awhile back I bought some replacement Timken nose wheel bearings for the -6A from Van's, not realizing they were the wrong type for my older style wheel assembly, which uses the non-sealed bearings. I no longer have the receipt, so return is OOTQ. I'll let 'em go reasonable to any builder who needs an extra set or wants spares. These are Timken part number LM-67000L-A, with the neoprene dust seal attached, and are new &unused. Contact me off list if interested. Thanks. -Bill B --We now resume regular, noncommercial programming-- do not archive
