The first production run of the E Mag has not been shipped out yet, expected soon.
They say that several RV are on the shipping schedule. Each unit delivered
cost is listed on their web site. I am on the shipping schedule for a P Mag,
and will report back to the list my observation.

Dave,
(1) We did not prime the nutplates but did prime the underlining metal
(2) I don't remember any specs
We did used a number of floating nutplates - more expensive but much easier
to use if you're hole is just alittle off.
Good Building,
Chuck

I've seen folks who have placed small plastic caps over their various AN
fittings and open tube ends prior to making final connections. I'd like
to get some of these (in various sizes) to cap off my fittings and open
tubes to keep bugs and other debris from sneaking in. Does anyone have a
handy source for these sorts of things, or any other suggestions on how
to close off these openings?

Well it depends on which model airplane you are building and a couple of
options. Each of the models is priced by the hours it takes to asseble. For
most of them the basic labor is just under $1000.00 per set.....the RV10
runs $1700.00. The options are the aerobatic modifications and the
capacitive sending units. Please visit my website or give me a call with any
questions. Or you can email your number and I will call you back. I love to
talk RV's! Ok....gotta go get sticky, Im building a set for a guy who found
a bunch of loose slosh in his tanks. (Be careful guys)

I just stuck one of those squishy earplugs in each one and let it expand to
fill the hole. I just didnt stick it in past about half way so it wouldnt
get stuck. It works and its cheap.

You and Charlie both said ACS has 'em .. but I went searching there yesterday
and couldn't find them (thus my posting asking for a source). At least I could
not find anything that seemed to be what I want ... but I suspect I am not
using the right search string. So, if anyone happens to know a part number
I would be quite thankful! :)
However, now that I *know* that they can be found there, I'll also search a
bit harder. Thanks!

Good suggestion. As a note, after some more searching I did find 'em. They

Lucky,
I sent the below to Xcom 12 days ago and haven't heard back. Prior to this I had
sent 2 or 3 other emails inquiring about my order with no answer.
I wasn't aware that Spruce had them in stock, but I'm not sure I want one after
I found out how it operates.
Note in the text below how the flip-flop and memory functions work on this radio.
The short of it is that in memory mode you can't use the dual-watch function amongst
other shortcomings.

sure the way the radio would work in MEM mode was that one would scroll through
the STBY frequency (which would be in DUAL WATCH during MEM mode) and then
would be able to FLIP-FLOP that frequency to the active frequency. This is
how every other radio, aviation or HAM, with FLIP-FLOP that I have used operates.

STBY frequency when I near an airport and then remotely FLIP-FLOP that STBY frequency
to the ACTIVE frequency and never touch the radio.

way you have the MEM and DUAL WATCH functions set up. If I want to use the
radio the way I mentioned in the above paragraph, I will not be able to use the
MEM or remote function at all and I will have to fumble around with touching
the radio to change frequencies, which makes the remote functionality and MEM
completely useless in DUAL WATCH mode.

still be able to use DUAL WATCH and FLIP-FLOP.

is the appeal of an alpha-numeric display, on par with alpha-numeric feedback

is little value added by displaying a channel number.

to being way behind on getting orders processed due in large part to being gone
travelling for work. He apologized and said the order would be out shortly.
Making Ti-downs is indeed a part-time business for him.
I'm looking forward to gettin' mine. The ones I've seen are truely cool -and

--> RV-List message posted by: Chuck Jensen <cjensen@dts9000.com>
Matte,
This thread was a couple weeks old but I'll vouch for the value of exercise.
You need to be vicious about the BP you're willing to accept. I was getting
into the 125/95 range and decided that was enough. I'm now 105/75 and 20
lbs light. T
The big secret--there isn't one. Just started power-walking 10 minutes,
then 20, then 30, then 40 minutes a day. That's a LOT, but after getting to
the good numbers, you can slack back to 40 minutes 3-4 times a week to
maintain condition. Knock off the Big Macs, fries and sugar-water colas,
and wa-lah, you're there. If you walk in the evening, you can get a
walk-man and listen to the talk-radio political hacks--that'll drive your
blood pressure back up, but only temporarily. Meds are bad medicine--only
as a last resort.
Been there, done that.
Chuck

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!!

Glad you found the plastic ones at ACS. You might also try Summit Racing.
They have aluminum ones that I much prefer - they may be marginally more
than the plastic but still very cheap and they seal much better. They've
also got AN fittings and nifty vice pads to hold the hose fitting when
you're making up hoses.

--> RV-List message posted by: Charlie England <ceengland@bellsouth.net>
It's about time for me to get my annual 'vision inspection' & one of my
pilot friends tells me he's now wearing the new concentric ring bifocal
contacts and that his eye doctor (who is also a pilot) prescribed them
as ok to use while flying.
I know that the old weighted type lenses aren't approved. What about the
new type? Anybody flying with them who's gotten an official opinion on this?
Thanks,
Charlie

I can somewhat agree with Chuck. Lower your BP by lowering your weight.
But you don't need to go on a diet or exercise yourself to ruin. It can be
done by proper diet part of which Chuck mentions. Cut out the french fries,
butter and bread/rolls/donuts/ and sugared pop for a good starter. I think
it is better to read up on proper nutrition before reducing your intake.
One of my great resources and motivator is the Calorie Restriction Society.
They have a great website in my opinion. Their goal is to restrict calories
in order to improve life. I can attest to this after 6 months of use. I
feel much better, BP has dropped to 117 over 76 and my flexibility has
improved remarkably and my weight has also come down a bit over 20 lbs. The
goal of the CR Society is not just to lose weight but that is a result if
you change your life of eating better foods. Below is a reference for
anyone interested in learning more. I figure I can carry 4 more gallons of
fuel at no addition gross weight. The interesting thing is I do not feel
hungry with CR even though I eat less but this is all dependent on me eating
quality foods. If, for instance I eat a donut, I will get a sugar pike
reaction just like anyone else and be hungry a couple hours later. If I
don't put this type of junk food in my system, I really don't get hungry
that much.
Try this and click on
"how to" and "getting started" to get a good idea of what this might do for
you.

Charlie: I didn't get an "official opinion" on them, beyond simply passing my physical
with them the last two times. I tried to read whatever they put in front
of me with contacts in and with them out. I did not conceal the fact that
I was wearing contacts, but did not mention the bifocal nature of the right lens
to anyone. I made a passing score both for near and at distance with the
contacts in, and as far as I am concerned, that is all that counts.
YMMV.

Good morning list
About these contact lenses: I wear them. Have a close vision one in my right
eye for reading and a far one in the other for distance. They are great.
Wouldn't give them up for nothing. Yes, I still carry around a pair of 1.5 reading
glasses for the dim areas and for use as safety glasses. It took about a week
for my eyes to get used to them and for my brain to get it's act together. As
far as official, my AME said he didn't care. I only have a 3rd class medical
though. If I'm flying I have to use the reading glasses for the charts though.
They cost more, about double. My eye doctor said I'd probably only be able to
use them for about 4-8 years (I've used them for 3 years now) as the old eyes
change as the years pile on. 53 now. End of report I wouldn't be without them.
Good day Art B. Waldal

You wear them while you sleep only. Take them out during the day. What
does the FAA think?

Dear Listers
Unfortunately my other plane, a Lancair 360, is damaged beyond repair.
There is a lot of stuff that I'm removing from it.
Investigations on the engine are pending.
I have a Narco MK12D+ nav/com with indicator and 150 transponder both in
excellent condition for sale.
Anyone interested contact me off-list
