--> RV-List message posted by: Paul Lein <pj115@journey.com>
Hello all,
After much soul-searching and hand-wringing, I've decided to sell my
RV-6A. Since I have been off the RV list and pretty much out of touch
since the construction phase was over, I need to return for advice from
my fellow builders.
How can I best get up to speed with resale prices on RVs? In looking at
a few online ads in Trade-A-Plane, it appears they are selling for more
than they were just a few years ago. Is an ad in Trade-A-Plane still
considered the best "bang for the buck" in reaching the wide number of
potential buyers or is selling through the Internet, like
Barnstormers.com, a better way now?
I'm located in Mid-Michigan, but of course since the airplane is
finished it could easily be flown cross-country by any buyer. Any
up-to-date advice or insight would be appreciated.
Cheers, Paul

--> RV-List message posted by: Bruno <rv4@videotron.ca>
Hello All
For all interested, here's my 2 cents on the issue.
I went from a Warnke wood prop ( Good prop by the way) to a 3
Bladded Catto Prop and I did not regret it ever. The smoothest and extra
ground clearance ( 64 X 70 ) were plus in the decision to go this way.
Not to mention the great look and good comments on how beautiful it looks
whenever I go to a Fly-In.
It's built very solid. I flew thru moderate rain at 120 Knots
indicated and did not even shipped the paint off the tips. I wouldn't try
that with a wood prop.
Craig Catto was also very nice to do business with.
E-mail me direct if you would like pictures of my RV-4's
installation.
Cheers

If you have a metal prop, you can ignore this post.
>I have a wooden prop and was checking the torque. I set my torque
wrench to
>the desired setting of 25 ft lb and check the bolts. They all were =>25
ft
>lbs as none of them moved when checked. My question is do you back off
the
>bolts and then retorque or is the method I used sufficient?
How often do you change your oil? The cowl is off, the bolts are
exposed; good time to check the torque. SO: about every 25 hours or so.
If you don't fly more than 50 hours a year or more, check them every
three months. Or if it has sat around all winter or other down time,
check it before you take your next flight.
Wood props absorb and lose moisture; they swell and contract. Metal
props, of course, don't do that. SO: if you are checking the torque by
just nudging up to the 25 foot-pounds, you know the torque is at least
that. But what if the prop has swollen and the bolts are now at 35
foot-pounds? Back them off, come up to the proper torque. That way you
know all of the bolts are at 25 pounds, not 23, 37 ,31, 28 etc.
Other care and feeding: keep your prop clean. Bugs all over the prop
looks bad and MAY be eating into the finish of the props. Who knows
(besides spiders, that is) what is in bugs. What to clan it with after
each flight: water. Avoid harsh cleaners. Once every few weeks, clean it
really well with something like Dawn dish soap, rinse it well, dry it
and rub a coat of carnauba wax on it. Helps protect the finish and makes
the bugs WAY easier to remove.
You may notice the trailing edge is actually looking worse than the
leading edge if it has been exposed to moisture (rain at OSH) at all.
The finish may be a little thin back there and the tell-tail sign is a
little lightening of the color of the wood, like you would expect if the
wood was getting wet. Because it maybe has. Clean off the above
mentioned wax and put three or four coats of exterior spar varnish
lightly on the trailing edge with a Q-tip, letting each coat dry before
the next. If the trailing edge is DOWN, it won't run all over the rest
of your prop. You shouldn't be putting it on that thick anyway; just on
the trailing edge and just enough to reseal it.
A bare hand run along the leading edge-trailing edge, front-back of both
blades of your wood prop and a visual look should be, of course, a part
of every preflight. If the finish is getting to feel rough, intervene
before the structure is affected. You may need to send it in to be
refinished. Or, if it is too late, shop for a new prop.
I LOVE my Bernie Warnke Almost Constant Speed prop that is now almost 7
years and over 800 hours old and still looks brand new. Just like
anything else: take care of it, it will take care of you. And that is a
good thing.
IMHO, of course. YMMV.............

Paul,
List it on Doug Reeve's site....vansairforce.net. Huge amount of exposure
to the RV community there. I'm selling my RV8 to a local buyer (if he can
fit in the plane at 6'4"), but if that falls through, I will likely go this
route. Also try posting pics/specs on local FBO bulletin boards.
Barnstormers.com is another popular venue.

