--> RV-List message posted by: "Philip Condon" <pcondon@mitre.org>
Don't bother or worry about with this plastic. When the professional painter
finally paints your airplane, the first thing he does is rub your aluminum
down with a chunk of street asphalt to rough up the surface to give the
primer something to stick to. Exaggerating here, but the point is you don't
want to be there when this prep process occurs, you'll cry. The end product
is a nice paint job though.............

2) Re removing blue plastic file.
We'd like to leave as much of it on as long as possible to protect the
alclad. What is the best way to remove a narrow strip along the rivet lines
without scoring the metal?
Just getting started,

I guess I just found out I am a racer ! I have used stainless steel tie down bolts
and after use I put them into my little tool bag(A leatherette shave kit
bag) until needed again. The tool bag has velcro on the bottom and sits on the
other half of the velcro on top of the center tunnel in our RV-4. Hasn't come
off yet,even when upside down.

Hi All,
Your link to a "wingtip" COM antenna, SA-006, appears to be the antenna
designed as a Lancair fuselage COM antenna. This is not a "wingtip" antenna.
The Aircraft Spruce and Specialty catalog has the Model 1A wingtip COM
antenna. If installed to the instructions, this is almost as good as the belly
mounted bent whip antenna.
This antenna is available directly from the manufacturer at a lower price
than AC$. Contact Bob Archer (310) 316-8796, or email him at
_bobsantennas@earthlink.com_ (mailto:bobsantennas@earthlink.com)
IMHO, the archives are a useless reference to "wingtip antenna".
There is more than one manufacturer of wingtip antennas. The archived posts
do not include the antenna manufacturer they are discussing (cussing? :-)
). Or, sometimes, if they were discussing a wingtip COM antenna, or NAV
antenna.

--> RV-List message posted by: Bob J <rocketbob@gmail.com>
My neighbor has a Walker air/oil seperator (now made by Airwolf) in
his Bonanza. These seperators use the vacuum pump outlet to pull
negative pressure on the crankcase via the seperator. At $475 they're
a bit pricey but I understand they work well. It appears to be a
simple unit that could be welded up fairly easily. Has anyone here
looked at making a homebuilt version?

Wayne & Jim: To answer the question, use a hot soldering iron and a strip
of wood for straight edge.
Better still to just remove the whole protection sheet and save some time.
The skin will, as Philip says, get scuffed up really well later on during
painting anyway. I cut the strips like you asked about and after 2 years,
there was a difference in how the exposed and unexposed skin looked after I
removed the remaining protective sheet. We want it to all look the same
before painting anyway, right? So, save some time. Take it off when first
working on it and be done with it. Little risk in doing that.

| Subject: | Help with Prop Choice (Catto or Sensenich) |
--> RV-List message posted by: "sdellangelo@netzero.com" <sdellangelo@netzero.com>
I am trying to decide whether to get a Sensenich or 3 bladed Catto for my 9A?
I searched the archives and have found only good things about the Catto and that
it does hold up to rain pretty well (even better if Prop Guard is installed).
Can anybody give me any pros/cons besides what I have? Here is what i've
got. I am definitely doing fixed pitch.
Catto is a little (not much) cheaper, probably lighter even with 3 blades??, performance
similar??, smoother, no RPM restrictions.
Sensenich is tougher?? (but Catto supposedly ok in rain as said above), better
idle because of more inertia. It does have RPM restrictions and also according
to Sensenich might be a problem with 9:1 compression that I plan to do.
Catto would be somewhere like 66X70 or 72 (the way he measures) and Sensenich 70X81
probably. I "should" be somewhere in the 170 horsepower range out of an
O-320.

What will the weight difference do for your CG? Might make a big difference

Another data point- Catto props have chewed a whole bunch of air around Reno
for many years, but now he mostly makes 3-blades for RVs... All your other
points agree with my experience.

I have the Van's standard fuel selector.
It is new but the handle is not tight.
It moves a small amount when switching
tanks.I feel it might become more loose and
eventually I will be unable to switch tanks.
Probably at the worst time!!
Have others had this problem?

Not familiar with the Cato but I had good luck with a Sterba and I liked my
Senenich 70X80 which is for sale since I went with a Constant Speed.

Have others had this problem?
=======================================
George-
What part is loose? As long as the handle tightly fits the shaft, a small
amount of slop in the mechanism is not a problem IMO. Mine has remained
absolutely unchanged in the 730 hrs, and I suspect that yours will be no different.

| Subject: | Pitot Static Check Nightmare |
--> RV-List message posted by: "Ross S" <rv7maker@hotmail.com>
O.K. Newbies, Listen up. When you start plumbing your pitot and static
systems be careful with the hardware you choose. I used some of the
nylo-seal fittings sold through spruce along with the o-ring style fittings
sold through Vans. Today I had an avionics shop come out to certify my
panel for Instrument Work and all hell broke loose. What should have been a
couple hour task turned into a major project. When we tried to test the
static system, it was tight with no leaks, but for some reason the Dynon
airspeed was cranking up along with the altitute, even though we applied
suction to both the pitot tube and the static ports. After about two hours
of head scratching and tearing apart my panel, we found that one of the
nylo-seal elbows I got from Spruce was plugged. It had a manufacturing
defect that left a thin layer of nylon in the middle of the elbow. You
could't see it but I tried to blow through it and turned blue in the face.
Moral of the Story: Buy good fittings ( I think the O-ring style are
better) and blow through all of them prior to assembly.
This would have saved me a couple hours of A&P ($65/hour) time as well as
about 6 hours of my time ($0.85/hour based on the planes market value) and a
bunch of chipped paint around screw heads on my once perferct panel.

I have been very satisfied with Nation Air for builder's insurance and now
have their in-flight coverage. Just my $0.02.

=================================
Sorry, the burden of proof legitimately rests with whomever is making a
claim - and that would not be me.
After 40 years in the telecom industry, I've learned to appreciate hard
antenna facts over warm and fuzzy subjective opinions.
YMMV.
