Larry, I used AKZO primer on my -6 and didn't remove enough from the skin
underneath the plate on the inside of the cocpit that the antennae screws
connect to. I had a poor ground plane and it showed. I removed all primer
to the bare aluminum under the plate and reattached the atennae. Works
great now. I pick up communications 70+ miles away that sound like they are
in my pattern.
Tom is right on about the SWR. I have a bent whip and it is supposed to be
about 1.2 SWR. There is a range that it should fall in and be Ok. Search
the internet for some good info on SWR.

Hi Listers - I wonder if any one can direct me to pictures/drawings/advice on installing
the Vans throttle quadrant in the centre of an RV6. I have opted not
to install the central console, and I don't like the vernier controls, so I
want to replace them with the quadrant style. Any advice greatly appreciated.

I'm anticipating the arrival of a constant speed prop so I mounted the
governor pad and gear along with the steel line to the front of the engine,
all which came with the engine originally. Is there any problem running it
this way until my prop comes in when I'll mount the governor & replace the
center plug in the crank?
I'll have a 300 hour Sensenich 70x80 prop in perfect condition with spinner
for sale when the new prop shows up. Also a prestolite starter with 300
hours in perfect condition for sale (no long cranks, engine always heated)
like new.

Larry,
These are all good suggestions on the VSWR and grounding. If this doesn't
fix the problem, make sure you don't have Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
being generated in the panel. I recently saw this problem with an
electronic engine monitor. The noise was desensitizing the receiver and
only strong signals were detectable. The noise would not break the squelch.

Larry, bring that plane up here when you fly off the restricted time, and we'll
slap my MFJ antenna analyzer on it and see where the SWR curve lies,and a few
other things.

| Subject: | RF interference. |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Richard Jason" <prestige@sover.net>
I recently installed a King KX 155 nav com in my RV-6 slider. The antenna, new
"Comant" is mounted on the top of the turtle deck 18" aft of the canopy skirt
when open.
Problem, whenever I transmit, the auto pilot, "Digitrak II" does an un commanded
abrupt turn and the trim indicator "Ray Allen" goes crazy, all the segments
lite up.
I have had our local avionics tech (very knowledgeable) check the system and it
appears to be fine. He believes, RF radiation from the antenna is passing through
the canopy and causing the problem???
My #2 com. an "Icom" with the antenna mounted on the underside of the fuselage,
causes no problems.
Fix, I moved the top mounted antenna from the top of the fuselage to the underside,
the same distance aft of the avionics stack, using all the original hardware.
I did not re-route the antenna cable, only moved it from the top to the bottom
of the fuselage. Problem disappeared??

Darn, I was going to mount my com antenna on the top of the rear turtledeck
also because the RV-3 sits so low to the ground and I don't like getting
poked with the belly antenna when cleaning down there. Could we hear from
anyone else with a top mounted antenna? Problems, or work ok?

The com antenna on my RV-6 tipup is mounted on the turtle deck and radio
performance is very good. I have seen occasions when some extra LEDS on
the EI fuel gage lit up during transmit, but no problems with avionics,
EZ-Pilot autopilot or RMI engine monitor. I have no idea whether or not
the top mounted antenna is the culprit.

--> RV-List message posted by: Jeff Point <jpoint@mindspring.com>
John,
If you run a fixed pitch prop with this setup, pressure will build up in
the oil line, which may eventually blow out the crank plug, leading to a
loss of oil in flight. This happened to at least one RV lister that I'm
aware of.
To run a fixed pitch prop with this setup, you need to do one of two
things. Either puncture a hole in the rear crank plug to keep pressure
from building up in the oil line, or replace the governor pad cover with
a cover designed for this application, which has a small groove machined
into it, serving the same purpose. Puncturing the rear crank seal is
more of a long term solution, since you are upgrading to a C/S prop
soon, I'd go with option B. I don't have the part number handy, but
call Bart at Aerosport Power, as he helped me with this and is familiar
with this part.

Nothing technical.....I had checked the coax cables and they were ok. Next,
pulled the antennae and cleaned ALL of the primer off under the attach
plate. Bingo!

I was planning this also but know of a couple of builders who started
down this path and reverted to the push-pull setup -
not sure why but suspect it was more trouble than it was worth. One guy
said he just could not get the engineering to work the way he wanted.
I would contact the manufacturer directly at
http://www.vansairforce.net/djm/djmmfg.htm#modelspricing to see what
information they might have.

Larry,
Jerry is correct that Bob is no longer selling his unit for the reason stated however,
I can tell you with certainty that he is still providing support. I have
been in touch with him a half dozen times over the last two months. He has
been very helpful. However, he told me just the other day that there have been
some serious health issue in his family that have required him to be out of
town. Also, the problem I was having ended up not being related to his unit.
It is was my head space and timing. The system is now working fine.

they have ever been before. The winter building season is starting up...I can

The only reason I point this out is, keep your records for yourself, and
your failing memory, not because of some vague ill understood ruling. Be
concise, but state what, when, and who did the maintenance, and remember
that these records can be used in any lawsuit, which in my opinion is a
prime motivator for them to not be so permanent.

I went with the one sold on B&C's site. It's just a turn signal relay I

This area would be on the belly of the plane, where the antenna sits on the

My Haan wig-wag is on a stick switch. B&C's would require use of a relay to
stay with this same lay-out, right?

I had lots of problems with a top mount antenna. It could trip the
electronic trigger on my ELT and caused noise on the intercom when
transmitting.
I moved the antenna to the belly just ahead of the spar on the right side
and all of the problems went away.

Scott
My experience was similar to Ivan's. I placed my order in March when Randy
was offering a discount, free shipping or something of that nature and then
kind of forgot it for a while. He did respond to my e-mail and said he had
been swamped with orders at that time. I have been under the impression
that he works for the titanium company and that his Ti-Downs are a spare
time project. I received my order sometime in June and considered the
product well worth the wait.

| Subject: | Constant Speed Prop Not Cycling |
--> RV-List message posted by: Ted Lumpkin <tlump51@sbcglobal.net>
I am getting my RV-4 prepped for the first flight and did my first run-up today
to continue with engine tests. When I tried to cycle the prop nothing happened.
No perceptible rpm drop or change in any way. Engine runs fine otherwise.
Here's the vital statistics:
Overhauled Hartzell compact hub prop
Overhauled Woodward governor
IO-360 from Bart LaLonde plumbed for c/s prop
Run-up rpm - 1700 rpm
Oil temp - 178 degrees
The engine and prop were in storage for about 3yrs.
I've checked the basics: cable connected, governor arm is moving, prop oil line
connected with no leaks.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Ted

My 8 QB wings were screwed to the box on the spar end, but
not on the wingtip. They use expandable foam bags for the
packing. I'd try hard to find a way to lay it down before
opening the box. It's really hard to get the box open due
to the billions of nails shot in everywhere with a nail gun.