--> RV-List message posted by: Ted Lumpkin <tlump51@sbcglobal.net>
I'm finishing up my RV-4 and am done with my painting equipment so I'm putting
it up for sale.
One Citation HVLP Turbine system with fresh air supply respirator.
This unit includes 40 ft. of hose and I've modified it to pick up the fresh air
remotely so you don't have to put the unit so far from your paint booth. The
fresh air system is the mask type, not a hood. It includes an HVLP gun. The
unit is in excellent condition, but the gun needs a new seal. The gun comes
with extra needles. The gun air line has an in-line shut-off valve. I purchased
it from Aircraft Spruce. $500 obo + shipping (when comparing prices don't
forget this includes the air respirator unit. A lot of HVLP sprayers don't).
One pneumatic paint shaker. This is a Harbor Freight unit. It works very well
and is in like-new condition. It will easily handle a one-gallon can and will
adjust for quarts as well. It includes a in-line air oiler. $70 obo + shipping.
Please e-mail me off -list if you're interested. I will gladly send pictures.
I'm in Los Angeles, CA.

| Subject: | Which GPS should I buy |
--> RV-List message posted by: dmedema@att.net
Hi listers,
I don't want to start an argument, but I need some advice
on which GPS to buy. I've had the plane flying since last
November and I want to buy a GPS real soon!
I designed my panel thinking I would put in a HP iPAQ
running Anywhere Map. Since then, I've watched some
nice GPS come out like the Garmin 296 (won't fit), the
Lawrence 2000C (I was really interested in this but it
won't fit either), and the Garmin 96C. The 96C will
fit but it has a pretty small screen. All things considered,
I think I'm going with Anywhere Map.
This brings up the question of which PDA. Control Vision
recommends two different iPAQs, but I'm intrigued by the
Dell Axim X30. The screen is a bit smaller (3.5" vs 3.8"
diagonal), but the speed is quite a bit higher. Control
Vision sells a package for the Axim which includes a
Compact Flash mount GPS, some cables, and the
Anywhere Map software. However, the X30 doesn't
have a CF slot and I really don't like the idea of a flash
card mount GPS anyway given I want to mount the PDA
under my Dynon. Does anyone know what my options
are for a GPS with the X30? Is anyone using an Axim
with Anywhere Map? If so, how do you like it?
Thanks in advance,
Doug Medema

| Subject: | On board WX was, Which GPS should I buy |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Doug Rozendaal" <dougr@petroblend.com>
Doug,
On board WX may be a factor to consider in your purchase. I did a demo on
WX worx weather for an article for IFR magazine. This is a big deal! It is
real, it works, and in a few years it will be nearly as common as GPS and
everybit as useful.
I went to OSH to buy a system to display WX weather. I came home confused.
After that, I tried an Ipaq that belonged to a friend, with anywhere map and
WX Worx weather. I thought it would be great in the RV, but I was very
disappointed. the screen was hard to read, I don't think a mounted Ipaq
would work, because I had to tilt it to deal with glare.
The anywheremap software may work ok, but when you put the wx on the map, it
overloads the processor.
I tried a fujitsu p-600 with an ADR screen upgrade, and it is really cool,
but it is a $4000 600mhz out of date tablet pc.
Being true to my Dutch heritage, I just bought a fujitsu p600f on ebay for
$600 to display WX worx. I made a little box with the reciever, USB hub to
split the GPS/wx data, the power supply for the tablet pc.
The 600F has a transflective display. if you move it around, it is always
readable, the processor is slow but acceptable, the WXworx software works
really well, but it seems to be a processor hog. The recommend a 1gig
machine and the fujitsu is 600mhz.
The WX worx software with a GPS doesn't replace a handheld GPS, it just
tells you speed and heading and that is all. Other companies have and are
creating software to run on the PC platform, and I may upgrade, but I will
still have a battery powered handheld GPS onboard anytime I am IFR. ( I
just bought a lowrance airmap 500 and I love it!) I have flown with the 196
and 296 and they are both great units, I like the small size of the 500 and
the fact that it runs over 10hrs on 2 AA bats.
I have flown 3 trips with the fujistu, and I am really happy with it. It is
like having the ADDS weather site in your cockpit. One thing about it, an
autopilot would be almost mandatory, because it captivates alot of
attention, but it is GREAT information!

Doug,
If you decide to go with a hand-held GPS, don't forget to have a look at the
new $700 Garmin 96C. The current issue of Aviation Consumer reviews it and
the similar monochrome $500 96 quite favorably.

Doug,
If you decide to go with a hand-held GPS, don't forget to have a look at the
new $700 Garmin 96C. The current issue of Aviation Consumer reviews it and
the similar monochrome $500 96 quite favorably.

Hi listers,
I don't want to start an argument, but I need some advice
on which GPS to buy. I've had the plane flying since last
November and I want to buy a GPS real soon!

Subject: RV-List: Best way to sell an RV these days
--> RV-List message posted by: Paul Lein <pj115@journey.com>
Hello all,
After much soul-searching and hand-wringing, I've decided to sell my
RV-6A. Since I have been off the RV list and pretty much out of touch
since the construction phase was over, I need to return for advice from
my fellow builders.
How can I best get up to speed with resale prices on RVs? In looking at
a few online ads in Trade-A-Plane, it appears they are selling for more
than they were just a few years ago. Is an ad in Trade-A-Plane still
considered the best "bang for the buck" in reaching the wide number of
potential buyers or is selling through the Internet, like
Barnstormers.com, a better way now?
I'm located in Mid-Michigan, but of course since the airplane is
finished it could easily be flown cross-country by any buyer. Any
up-to-date advice or insight would be appreciated.
Cheers, Paul

I, personally, think the lowrance 1000/2000C choice is a no brainer.
Don't know why you would buy anything else.
$999.00 color
750.00 B&W
Put it on your knee; velcro to the panel....
Dave
BTW: I, too, would like to know what they said about it.

I did it for my -6 after reading about it in an RVator magazine.
Was relatively easy to do and turned out great. Then I did the upper piece
in aluminum as well, with similar results.

--> RV-List message posted by: "Scott VanArtsdalen" <svanarts@yahoo.com>
I have an iPAQ 5555 running AnywhereMap and it works well. I wouldn't
go with a PDA that had a small screen. Get the biggest screen you can.
I can run AWM, and have media player going in the background playing my
MP3's with no noticeable degradation in performance.
You might also check into their new hardware platform the Raven. It's
going to have an integrated GPS with a large screen.
Doug Rozendaal pointed out their WX offering. They also have an XM
weather product now which is all the rage on the ControlVision forums.
That's probably another good place to check into before buying a PDA,
there are all kinds of opinions there. http://forum.controlvision.com/
They also have AnywhereMapXP which will run on a laptop or tablet PC but
the caveat there is size, space, and altitude. Most hard disks have an
altitude limitation of about 10,000 feet.
The only thing I would warn you about re: AWM is to purchase THEIR GPS
module whether it is a CF unit or a BlueTooth unit. Otherwise you won't
be able to utilize WAAS. Again, do a search on their forums to find out
why.

Hi listers,
I don't want to start an argument, but I need some advice
on which GPS to buy. I've had the plane flying since last
November and I want to buy a GPS real soon!
I designed my panel thinking I would put in a HP iPAQ
running Anywhere Map. Since then, I've watched some
nice GPS come out like the Garmin 296 (won't fit), the
Lawrence 2000C (I was really interested in this but it
won't fit either), and the Garmin 96C. The 96C will
fit but it has a pretty small screen. All things considered,
I think I'm going with Anywhere Map.
This brings up the question of which PDA. Control Vision
recommends two different iPAQs, but I'm intrigued by the
Dell Axim X30. The screen is a bit smaller (3.5" vs 3.8"
diagonal), but the speed is quite a bit higher. Control
Vision sells a package for the Axim which includes a
Compact Flash mount GPS, some cables, and the
Anywhere Map software. However, the X30 doesn't
have a CF slot and I really don't like the idea of a flash
card mount GPS anyway given I want to mount the PDA
under my Dynon. Does anyone know what my options
are for a GPS with the X30? Is anyone using an Axim
with Anywhere Map? If so, how do you like it?
Thanks in advance,
Doug Medema
